Thanks Dear Sir, I am writing to inform your readers that Grand Bend and Southcott Pines, will be having swimming lessons. Since your last edition of the Exeter Times- Advocate in which we stated that Grand Bend would not be having swimming lessons, we have had a change in staff. Now with two qualified Red Cross and Royal Life Saving Society instructors, we are able to handle a swim- ming program. Registrations will be held Friday, July 11 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and Saturday July 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the municipal office, on the main street beside the OPP station. All levels from "learn-to-swim" to Bronze Medallion will be taught. Because Grand Bend is a resort area and consequently many people may be here for only a few weeks, registration will be by week excepting for all levels above Junior Red Cross. Those classes require a con- secutive two week registration. The price of the lessons is $4,00 per week for five lessons. Classes will be taught at the south beach. Be sure you give your children an opportunity to learn to swim. Don't be disappointed, register today! Thank you for your interest Deb Wooden and John Goddard Object to rec levy Replying to a questionnaire 78.5 percent of Tuckersmith township property owners said they were not in favour of an added levy on their taxes for recreation purposes. Of the 991 questionnaires sent out to all property owners in the township 55 percent were returned. The problem on recreation in the township arose when in April council refused a request from Seaforth for a donation of $2,300 towards the cost of capital im- provements at the Seaforth arena, The three other townships Hullett, McKillop arid Hibbert paid their donations. In return the town of Seaforth has levied a $15 per person charge on Tuckersmith residents who use their arena for organized sports. Clerk James McIntosh, in making the announcement of the count, said: "This agrees with the sampling of verbal discussion members of council said they had With ratepayers." also to the farmers along the concession roads who gave drinks to thirsty children.
