The Seaforth Lions Club Annual Summer Carnival not only has provided interesting enter- • tainment amid the pleasant park surroundings, it also provides the wherewithal by which the park and pool are maintained. Probably there is no other area in the district that is used as often by district citizens as is the Lions Park. - For nearly thirty years its green lawns and pleasant river have been a magnet for people of all ages and from within a radius of more than fifteen miles from Seaforth. These people count on the Park to provide them with a place in which to hold We Don't Want Litterbugs In No matter what encouragement is offered by the provision of handy trash containers, there continue to • be those who prefer to make their • surroundings untidy. Litterbugs, it • seems, are every- where. Certainly they are present on Seaforth streets, where they de- light in tossing soft drink cups, hot dog wrappers and pop corn boxes. They are present at Victoria Park and at the Lions Park, where the expanses of grass each day are lit- tered by thoughtless people, who seemingly count the day lost in which they have not succeeded in sprinkling, debris. •Perhaps more waste containers at strategic points would help. But, on the other hand, at Lions Park where their picnics; a place where they can meet their friends, and where they can cool off on hot days; where their children may play ball—and all at no cost. Maintaining the Park and facili- ties costs money. Wages must be paid; maintenance provided for; hy- dro bills attended to. All this is de- pendent on revenue produced by the Summer Carnival. That is why the public is urged to continue the generous support that has featured past carnivals, The Lions Park has become a shin- ing symbol of summer in the Sea - forth area. Lets keep it that by our generous patronage of the Seaforth Lions Carnival on Wednesday and Friday nights, August 21 and 23. Seaforth there are many containers, the prob- lem is ahnost as great as it is at oth& locations where containers are scarce. It takes more than proper re- ceptacles to keep parks and streets clean. No matter how carefully or how often they are cleaned — and those responsible do a thorough and frequent job—there seem to be those determined to create a clutter. Some people won't walk a step out of their way to discard a wrapping. To keep public areas neat and tidy, every one must help. It's up to each of us — particularly the litterbugs among us — to realize that we only hurt ourselves if we make a mess in the areas that are ours. Let's try and see what we can do by eliminat- ing this needless mess.
