The conservation cause has once again hit the headlines, this time in the financial pages of our daily press. Reason for the publicity is that a takeover offer has been made to all shareholders of Associated Portland Cement Company Ltd. who own less than twenty shares.

Quite a number of S.B.W. members bought A.P.C.M, shares and would by now have received the offer documents. Some of you might be wondering what action should be taken. On this point the Colong Committee has made a recommendation. It is recommended that you accept the offer by completing and returning the transfer form; AND, you endorse your $4.00 cheque over to the Colong Committee by way of a donation. If you have already cashed your cheque, why not send them the $4.00 anyway. In this way you can give further tangible support to this excellent organization. | Quite a number of S.B.W. members bought A.P.C.M, shares and would by now have received the offer documents.
