Well Mom and Dad. its SOMMer tittle

been waiting for the holidays erne. last fall.
but by the end of next week lte'llG be bored

In an attempt to keep, the sweet darlings
out of Moms hair for at least a little while..
here's a few suggestions about,'how to get
them out of the house and;: into' some
interesting activities,.
Starting off' the list is the ever -popular
Lion's ,Park,: The main attraction is,

pool is now even. more enjoyable than ever,

Jobnny will make some friends nod: you

Cycling is a good way for the kid to have
fun. as long as his sight-seeing tours are
within a MileOr SO of town. 1t"s also good
exercise for him. but don't tell him that or
he's sure to refuse. Most kids around here
have their own bikes, quite often •rive o*

he will lend.
Seaforth has rnany different organized'
teams for all ages. Soccer teams; baseball

;Johnny is interested, seenf you can get ;him
on one. But only: if HE is interested.
Recreation'; Director Clive Buist has done
a lot ofvvork on organizing many events for
Seaforth youth this summer, and he could'
give you a list of happenings that would
interest little Johnny, or little Sally: Clive's
office is located in the arena, and his phone
number is 52'-0882.
One point to remember above all else:
spend some time with Johnny and Sally.

After that, you'll probably have to travel to,
the beach, or the drive-in to see them: at all..
As for now, try to keep them occupied
having fun. In Seaforth, that shouldn't be
all that hard to do. .
