As a matter of fact, it was apparent that perhaps as early as in a week's time, sufficient money will have been promised to en- courage the committee to enlarge the scope of its activities with the object of carrying the campaign on to a successful conclusion, which would mean, of course, that $100,000 will be forthcoming. The Board at the present time would like to see at least $25,000 in sight, feeling hat prom there on the prospects for ultimate suc- oess Ait be brighter. Citizens approached, who have pubscribed $500, did so for most part without hesitation with very little salesmanship , for they seemed to realize t the new artificial ice arena a must ip § growing town, and | be a distinct asset but would more | than pay its way, serving, as it will, not only the Town of Whitby but a large surrounding district, even Oshawa, where the arena fa- cilities are known to be taxed to the limit every winter. The Board plans a public meet- ing in the near future in the Town Hall to give further impetus to the roject and this meeting, it is jeved, will constitute the go ahead signal for the successful comple- tion of the entire campaign, In a week's time, it 1s expected, another meeting of the Board will be held, at which time it is ex- pected that it will be possible to issue to the public an encouraging and convincing financial state- ment. . The way is open now, and it will be broadened, for subscrip- tions of more and less than $500, but further announcement along this line will be made later. An important fact is that when the arena company to be organized is fully constituted, all subscrib- ers will have the satisfaction of knowing that they are partners in the enterprise. Approve Lakeshore League Schedule The Lakeshore League, of which the Whitby Merchants are mem- bers, has approved a schedule for the coming season. The Merchants play their first game of the sea- son at Port Hope \ { on May 18th, which this year is Victoria Day, will play host to the Lindsay Merchants. The schedule was approved at a league meet- ing in Hope last week. At an OBA meeting in Hamilton on the weekend, Whitby Merchants were again named Intermediate "A," says Bill Hurley, but leagues were also given the authority to classify teams within their leagues if they wished to do so. Hence, he adds, there is the prospect that Oshawa's entry in the Lakeshore loop may be classified as Senior. The locals are holding their first meeting of the season here tonight.
