EIGHTH YEAR, NO. 28 GANGES, . Thursday, July 13, 1967 $3 per year. Copy, June Was Hotter This Year June weather beat the last two years at . According to the figures com- piled by the meteorological ob- server at Ganges, H.J.Carlin, June weather was several degrees warmer than has been the case for the past two years. High temperature for the month was 87 degrees, on June 18, while low mark was on June 13, the mercury fell to 47 deg. In June, 1966 high temperat- ure was 80 deg. and low reached 42 deg. A year previously, in June, 1965, the high was 84 deg. and the low 41. This year saw less rain than fell last June. Precipitation am- ounted to 0.56 ins., while last year's figure for the same period was 1.53 ins. In June, 1965, rain amounted to 0.28 ins. Maximum mean temperature last month was 71.6 deg. and minimum mean, 46.1.

MEANING REVERSED Complete reversal of the Int- ent was given to a story in Drift- wood last week. Reference was made to the comments in a re- cent Anglican church bulletin regarding the recent school ref- erenda. Driftwood stated that the writ- er was concerned over the man- ner in which students might react to the rejection. The sentence should have read, "I hope they (the students) do not consider it aimed at them". The word, 'not' had been omitted.
