"After much soul searching, I decided the effort and long-term com- mitment required to make the new store successful was not something I could undertake at this stage of my life," said Mr. Dowson. He said he had arranged to sell the assets of his local company to National Grocers, to allow for continued operation of a Valu-Mart until the new store is ready in the fall of 1996. The chain was required to reach an agreement with the land- lord on renewal of a lease for the Valu-Mart, but could not do so. As a result, the building must be vacated by mid- January. "We understand and truly regret the negative impact the unplanned and rapid forced closure of the Valu-Mart will have on the lives of our loyal employees," said Mr. Dowson. "Preference will be given for employment to any unemployed former Valu-Mart employee when the new larger store 1sopen in the fall of 1996." The Best Christmas shopping is right here at home...

David Shearman conduct- ed the Service and his message, "How to Live in Wholeness" when the rest of the world is in "Broken- ness" - Kay Notman read the Scripture from Isaiah 35:1-10. Responsive reading from Luke 1-47-55. The choir trio Shirley Jackson, Regenia Walker and Rev. David Shearman sang, "Hope Is A Candle" accompanied by Karen. Trio was excellent!

Sympathy Saddened to learn of the passing of Vera Honey - in her prime, a very active lady in the Honeydale Women's Institute - I be- lieve a charter member - she will be missed by many family members and friends. Also saddened to learn of the death of Evelyn Har- ris - widow of Thomas Har- ris, lawyer, now deceased. Evelyn was well liked by all! She had many friends who will miss her sadly. So pleased to have son Alan Cawker and wife El- eanor of Oshawa on Satur- day evening for a real good visit. Later a cup of coffee and cookies before they left for home.

The pur- pose of the meeting was to apprehend how much in- terest was present for Port Perry to join up in the Gus Macker Association's circuit of tournaments. Gus Macker if invited would come to Port Perry with a complete layout of equipment including lighting and then mark out the courts which would allow a number of teams to play off at one time. Invitations would be sent to various towns and villages in the Durham, east Toronto, Newmarket, Barrie, Orillia, Lindsay, Peterborough and etc. to send teams to participate. This would cover a wide age group. It would be a three day weekend of tour- naments starting Friday night and ending around 4 p.m. on Sunday. This weekend would be a great boost for mer- chants, a splendid week- end for players, exciting for spectators. Any profit made would go to charites.
