The park is one of three planned by a United States company for Ontario. It will be between the village and the Pinery Provincial Park, accord- ing to Donald Wiggins, an official of Jellystone Parks Ltd., of Wisconsin. The firm plans parks in Sault Ste. Marie and Dryden as well. Mr. Wiggins said the park will cost about $500, 000. It will eventually provide 1, 500 campsites. Grand Bend Reeve Robert Sharen said Monday he has little information about the proposed park, but said he understands it will take 177 acres and that the amusement area will be called Yogi Bear Park. Bruce Scott, reeve of Bos- anquet Township, said he has heard of plans for the park but has no details. He had no idea when work would begin on the project. Mr. Wiggins, manager of Jellystone's engineering and planning department, was quot- ed in the Hamilton Spectator Monday as saying similar parks are planned for other Canadian centres, and that two are al- ready under construction in Winnipeg,. The Spectator says the Yogi Bear amusement area will include comic rides and other attractions featuring well-known cartoon characters. About 200 of the campsites are planned for the amusement section. 0 Grand Berg Sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Mrs. Elgin Webb who passed away on Sat- urday. She was pre -deceased by her husband in 1972. Mrs. Webb was born in Greenway and taught 25 years in district schools. She was active in the United Church Women's group and Golden Age Club, and the Women's Institute, Memorial Funds are to go to the Grand Bend United Church. At the Open Air Service, Mrs. Howard Ferguson was guest contralto soloist, formerly soloist of the Metropolitan United Church. Major Robert D. McKerracher of the Salvat- ion Army preached the outdoor service. Mrs, Evelyn (Desjard- ine) Krueger, former Grand Bend girl, is to be next Sunday's speaker, Mrs. Gloria (Adams) Martin is the guest soloist. Good attendance and fine weath- er have favored the services this year. Last Wednesday's Bazaar and Bake Sale held in the United Church basement was a success- ful venture. Added interest was shown by visitors to the fish pond white elephant table, and home crafts exhibit. Mrs. Ed Gill offered her ceramics for sale also. Mr. Jack Mennell is home from South Huron Hospital in Exeter. PAPER DISPOSAL Consumers' Association of Canada reminds users that conv- enience paper products can impede septic tank operation.
