The Ontario Government has a firm policy
of establishing and maintaining provincial
parks and campsites.
This year, for example, four new provin-
cial parks and over 600 new campsites are
being developed for the enjoyment and
recreation of Ontario residents— bringing
the total number of operating parks to 120
and campsites to 21,000.
The new parks are:
Silent Lake Provincial Park, 1860 acres sit-
uated 13 miles north of Apsley on High-
way 28.
85 campsites are available, but no motor
boats will be allowed. Regular fees apply.
Ferris Provincial Park, situated one mile
south of Campbellford on County Road 31,
has been expanded by adding 87 camp-
sites, comfort stations, and boat launch
ramp for access to the Trent River System.
Regular fees apply.
Bronte Creek Provincial Park, at the Queen
Elizabeth Way and Highway 25, midway be-
tween Toronto and Hamilton, will be open
without charge this year for day-use and
picnicking. Among its special features are a
children's farm and nature hikes.
Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park, near
Dorion on Highway 27 about 35 miles east
of Thunder Bay, provides walking trails
along the canyon's edge to give visitors a
spectacular view of the "Grand Canyon of
Ontario." No admission charge.
Additional campsites are under construc-
tion at several existing provincial parks —
Algonquin, Bon Echo, Killbear, Fairbank,
Remi Lake and Ivanhoe.

Ontario provincial parks or campsites, or a

mugs, hasti notes and other
souvenirs. The display of han-
diwork and other items from the
Strathroy Portuguese community
was beautiful.

on the way home made a brief
stop at the Downham Nursery
where several members made
small and, some not so small,
purchases.

Social convener , Muriel

for Bibles
The date of the annual Bible

adults will take part this year and
the seniors of the community are
invited to share in a shorter walk.

overflowing Thursday evening
for the annual penny sale,
sponsored by the arts & crafts
classes, under the leadership of
Mrs. Fred Grimminck, members
of the staff and parent volun-
teers. The hundreds of articles
drawn for raised just under
$1,300.00 which will be used for

most popular spots.

whether or not she beat the
existing record of 28.6 as the stop-
watch was either non-existent,for
her lane or failed. However the
runner, second behind Anne, was
clocked in 31.02. Her coach was of
