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. The offer is $4.00 per share, which is considerably higher than the current price on the Stock Exchange. | The conservation cause has once again hit the headlines, this time in the financial pages of our daily press.

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.
