AILSA CRAIG
Every mother is well
familiar with the' question,
"Mom, what can I -do?" For
families in ,the Ailsa Craig
area this should not be such a
problem for the next two
weeks as the children have
opportunity to attend the

summer playground being
operated at the Ailsa Craig
ball park.
The playground is a Young
Canada Works Project,
organized and funded by the
Employment Development
Branch of Employment and
Immigration Canada, and
•supervised by Lorraine
Stead of. R.R. 5, London.
For the past several years
Lorraine Stead has been
involved in summer
playgrounds and has been
project sponsor for the local
playgrounds this year and
last. "This year we're doing
only threeareas as opposed to
six last year," she outlined
"and running them for two
weeks rather than just one."
This seemed to be a better
schedule allowing the
leaders to become better
acquainted with the children
and broaden the children's
learning through field trips.
The children's day begins
at 10 a.m. and continues
through to 3:30 p.m., and
includes children from the
age of 4 to . 12 years.
Activities include crafts,
games, sport,, films,
creative drama, music and
special events. Thursday,
August 16 the entire group
will visit Longwoods Con-
servation Area and the
kids...and local moms
theme of the day will centre
around the Indian culture.
Another day the older
children will visit the London
City Hall, enjoy their lunch
in Victoria Park and have a
tour of McDonalds
restaurant. The younger
children have a trip
scheduled to Storybrook
Gardens at another time.
The children are super-
vised by three leaders in
addition to Lorraine, in-
cluding Melinda Harmer of
Parkhill, Joseph Lynch of
Parkhill and Mary Gough of
London Township. The
pxground had its first
session in Mt. Brydges this
summer before coming to
Nairn the last two weeks in
July, and finally to Ailsa
Craig for two weeks in
August.
"Our enrollment so far is
68 children," reported
Lorraine "but we generally
get more children involved
throughout the weeks."
"We've also been ex-
tremely pleased with .the.
community support" she
continued. "The Mothers
Take A Break group donated
$l0 to the programme along
with cars and drivers to
transport the children on a
couple of trips, and the
Legion Women's Auxiliary
gave us $50. The -village of
Ailsa Craig also has
promised to cover the cost of
a bus to take the children to
Long woods . "
The only cost to the
children or families is a
small registration fee of fifty
cents per child to cover the
cost of a party which will
include hot dogs, cookies and
lemonade on the final day of
the two week session.
