THIIIISAY, OCOBER St. 1950THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIOPGELVN Through the co-operation of the Bowmanville Community Council for Recreation, the gen-1 erOus donations received from Various organizations and the in- dividuals who gave so wiilingly ,A their valuable time and assist- býe, we were able ta produce a Macessfuî summer playground programme. Presented in the following, paragraphs is a sum- mary of the programme and spe- cial hlghlîghts that -aried the regular activities. âummer Mon*,..,& The playgrounds -were in oper- ation for six weeks from July 12 ta August 23. We made use o! five areasto carry on aur pro- gramme and these were allotted as follows: Ontario St. School and the Lions Community Centre contained the tiny tots, ranging in age from three ta seven. Me- morià1 Park, Central Public School grounds and Berry's field (Liberty and Carlysie St.), pro- vided recreation for the older ege group ranging in ege from seven to sixteen. A girl instructor was ~¶mployed at each phayground the playgrounds were open 'oim 9 ta 11:30 a.m. and 2 to 4 p.m. each day, Monday through Friday. The staff, compiled o! Misses Joan Hutchinson, Marilyn Leask, Colleen Hutchinson, Ca- therine Stewart and Margaret Reynolds. Miss Kay Jones was employed as part time office help and Mr. Jack Ross as phayground supervisor. The overail pro- gramme was under the guidance of the Playground Supervisor and the Director of Recreation. fluring the six weeks pro- gramme, we inaugurated several highlights in order ta vary the regular ectivities. Each Thurs- day aftecnoon, ail the children Who were permitted by their par- ents ta attend, were transported by chartered busses to Orono Park where they were free ta particl- pate in a planned programme of swinfing, novelty races, soccer, basebahi and treasure hunts. The children brought their own lun- ches and it was interesting ta, watch the bartering o! sandwich- os and the ever present "Here, have some o! mine" attitude that was prevalent among the child- cen as they sat acound the pic- nic tables. These trips were very popular and tho' each one left us ail vecy weary we knew th.at it wes worthwhile, as we experi- enced the joy and excitement of each child. Wiener Roasts We held two wiener roests dur- ing the six weeks. The first one was not quite what we expected. After due publicity through no- tices handed out by the instruc- tors, it was thought that about sixty would be present. Conse- quently, we prepared for eighty. The thought o! amazement and the feeling o! "How are we going ta feed them" came ta aur minds when we counted one hundred and seventeen present. Needhess to say, there were a number who were diseppointed in not receiv- ing their two hot-dogs but at leest they went through the experience o! trying ta toast one wienec on the fire. Learning from experi- ence, the next roast was fac more successful. We prepared for one hundred, boihed the wienecs and thirty-one showed up. However, the ones who were present had the time o! their lives and ete until their stomachs could hold no more. Bath roasts were hehd at Jackman's Creek, on Mr. Burns land, an excellent spot foc such an occasion. Each week the Phayground Su- pervisor arranged inter-phay- graund competition in basebail, tetherbaîl, quoits, horseshoos, and volleyball. On Tuesdays the games ensued and the feeling o! true comJypetition and phayground spirit was prevelent. We were very fortunate this yeac in having the use o! the w Sept. 27 M, Oct. 20 ADMISSION (Includinu Tax) - i. - $1.15 CHILDREN UNDER SIXTEEN NOT ADMITTED m :- Ne w Improved Parking Lois Firsi Class Restaurant M e YEs F. 1.
