The property surveyed--is own
ed by Arqhie, Courtney and is-
situated to the south-west of the
Point Clark booth - operated; by
Cyril Bamford.; .
The plan, we understands has
been submitted .to Ithe Ontario
-Departmdnt^of’ Planning; and De
velopment, for atudy and consid
eration., If such a development
h undertaken it? would possibly
eliminate the windingly “rdman-
tiC” trail into__ The Point—The-
'new* road would possibly follow
the foad allowance •through the
bush straight down from the Sec*
ondt Concession and then at right
angles to connect with the cot
tagers’ road south from the Point.
Td many it appears that a'pub
lic park at ithe Point is becoming
more and more essential to avoid
the congestion at the Lighthouse
and the overrunning xof private
property that results from the
increasing trend- of- flocking -to
i the beaches.

and “Revive Us Again” were
among the favorites.
The testimony of years of faith
was the itheme of the worship
period. The singing of “The Lord’s-
My Shepherd” and the reading of
Paul’s. courage in. the storm and
shipwreck inspired the challenge
