Up to now the baseball, soecer and -football fields have been available for use free of charge. Park residents elected a -community council in May, 1969, in an effort to .solve some of their problems, It folded last April because of a lack of interest irl the city and a feeling of futility among the residents, Mr. McCart said. He .else blamed the transient nature of residents "who have no desire to stay in such a community permanently, Of the 12 original council members, we los, eight in less than a year." OBLIVIOUS OF EVERYTHING — The lovers in the above scene from last week's South Huron District High School drama club production "Egad, You're a Cad" were oblivious to everything around them. Kathy Simmons and Bruce Adkins are not paying any attention to maid Kathy McEwen and villain Robert Doerr. T-A photo Crediton, 94.65; Centralia, 89.65 and Dashwood 84,65. Reeve Hayter also said, "We realize some of the Huron Park residents are in the low income bracket but we are trying to bold taxes to a level they can afford. We haven't ignored them at all. We have spent more in the last year on dog control problems in the Park than the rest of the township put together." Park manager John Malone Said residents have a curling rink, ice-skating arena, ball diamonds, a gymnasium and a swimming pool available to them. Park residents D'Arcy McCart and Rev. David Ellyatt of Centralia Faith Tabernacle, both charter members of a short-lived Huron Park community council, say they are receiving little help from the township or the ODC to solve the lack of money to establish recreation programs and day-care services for children of working mothers. Mr. Ellyatt said the ODC charges such high rentals for the gymnasium and arena residents in the "low-wage" area can't afford them. Malone said charges last year for minor hockey and figure skating were $5 per hour. Huron Park children using the Claims by residents of Huron Park at the Ontario Development Corporation's industrial park here that the ODC and Stephen Township are ignoring the needs of park residents evoked strong objections last week from involved_officials. "We have done way, way beyond what we should have done," said ODC management director Alan Etchen of Toronto. "All their facilities and services are provided and we gave them a $250 donation to buy sports equipment for their recreation program." They have more facilities and services available to them than most towns in the area," said Stephen Township reeve James Hayter. Reeve Hayter said the unusual taxation of people renting homes was a provincial concession given the township in lieu of grants it received when the military base was in operation. The actual taxes paid by residents at Huron Park are exactly the same as those paid by farm and residential property owners in areas that are not incorporated as police villages. Last year, Huron Park ratepayers paid a mill rate of 75.65 or about $135 on an average assessment of $1,800. Stephen clerk Wilmar D. Wein said Huron Park assessments run from $1,500 to $2,000 with $.1.800 being a "fair average." In 1969 the tax rates charged the township's police village residents were as follows: Centralia/ Farmers Supply Ltd.

Councillor Ross Taylor told the T-A Wednesday afternoon the three men were not satisfied with the machine in that it appeared to need some mechanical work and also new brooms. He said the one in Toronto was apparently in better condition and for sale at the same price, so they decided to have a look at it. At Tuesday's meeting, Dobson reported to council he had discussed the matter of a power sweeper with officials in Goderich and had been advised that the machine would pay for itself within one year. He said Goderich found that dirt was clogging sewers and drains, but this had been remedied with the sweeper, Council members were advised that the executive of the Board of Trade had approved a motion heartily endorsing council's suggested plan of purchasing a sweeper.

We couldn't get anyone better qualified," said Wooden, Wooden went on, "As principal of the school I was satisfied that it was a good program, well structured. It was geared to cover all aspects of outdoor recreation covering botany, forestry and pond ecology, to name only a few."

"They may as well go to Russia," he said if council wanted such legislation. The Mayor countered that council could prohibit them from throwing away the wrappers and other remains from their lunch and Taylor agreed, but noted this could only be done by following Boyle's suggestion of preparing an anti-littering bylaw. While that was approved, council also decided to write school authorities and ask them to explain the problem to the students in the hope some changes could be made. Members felt that the new bylaw would also alleviate the necessity of a waste container at the Anglican church property as had been requested clue to the fact students were tossing litter from their lunches onto the grounds there. WANT CLEANUP Council also approved sending a letter to Sam Sweitzer asking him to move vehicles at his Waterloo St. yard which are encroaching on town property. It was reported several vehicles were parked partly on the street allowance.
