Gentlemen of the Arena Board During the past live months I have had an opportunity to re view the activities in relation to the service required of the Arena building and facilities and have made a careful analysis of the total situation for study and planning in the future The influence of the atmos phere of the building makes itself apparent in the conduct of those who use the Arena Roof The ice roof is of gal- vanized sheets and in fair con dition Would suggest a close check up renailing caulking and replacement where necessary About leaks are evident but some only on a southwest rain Roof over the entrance and food bar was not completed and gives trouble at times in the refresh ment room below Drainage Will a new drain put in for the purpose of getting rid of the snow in the snow pit The one now in use is out of line small and continu ally clogs we have broken the floor to keep it clear The east end of the Arena needs attention immediately The building rises and drops to the extent of inches throughout j the season making it difficult to keep the hockey cushion on the end in place plus the seat ing walks and pipes Outside Drainage The condi tion is bad at all times around the east and north end of the Arena building At the present time all there is is a deep ditch to drain the water off the road and no drainage from this ditch which is wet at ail times This is the main source of our building trouble A retaining wall of some kind would eliminate trouble and aid in the installa tion of an indoor floor Safety Guard Need guard I for the refrigeration machine for the safety of the staff Painting a Interior of the Arena seals girders and east end Entrance of building cement blocks could be given a spray to take away the drab appearance of the cement block also the small building at the side of the Arena Repairs Seats and hockey cushion- will require its yearly repairs and replacements of bro ken boards etc Arena Kink entrance could use a door to he seating section this to be closed when there is no program on the Arena ice or special practice periods This would prevent people from walk ing all over the seat walks and m Sanitary Contractor Septic Tanks Pumped Drains Cleaned and Repaired Service RICHMOND HILL Looking for well what do you think mum mm will find it COUNCIL SIDELIGHTS continued from Page he substantiated what Council lor had charged against the arena conditions Mr Mur ray knows the arena heller than most people since ho has been interested in spurt since boy hood When he was appointed to the arena board as a council representative he took duties seriously He was not will to be an inactive Having spoken out in the inter- eats of the ratepayers in an ef fort to remedy arena condition- he was attacked by Mr Under hill and the Aurora Rainier Whose opinion do you suppose the ratepayers would prefer to accept on the condition the arena Mr Murrays or Mr Tuckers Mr Murray has lived a lifetime in Aurora Mr Tuck er has lived hi Aurora for some three or four years Such are the substantial fac tors which must he taken into consideration when judgment is formed on the report There are other consid erations also which we shall lake account of In future arti cles Mayor He Is not the sort of man who will he browbeaten inlo something for the sake of little facesaving a little whitewash Jag so that something Is not a correct re port in accordance with the facta The mayor made a of the arena goinit Ihreugh it ami over it from end to end Having done so he told the citizens of Aurora the truth the condition of the arena When Deputy Murray tried to force the mayors hand In getting him to sign a report which he did not believe to ho true the deputyreeve was act ing against the best Interests of the town It would have been a triumph I hey got the mayors signa ture on their report Hut they didnt For the stand ho has taken Mayor Hose stands high in the opinion of the citizens of Aurora children running around the building Recreation Room This can mean the process of good character building and should be well supervised and an organized program developed As the main office is not connected with this room in any way would suggest an office could be built at the south end of the recreation room This office could be also used for an extra wicket for tickets on busy nights and as the mana ger is on duty daily it would give supervision to the recreation room at all times Entrance and Parking Lot As this is the entrance to the Town of Aurora it should be a beauty spot At present the ground is too low in spots and mud holes form in the spring and fall Sug gest a grading and fill process proper parking signs hedges for the fence and in front of the building plus a few Town bench es for the comfort of the people who walk back and forth during the summer months- Arena could also use a flag pole as it is a Memorial Arena Flooding Process Room should be built under the seat or at the east end of the building close to the ice surface so that flooding can be done as in other Arenas with barrel The present system is by a drag method using about feet of hose and is handled from the entrance to the dressing rooms and downstairs food bar Very cumbersome and in the way of players and specta tors Dressing Room Walls and Of fice Cement blocks need atten tion and in some cases and caulking to close the cracks in the walls Floors Downstairs AH cement floors in the hallway and dress ing rooms heed a finished coat as it is impossible to keep the dust down and they are chipping away Trends in program noted a Increasing tendency on the part of boys and girls to help and show leadership Increased emphasis on boys particularly small groups for club work and program So far no rooms around the Arena can be tied up for this type of work People are showing a greater interest towards the work the Arena are trying to do for youth and in a few years much help can be anticipated for program leadership The Arena officials are trying to do a good job of keeping high standards to help develop good Christian character through sportsmanship in sports and rec reational activities

but principally upon the relationship between wages and production WILLIS The Drug Store News agent Tobacconist etc Founded St Aurora Telephone If wages go up without a corresponding rise in the volume of manhour production then prices are bound to go up too So it is really up to the Canadian people whether or not we have stable prices If we Canadians want the cost of living to stabilize then
