GOOD FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT Good family entertainment is not, as easily found as it once was, but its popularity is as high as ever.

I ain referring. to the • le who are travelling. or' . . people people even out for • a Sunday drive. The ones who abuse the 'privileges; of using public property are the : very ones' who : have 'spic and span' homes and are most particular about their property Some of our roadside parks resemble, garbage dumps at the end of one day: ;Bags of::garbage,,or. bits and pieces of lunches are scattered • over the grounds, under • the :picnic tables and on the outside of , gar- bage cans, Pop, ; coffee and other drinks are slopped over the tables. and .people_dou t haze ttie capon decency to wipe them:: Not 'all people are like this, but too many are. '` A numberof our beautiful campsare in shambles by the end of the season. `Pot'shots are taken at the garbage can, and unfortunately, ' poor many' are a shot. The washroom floors are strewn with toilet ; paper, which many children loveppulling' out of ' dispensers. The floor splashed with water, .soon :becomes a muddy mess. Even little notices such. as. "PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH DIAPERS. DOWN.. THE *TOILET" ^make an extraordinary..._ wall piece an. d are never e. n serious! Nat - .: `no cedoesn t refer�yWh�t-da can' il s- .. 'posables diapers do?

The, man that.would. never clean his razor dui the sink at home, might •when.. he is away because his wife can't nag at him for leaving such a mess. Instead, thefellow after him cleans . up the mess. Our nice beaches ' along Lake Huron are 'the proud owners of beer bottles, liquor' bottles, and • pop bottles' (and any others you; can think of) of all colours, sizes and .shapes.
