S.P.A.R.K. youngsters will be going to Exeter to see the movie the "Jungle Book" on July 25.

Both playgrounds will be going swimming and bowling once per week. The playground leaders ask that any parents who could drive to some of these events please let the leaders know they are available. Thank you. Anyone still interested in signing their youngsters up for either S.P.A.R.K. or Dashwood can do so at the playground. Both playgrounds run weekdays Stephen programs are nowunderway Exeter wants two levies only Despite their periodic complaints about rising education costs, Exeter council this week failed to It's wrong way to go The viability of local rail service is currently being studied by the provincial government and members of Exeter council are of the opinion it would be a case of poor planning to abandon the trackage which serves Exeter and other neigh- boring communities, Monday night, they decided to ask the local planning board to consider the current study of area rail service and to provide some input on the situation. Councillor Jay Campbell termed as "poor planning" any suggestion to abandon rail service in the area. He predicted that in the future this may prove to be once again the most economical way to transport goods and people. Councillor Ted Wright concurred with that thought, saying the elimination of rail lines was "not the way to be going" in view of the dwindling energy supplies.

This should, not be taken as a letter of complaint but rather as an opinion. Some very energetic ser- vice clubs in our town went to considerable amount of time, labour and I'm sure some expense to make Vic- toria. Park a place•for small children to fully enjoy being small children. They installed a very im- pressive creative play ground that the town as a whole should be proud of. Namely the park in ques- tion is Victoria Park and. I believe that it should be maintained to its utmost appeal, even if it is an ex- pense to be borne by the town. I visit the park almost every day in the fall, spring and summer and it is unfor- tunate that the bigger children who use the facility cannot realize the disap- pointment to the smaller ones when the attractions are deliberately destroyed. If the parents of these° older children would make them aware that the park is there for their enjoyment and used to play in and not a place to upset picnic tables, break sand boxes and terrorize the small children and use foul language also drive their motorcycles and generally raise havoc. I think this problem would be eliminated or at least reduc- ed. It is the parents of this community who must take charge and bring our children in line or we will soon reduce our parks, so that they cannot be enjoyed.

The officers worked 38 hours of overtime, representing a slight decline in that figure. Prantomminister at Oberammergau Sunday, June 29,, was the By MRS. E, SUMMERS GRANTON United Church anniversary.

The board had advised municipalities, through a letter to county council, that by receiving the levies in quarterly payments as provided by law, the interest payment by' the board would be reduced by $70,487. This would result in a net saving to the taxpayers in Huron of $48,465 and the balance would be shaved from the provincial grant. Councillor .Jay Campbell led the opposition to in- creasing the number of payments. He said the board was experiencing a cash flow problem similar to most businesses, but argued that regardless of how often the levies would be collected, the board would still be short funds.
