Dar- lington Provincial Park, just east of Oshawa, as did hundreds of others in the past week Camp Superintefdant Oscar Irwin reported that a record number of people have visited the park since it opened in May and added that many' records were broken over the Dominion Day long weekend. On Sunday alone 1100 carloads of people visited the park, and a well that "would never run dry" ran dry. Most of the park's 230 camping spots were occupied by trailers and tents over the weekend, said Mr. Ir- win. PERMIT SALE DOUBLED Figures. for permit sales in the past week indicate that twice as many people take ad- vantage of provincial park fa. cilities this year as -did last year. From June 24 to June 30, $49 daily permits were issued, 359 annual permits were sold and 323 camping permits were sold, These figures compare with 554 daily, 228 yearly and 191 camping permits sold in the same week in 1962.

Lifeguards are on duty through the week and on weekends and watch over swimmers whether they choose the lake or the bay. Their hours are from 11 a.m. to ? p.m. Monday to Friday and from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Satur- days and Sundays. Boating and water skiing are also popular at the park, Special features such as a boating safety demonstration which is tentatively planned for Monday, Aug. 5, also attract many visitors to the park.
