PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1947 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wim. T. Williams, Bditor. Phone 708, All Departments Kinsmen Playground | Is Delight Of Local School Children Through the efforts of the Whitby Kinsmen - Club and the Whithy Recreational Association dozens of Jocal youngsters are having the time 'of their lives during their summer vacation from school in the Kins- men Memorial ng The Kins- men's efforts amo to the provid- ing of various pieces of playground equipment while the Recreational Association's contribution was in securing two high school girls to organize games and supervise the children while they are in the park. "The Kinsmen Club of Whithy is doing its best to provide a safe, clean play area for the younger children of the town during their vacation," said Bill Williams, chair- man of the Kinsmen Memorial Park Committee, "and we believe that our park together with the Collin's Wood day camp is doing much to keep the younger children out of mischief during the vacation period when time normally would hang so heayy on their hands. "Although the Kinsmen Park started from a very small beginning, the club members have worked hard to provide a playground area in which the youngsters can enjoy themselves without tanger from speeding automobiles. In the few years that the club has operated the playground, a great deal of time and money has gone into the buying and erection of numerous swings, slides, teeter totters, sandboxes and whirligigs," he said. Mr. Williams added that the park this year has been possibly more successful than in other years due chiefly to the efforts of Joyce Grills and Janet Wells, the two high school pupils who are supervising and organizing the children. "We cannot thank the two girls and the Recreational Association enough," he said, "for providing the supervision and leadership that we as businessmen were not able to provide"! From early morning un- til late afternoon the girls are oc- cupied with the children in teach- ing them various games, reading to them and in general keeping a watchful eye out for their welfare. A carnival is being held in Bep- tember by the Kinsmen Club and it has been announced that the hig- gest part of any profits from the event will in turn be used by the club to provide additional equip- ment and featurés in the park. There is a possibility that a wad- ing pool might be constructed next year 'in the park but no definite statement to this effect has been made by club officials, Many local citizens have express- ed their. pleasure at the way the Whitby Kinsmen Club has "dug in" to provide a playground which can be a credit to any community. Many tled citizens have remarked that the club is taking a big load off the shoulders of the Town Fathers who have done little or nothing to provide a suitable outlet for childish spirits so far as a park site is concerned.

Dustan, Division of Entomology, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture. After years of study and careful observation the fact has become generally accepted that the gladiolus thrips is not able to pass the winter in the open in any part of Canada. Only those in- the storage cellar in the autumn. This at once suggests a logical method of control, namely, the treatment of the corms with some | fumigant or insecticide to destroy all the thrips before the corms are set out in the field in the spring. Growers have become familiar with this procedure and almost all now treat the corms in one way or an- other during the winter months. Only through the universal treat- ment of corms can the thrips be held in check.
