On Sundays the crowds at Grand Bend have been exceptionally large and all available space for parking is quickly taken, up particularly when the weather is fine. For the next couple of weeks cottag­ es and cabins have all been rented. This year there has been quite an influx of American visitors and American cars are familiar on the streets. There is plenty of activity this year to take care of the crowds. The Casino and roller skating rink are as popular as oner and a long line-up can be seen fre­ quently in front of the Aldon Theatre. There is considerable building activity. The new town hall is fast nearing completion. With its rest room accommoda­ tion it will be a great asset for the week-end visitors.
