Enthusiasm for Grand Bend's swimming program has grown to the point where several in- Wrested people agreed to act as a committee responsible for future swimming instruction in the village. That concensus was reached at a meeting on Thursday, which had been called by Pauline Lingard, who is swim program co-ordinator for the recreation committee. Questionnaires had been sent out earlier in the fall and enough positive responses were received to proceed with the organization, The program has increased in enrolment from 85 to 200 in just two seasons and is rather unique in that instruction is provided in the lake as well as swimming pools. Jack and Joan Eagleson and Pete and Carol Deitz have provided their private pools for instructional purposes in the past two years.

Chamber gives support to Lions arena idea The Grand Bend Chamber 'of Commerce approved in principle a Lions club proposal to obtain a site for long-range recreation facilities, but they wish to see some long range plans on the developments going on within Pinery Provincial Park first to avoid duplication of facilities, Southcott said the principal at the public school is keen for ex- pansions to provide additional gymnasium and banquet hall facilities which could be used by the entire community. There is also a ball diamond at the public school and this should be con- sidered before duplications of facilities are made. Mr. Nelder agreed with Mr. Southcott but added the Lions did not feel the public school grounds were large enough to facilitate a long range recreation complex. Officers of the Pinery Park detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police investigated only one motor vehicle accident this week, Saturday, November 6 Con- stable G. W. Clark estimated damages at $6,200 at the scene of a mishap at the intersection of Highways 21 and 82. Involved in the collision were vehicles driven by Henry Prosezk, Kitchener and Alexander Sparenberg, RR 2 Grand Bend. The Prosezk vehicle continued on to hit a house and was totally demolished. Prosezk and a passenger Warren Thompson, also of Kit- chener were taken to Strathroy Hospital by Gilpin's Ambulance and treated for minor injuries.

CASELOTS The Lions club is presently trying to obtain some 28 acres of Provincial land a mile arid a half south of Grand Bend on which to develop a complex according to Dave Nelder, a representative of the Lions club. Mr. Nelder went‘ on to say the Lions had in mind curling facilities, hockey rink, ball diamond, football field, play facilities for children, picnic areas, swimming pool and in- formation centre. The Lions would love to be able to have these facilities within Grand Bend but there just isn't the room according to Mr. Nelder. They feel a site with the long range potential to meet all requirements"' ,of the area is' necessary. Don Southcott, first vice- president of the Chamber, said he would like to see some sort of master plan of the Pinery to ensure 'there would be no duplication of facilities, He added a recreation committee should undertake an inventory of existing facilties for sports and recreation also taking into consideration the future of these facilities. For example, Mr. Expect PUC spots open at GB, Henson AMILY SALE" NOVEMBER 8 - 13, 1976 The Grand Bend Santa Claus parade will be Saturday, • December 4 at 2 pen. Dennis Mathers, a member of the parade committee says they are ex- pecting 30 or 40 floats-this year but so far plans for a band h,ave been met with failure. The route will have to be changed this year. In other years the parade ended at the Legion, but this causes too big a clutter around the lfireball, Several alternate routes are being con- sidered by the committee. The prizes will be the same as last and a motion was passed to allow the parade committee a budget of $500 for prizes and candy. The Chamber is also planning to sponsor a Christmas give- away program over the next few weeks. Prizes will be purchased by the Chamber and put on display in the window of one of the downtown stores. Anyone wishing to donate prizes would be free to do so with tickets for the draw being free with any pur- chase made in town, The draw would be made around Christ- mas.
