Here in our own district we had another unofficial opening to the waters of Lake Huron, at St, Joseph, which should prove to be of great importance to the peo- ple, not only of the district but for many miles around, The Hay Township council has started work on making a 60 foot roadway to the lake and adequate parking at that point for use of the general public. This has been a long felt need, and is just an- other of the promotional ideas of the Zurich and District Chamber of Commerce. As everyone knows, much of the lake frontage is not available to the general public, except at a few crossroads leading to the lake and these have not been developed in any sense of the word. At St. Joseph this is being taken care of and it is the hope of the local Chamber of Commerce that work will not stop until this point along the lake is put into best possible condition it can be. There are a few things which should be done WE SPECIALIZE IN SUNDAY DINNERS 4.00 to 7.30 po DINING ROOM CLOSED EVERY TUESDAY EVENING to help make this spot the play- ground it should be. First there should be more park- ing space both to the north and south of the roadway; second, st. akes should be driven in the lake for the purpose of building up a sandy beach and lake bottom. This is a very simple operation and will make all the difference in the world to bathers or swimmers. In fact the item is a must to make conditions good. There are other things which could be done, but let us get these done first and the rest can follow. On Sunday last, the writer of this letter saw more cars parked at the lake and more people in swimming than at any time within his memory. This only goes to prove that when you give the public access to the lake, with am- ple parking space, you are doing that public a great service, and the Hay Township council should be given a very big hand for the work accomplished thus far. Why don't you take a drive to St. Joseph and look over the job done to date. You will be truly amazed at what has been and what can be done when you put your mind to it. ••eeN:$4.‘ie- 1 PHONE 70 ZURICH "You Are a Si -ranger But Once" An, THAT M KE A PRETTY SPLASEV, GIRLS SIZES 2-14 $1.59 to 50 LADIES — SIZES 14 TO 44 Kap .rirfffrgilgt PRICED FROM '.98 to S9.95 "WAVE -SAVER" B thing C. ps Only 98c BOY'S SWIM SUITS SIZES 2 TO 34 $1.59 t. $2.50 MEN'S SWIM SUITS SIZES 34 TO 44 $2.98 t. $3.25 Brief and Boxer Styles 1 EXTRA BEAcH SPECIAL!!
