The club has a good number of trophies for both hockey and baseball, and it would delight the winners of these a: wards if the public could see them at the artificial rink (beâ€" side the snack bar is the space proposed), rather than have them sitting in someone‘s basement.

Mrs. Bernice Moase will be in charge of the snack bar, but the exect! tive expect to be called upon in assist when it gets very busy, es pecially during public skating time.

Ting‘s 1967 cartoon contribuâ€" tion to the world of laughter is just what this tired old planet needs right now. Merle Tingley. 46. of London, Ont.. uses his pen, whether writâ€" ing or drawing, to prick the ego of the pompous and give the highâ€" risers a bumpy backâ€"toâ€"earth landâ€" ing. The point is always wellâ€"taken. \ His generous portions of funâ€" ny fare served daily in newsâ€" papers like London Free Press ard weekly in Wesotn Times (the first syndicated Ontario newspapâ€" er to carry his work) provide solid nourishment for lovers of the ludicrous. _,,‘m and (FSVW Anessury % ;\’ "a, P w by p,g Grant _ 3i (fi ( 3 . ‘ 2‘;1-59" " o Ting draws on his own family (no pun intended) for inspiraâ€" tion in his "little man" situations.
