In Palmer Park early bathers refresh themselves in the cool water of Lake Scugog, sunbathers devour the tanning rays of the sun, kids run and play and others stroll enjoying the warmth and fresh air. Truely, the residents of Scugog Township are fortunate to have such attractions .as the lake, parks, and sports facilities right at their doorsteps. But unfortunately, living with these things day in and day out has made many of us take them for granted and we are therefore oblivious to their existence. Such is not the case with visitors to our town. On weekends and. holidays they arrive by the car load from Oshawa, Toronto and other neighbouring towns to take advantage of nature's gift to us. They can be seen in the parks having picnics, swimming in the lake, fishing along the causeways, and boating. Obviously they appreciate and enjoy what we take for granted. It was nice to see last week, the township has taken to adding more beach sand to the Kinsmen beach area. This popular spot was in need of more sand, and it will undoubtedly make the area more attractive and useable during the coming summer months. : Now if we can just get the Kinsmen to install the life buoys around the swimming area, the job will be complete. These buoys are extremely important as they map out the area in which the ground under-foot has been cleaned and at the same time keep out boaters and water skiiers who seem to enjoy showing-off in front of visitors to the park. In the past we have seen on many occasions, careless boaters speeding through the swimming area before the buoys were installed, making it nearly impossible for bathers to enjoy themselves in safety. While speaking of the park, it is nice to see how well groomed and clean it is kept during the week. This cleanliness is almost impossible to control on the weekends when hundreds of visitors use the park, but the township does an excellent job of refurbishing it early Monday morning. by J. Peter Hvidsten The well trimmed grass, neat flower beds and trees make it a park we can all be proud of. : If there is any one thing that the park could use, it would -be more picnic benches as those available are quickly occupied on the busy summer weekends. To unobservant residents of the area who drive by the park day after day, I suggest they take a few minutes some evening, park their car and take a stroll along the lakefront. It just may make them realize how fortunate they are. My wife and I do it occasionally and we find it is a great spot to finish off supper by slurping appreciatively on an ice cream cone. BAD INVESTMENT I still can't believe I did it! I just spent $8.00 on a ticket to see the Toronto Blue Jays play ball in Toronto next week. I'm really not a ball fan this time of the year, and as a matter of fact, I only get curious about the game at all when the snow is on the ground and the final two teams are fighting it out for the penant. But for the past two or three years, about 20 local men get together twice each summer and spend an afternoon or evening in Toronto at the ball game. Just how much of the game is absorbed by this group is debatable, but we do have a good time. i I guess you could compare our outing to one of those beer commercials where you see a group of guys building a cottage, or getting together in their favourite pub after a hockey game and they say "Every now and then Pete and the boy's get together for a bit of fun etc." Well that's just about how it is. The game means very little to any of us, but the fellowship is great. So next Wednesday afternoon a caravan of vehicles with Port Perry licence plates will begin the annual trek to exhibition stadium, to see the Jays meet the Kansas City Royals. If it's like most of the games we've seen it'll be a bore on the field, but there will be lots of action in the stands. You can bet on that! 2, were missing from the bench outside Mrs. Stark's room.

If this continues to happen, how are registers with the children. Its up to all parents to watch for anything that does not belong to their children. We have a nice school, with a nice addition and everything to make any child happy, so lets be honest along with it. We would appreciate the shoes back- we don't want the children punished or any- thing.

This committee grew until our 1981 Pioneer Days fell into place on May 16 and. 17. In order to recognize the talents and efforts of over 200 people I will mention a few.
