Thunks. This is a much used word, but one that is usually truly meant when said. That is how we feel towards the many fine people who visited our Open House last Saturday. We truly are thankful for these people as they showed an interest in the biggest move of our lives, the expaning and uplifting of our business. Truly these interested people are the customers we need to have a good business and their feelings were shown through their viewing our plant on Saturday. We want to give a special thanks to our employees who

Very Encouraging!

It certainly is an encouraging site. If you haven't been past the newly completed tennis courts, one of the steps of the Walkerton Recreational Project, you have missed a very encouraging site. On several occasions we have passed this beautiful location on Washington Street in Walkerton and seen many young, people there waiting to play on else busily engaged in a good-game of tennis. This is encouraging for two reasons . . . one, because the - Town of Walkerton and the businesses went together in this tremendous fund-raising project to give the town fine additional recreational facilities, and two, because tennis is a very good and healthy sport for the young people to become interested in. In this day and age of cars and motorcycles many young people get almost no exercise at all. and tennis certainly will change this for any who participates. This program was started by • a very few individuals and the eftorts and time they have put ix New Umbrella The umbrella frame, traditionally consisting of 44 spindly <<netal pieces, can now be made in one durable piece. The new ^frame is made of a plastic compound with 30 molded-inhinges, cheaper to produce and comes in colors to match the umbrella fabric.

THANKS!

helped so much during this time and the many fine people who sent floral displays that added so much to the success of the day. In all. things went very smoothly. We explained many phases of our operation briefly to those who were interested as explaining in detail every point is impossible., We were proud to show off our new and previous equipment, which joins together to give us what wa feel is a very modern and adequate plant. Once again, from all of us at the Independent-News Co., Inc., we say “Thank You."

into it, plus the help given by all donors, certainly has added to the facilities of the town. This is keeping the recreational opportunities growing with the town. Money is still needed in this project and now' public prescription is being asked. Any parent who has had to “shell out" for a tennis racket and balls might think they have done their share . . . but just drive by and see what you think of this project. If they would -rather their children would be somewhere else, perhaps where they don't even have any idea of, fine, but if they are thankful for such a fine facility as this and the new’ little league baseball diamond, then they should show their appreciation. Donations from SIO.OO on up are asked of individuals, this amount being very little investment in the raising of their children. They are always accepted at the Farmers State Bank in the name of the Walkerton Recreational Committee. Big City Mexico City is the third largest city in North /America after New York and Chicago, with a population of nearlv 3 million. Common sense, not public opinion, should be the guide for your daily conduct.
