I guess there were too many other 'things. going on in other towns that drew the crowds away." • DeSpite the reasonably good weather, attendance was much lower than previ, ous years. "The gate re- ceipts were only about half what they were last year for the tractor pull." said Mr. Walker. There were several things going on at the carnival. There was a midway all weekend, two dances, an antique car strew. a flea market and a tractor pull. "The carnival went fairly well." said club president Mallen Vincent. However. "we lost the carnival at- mosphere," he said. Other' years. the midway has been held at the Lions park, and had this atmosphere.•• Several Lions felt the same way. "At the park we'd de better," said Mr. Walker. "I think we would've had it there this year but for the diamond being torn up." Mr. Vincent added. "We're looking forward to getting back to the park."

With everyone being prompt we were able to leave Seaforth ahead of schedule. We travelled to Dublin and picked up five more pass- engers, then on to_ Mitchell, and we were on our way. Our lirst stop was Ken Reeves' greenhouses at Woodbridge. We toured the greenhouses and gift shop there, where several mem- bers bought plants to take home. We ate our lunch in a lovely open, patio surround- ed by hanging planters and barrels of flowers= We then left for Cullen Gardens and Minature R.R. 2, Lampton Road. Whitby. It is very hard to explain how beautiful this place is. The miniature village is in this large garden. Over 100 miniature buildings make up the village. They are exact replicas of historic houses, shops, churches, and farms found throughout southern Ontario built to one-twelfth sCule, The.building are _fqlly landscaped, complete with a miniature population, cars, trucks and trains all display- ed for perfect viewing. The wind- ing path takes you over two covered bridges, past many flower beds and at the north end there is a unique minia- ture country fair grounds complete with miniature aeti- ial cars, Merry-go-round. bingo, games of chance and many others. Although we did not stay tit dark; the gardens are spectacular at night, All miniature buildings, ' street fights and automobiles light up at dusk. There are hundreds of garden lights placed throughout the grounds to create a colourful wonderland. There is 'also a restaurant, gift skin plant shop, snack bar and beautiful outdoor cafe on the grounds. BY P.R.O. CORD SCOTT It's nice to be home again even though we did have a nice holiday. We dropped into many Legions between The Legi9n News Calgary and Vancouver, in- cluding the Island and re- ceived mementoes of our visit there. There must be a lot of Legions in the Domin- ion of Canada. some the size of our branch and many that are very large branches and some quite a bit smaller. But whatever Branch you were in there was always somebody that inquired where you were -from, the name of the branch happened during our absence. Jack Muir,in- formed me he had a good crowd to the pork barbeque and everything went off per- fectly. Congratulations to Jack and his hard working enter- tainment committee. Our sports chairman Jim Watson. now on holidays, left me with the whiners -of-the Zone Golf "and the two-ball foursome. First at the zone golf held on Sat.

Referring to the ' "fun bucks" which the merchants sponsored. he said there wasn't enough time to ex- plain them to everyone. in- ducting Lions members. He thought the merchants would try something different next time. He expects they will run 'a sale with the carnival next year and "although there's nothing definite. we've con- sidered something with the Ciderfest."
