ErEiIMrTEmN THURSDAY MAR Page In the Mall Bag Having Pool at School Encourages Student Use This swim programme held at Pool has been conducted or the past two years and we currently have a waiting list of fifty people There arc many more swim programmes we would like to see available to Georgetown people In January we formed a committee to study existing pool facilities We have Georgetown people who participate In swim at McMurehy layfleld Oakvllle Burlington and Mfsslssauga Pools and therefore we have some understanding of both the legal agreements and the operation of community pools located at schools and or municipally owned sites When we consider how a pool can best serve our com and also obtain maximum usage we feel that there are advantages in having the pool facility located on Board of Education property This will encourage maximum student use of the pool The swim programmes Town of Georgetown Main St North Georgetown Ontario To Members of Council The Georgetown and District is vitally Interested in the construction of an Indoor pool In Georgetown that will be a maximum benefit to the community Last year people registered for the proximately programmes which were offered including 150 people aged eight to adult in the Red Cross educational swim programme Irish Gypsies Would Be Missed RBI Dear Sirs It Is that time of the year when I send my story to you for St Patricks Day Thanking you for your kindness over the years Best wishes to you all Catherine Graham THE IRISH GYPSIES The original gypsies were an ancient and primitive They had their ginnings in W India about the year 1 From there they started moving due to warlike tribes that descended upon them Between the years to 1400 they had penetrated into Ireland Most of them stayed in Romania Hungry and Bulgaria where they are still living Today they are even Found in North America and Australia but like all others they have had to move with the times and arc now using motorized vehicles instead of horse drawn ones They have always been a colourful race wearing bright clothes and ornate jewelery especially the women who have always been famous as fortune tellers They are also a musical people and many of tunes were used by Franz Lilt and Johannes Brahms in their com positions Carmcl used to sing a rather catchy gypsy tune In Ireland the gypsies were also known as Tinkers Some say they were ordinary Irish people who took to the road as they had no place else to go descendants of evicted and famine stricken families who were content to stay amongst the hedgerows and the rushes ana have remained there ever since They fed a very hard and unpredictable life remaining very close to nature Is it safe to say the modern day hippie has gypsy tendencies In Ireland we lived on a byroad called Valley Road About half way up this road was an old abandoned form house This was real hideout for gyp sics and tramps the latter have all disappeared as It is unlawful now to beg I can still see the gypsies horses grazing along the ditches They often passed our house and when they did we were not allowed to go out as there was always he rumour going round that they would steal little children Somehow 1 doubted it as they really had enough to contend with If they did not steal the children they were certainly blamed for the pea ranee of any other thing that was tost around the neighbourhood On mv visit to Ireland In my sister lost a lawn roller We were on our way to K ilk eel town to do our shopping and met the When we returned the roller was missing Naturally the gypsies were immediately blamed wondered what use gypsies would have for a lawn roller and it was mighty heavy into the bargain so I suggested that we look around before the alarm was raised Of course it turned out a relative had borrowed it in our absence The old saying certainly applied to them When you get the name of early rising you can lie abed all day Today gypsies get welfare and arc offered homes if they accept them However I am sure they would be missed on the Irish roads as they added colour and diversity to a mechanized way of life Just as the do here we would all be the poorer without them Catherine Graham CONCRETE GRAVEL BUILDING SAND ROAD GRAVEL ILL and TOP SOIL BUD Williams J will be complimentary to both school and Recreation Department swim programmes We see that a necessary part of the community swim activities must take place In daytime hours during the week and it is essential that the municipality and separate schools be guaranteed some specific weekday daytime usage of he pool This consideration allow usage of the pool by pre school tiny tots and the mentally and physically handicapped To allow maximum usage of the pool by the community there are some important physical features such as Instruction rooms storage facilities for community equipment separate en trances for community people and a lockable en trance to the school which we would like to see discussed In the planning of the Georgetown pool This letter is we hope a sincere indication to the Town of Georgetown that we want to participate in the of the proposed pool We therefore ask to be invited to attend future meetings on the indoor pool Yours truly Georgetown and District The Herald KIN KASIN0 will be on 23rd June at the Arena It will be the best 10 youll spend this year you bet
