A grant of $5,280 from the Young i^Annr1 Wc_ k P c,g taitl has enabled the board to hire Murray Newman of Harriston, Debbie Montgomery of Wroxeter and Kelly Jones of Wingham. Part of the grant, $1,000, is to be used for building bleachers, pic- nic tables and for general im- provement of the park area: George Hamilton, a board member, says the park carries liability insurance. Children from the ages of four to 12 are encouraged to join in the park recreation, but others are just as welcome. There are slides, swings and,a merry-go-round for the children and Murray says the three super- visors have many things planned for them. Registration is not re- quired. On rainy days, the chil- dren are invited to the Wroxeter Community Hall where cutouts, crayons, coloring books and games will be available. Children from outside of Wroxeter are welcome' also. The afternoon recreation will take place from 1 p.m. until 4:30 p.m., five days a week. In the mornings the students are busy cleaning the park, building picnic tables and painting. They also weed the area and cut the grass. Area parents are urged to send their children to the park as Mr. Hamilton says they hope to "step up" the program to prove the grant is needed and valuable to the park and area residents. R. W.

First we went to the fire hall and saw how much water a fire truck could hold. We saw a breathing thing that helped clear the blood stream. Then Mr. D. Crothers, the chief we were with pulled out a funny thing and said, "We put foam into it. Then it will smother the fire." Then we went and looked at a truck called the king. We saw the fire suits, hats and boots. Then we saw old fashioned things. We saw a spot where a fire had started but they got the fire out. We saw an old fashioned fire truck and the chief started it up and turned on the siren. It was made in 1937. Then we went up into the attic and saw pictures and the Qbeen's picture. Mr. D. Crothers told us that they had school up here just like we do, Sometimes they were trying to figure out what went wrong. They even had a coffee maker. Then the chief gave us a book- let and . the title was Plan to Escape. We went down stairs onto the bus. Mr. Stewart Steiss was the name of our bus driver. We sang a song called 10 Bottles of Beer on the Wall. We went to the Police Station. We couldn't go into the house -because they were too busy. A man came out in uni- form and opened the back door and I saw , a radar. Then he showed us how to turn on the lights, siren, CB and this thing that told him if somebody was ,speeding. Then finally we went to the hos- pital and went through all the rooms. We came to the kitchen and the person who was in there gaye each one of us a cookie. When we had gone from there we. came to a room where you could get, wax on your fingers. When we went out the"back door, we had to wait for the other groups. When they were there we got onto the bus and when we did Danny Web- ster fell asleep all the way back to the school. It had, been a fun day. I'd like to say a special thanks to the Guides of the Wingham Hos- pital, the nice young policeman, Mr. Dave .Crothers and Mr. Stewart Steiss, our bus driver who helped Mrs. Mary Huether, our Grade II teacher of the .Brus- sels Public School look after us.

We went to the Fire Station and saw 4 trucks. There was a yellow one and the rest were red we saw up in the school room. In the yellow truck �, it car- ries B00 to 900 gallons of water. We saw where they dried the hoses. And we saw the sled that they use in winter. And in the old truck he turned it on and the siren on and it made a big noise and scared the wits out of us. Then we saw the yellow truck that was the biggest of all. It was the brightest yellow I ever saw. There were pictures of yellow Fire Trucks.
