ORONOi WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 16th, 1968 ORONO WEEKLY TIMES (ÂuLi.tlxrized as Second Classe mail, Post Ofifce Depaz1tment, Published every Tlhursday at the office a£ publicatioe Main Street, Phone 109, Orono, Ontario E-qablished in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Edtor and Managerý MIAKE FULL USE The discussion over the use of the Public School General Purpose roins in the Townsbip School Area be- came a littie heated last Moniday evening when a request was made by a Kendal group to make further use of the General Purpose room in Kendal. It seems reasonable that these roins sbould be used as much as possible by the general public. No doubt they are built chiefly for educational purposes but stili they remain idie a good percentage of the time out of school hours. The expenditure of $70,000 to $80,000 warrants full use of these buildings by the community in which they are located. There iare occasions when the school may wish to use the rooms during the evening but these would, for pub- lic schools, be few and far between. A littie co-operation would go a longway lu seeing that the buildigs do serve the community as well as the school. There is no doubt that community use of the rooms will increase maintenance costs but surely this should be offset by a rent or by a gratit through the school system or through the municipal treasury. The city of Oshawa is making a study to make more use of their expensive gym- natoriums and they are looking into the possibility of mun- icipalgrants to offset the additional costs. Recreation Com- missions in ther centres are paying rent for community non-profit groups and it seems reasonable that somewhere funds are available for their use. The present set-up i n Clarke whereby individuals us~ ing the general purpose rooms make financial payments to caretakers does seemi a littie unbusinesslike. Possibly they should set a specific rate so that the rent is the samne throughout the entire system. As it now stands one may pay one sum in Kendal and another ln Newtonville. We feel that it is the obligation of the Board to set the rates and that the caretakers be responsible to the Board to carry out certain duties in comnection with the use of the general purPose rooms. By ail means make as much use, of the rooms as pojssible, even 'to the point of six evenings a week. The seChool conld stili have preference -and we feel certain that thé Principals of the scbools will work thleir scbedules into tho(se promnoted by the community groups. The taxpayers haqve pai(n the shjot, ]et ail age groups miake use of thlis service. AbseNot Warranted Vandalism at the Orono Park is causing'co'ncern, not only with the Park _Board but ialso the superinitendent of the Orono Tree Nursery. It is understood that the Board has called in the, Ontario Provincial Police and. are to lay charges against anyone wilfully damaging the park or for- estry property. Mr. Wmn. Bunting reports that ail the windows in the Change House have beeni broken, ýeven to the point of breaking the sash. Somne siding bas also -been ripped off the side of the building to further deface the building. It is a pity that this Property cannot be valued as an asset to this eommunity by the vandals. It is piaced ini the Park for'the enjoyment of everyone as is the park A~self. A littie restraint will go a long way to keep our'park in top condition anid this kind of abuse cannot be tolerated.
