earlier this month to be held at the Optimist Club in Newmarket on Jan and at 730 pm Ac cording to Barb Watt of Newmarket five people attended the meeting and waited for more than an hour and nobody from the Smoke showed up So they finally went home in a huff and a puff Utile play on words there We wonder if Roy Green is still the loyal and true supporter of the Toronto Argos after they dumped Mel Profit from the CFRB Radio game broadcasts apparently because he is too critical I thought the had a little more class The McGouen household has always got a big kick out of Mel Profit As a matter of fact we would always use the CFRB game broadcast and turn off the audio on television when the games were on Former York MP John Roberts once told a local reporter hat he was an avid Argo fan until Leo dropped profit as a player Well they have gone and done it again The Newmarket Legion Ladies Auxiliary will hold its annual dance at the Legion Hall Jan The proceeds will go to raise funds to
