PLAN IMPRO' MENTS AT LIONS CLUB PARK AS FUNDS !MIT Club Approves Larger Park To Include Playing Field And New Bltildings. PARK IS CROWDED Plans for an, enlarged end, improved Lions Park were presented to the meeting of the Lions Club on Mon- day evening, when the report 'of the parks committee was received. Previously approved by -the execu- tive, the plans include an enlarged park with, playing field, a ' central pavilion to house dressing rooms, etc. and a number of over -night cabins. No immediate start on the work is anticipated, but the program will be proceeded with as funds are available. The report, i• past, is as follows: "In presenting its 'estimates for the present year the Lions Park Commit- tee -wishes to review .briefly its work of the past year and to call to your attention the necessity of some con- sidered plans for the future. In 1937 your committee was authorized to ex- pend $413.20 and in , supplementary estimate this amount was increased by $250.00. In• addition to this, there was a donation of $188.75. Your treasurer's books will show that total expenditures at ihe park in 1937 were $917.98. During this year your committee re- commend the expenditure of $728.86, including new work $357.0 and main- tenance $371.86. At this time your committee would respectfully. draw to your attention the fact that some considered plan for future development and eulargeme:tt of the park and facilities should be considered. The past year saw the use of the park reach a new peak acrd with year: ly increases in attendauce, it is, in the opinion of the conrntittee, impera- tive that some scheme of enlargement be considered. Antis- feature is the fact that the Seafort;t Lions Club has approximately $8,00s invested in the park, yet there is nothing that produces revenue. With tuese facts in mind, your com- mittee recommends that the club en- dorse in principal a plan whereby the present park may be enlarged to in- clude a playing field, adequate park- ing facilities now lacking, a central pavilion to house dressing rooms, toilets, refreshment stand, ticket of- fice ai3:d stare room, and lastly, a ser- ies of over -MOM cabins. .The intent of these recommenda- tions is not to suggest any immedi- ate expenditures of moneys, but ra- ther to bring the matter to the atten- tion of the club, and if possible, to secure its approval of such a scheme in principal, to be completed if and when funds are available. If your committee has .knowledge what the future plans for the. park are it may more readily plan its immediate work to fit into what some day may be a completed whole," Earle Family Holds Reunion Picnic The Earle reunion picnic was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Leyburne in Tuckersmith on Friday, June 24th, with almost a hundred members registering.
