'Campbell Thompson: aria' Donald C, Thompson,, Publishers WEDNESDAY, OCT: 14th, 1959 PLANNING IS INIPORTAN ' A list of : suggested.. and very worth- while projects has been ;submitted to . the Lions Club by its members. To implement even a portion of these suggestions will provide a civic improvement program that will keep . the Club active for some time .to 'come. And ,to. fulfill such ,aims,means that the Club must constantly by promot- ing: ' money, raising .ventures; . While; Club members' dip down deeplyat times to support, their civic ' and welfare work, the support ' of . the general public is essential if they are to accomplish the major under- takings that such an organization has within' its power to assume. While. Parking' facilities headed, the list of proposals made by the Club, it was encouraging to Ilea': : the opinion, expressed that- a swimming pool was riot beyond the realm of possibility:. Some day it may come This points :up the importance of a long'range a lai'ining program in ' whatever P � fr is undertaken The parking lot suggestion at the rear ' of the arena and on the. Agricultural. Soc- iety' propei`ty, would be in close proximity t0 public rest rooms. For some time we have • felt, ' and "advocated, that this .,loca- tion . could be: enhanced' by some evergreen planting, and the :placing of picnic tables:. There 'is' . an increasing demand for such, facilities by . an ever-increasing flow . oftour- ists and picnicking Motorists, Highway 86 which .is now almost entirely ,,paved is car- rying , more and more lake -bound traffic. • The point of all this 'is, could a swim-' Ming pool, if. and when 'built, be economi- cally located in ;the ark area. We don't Y r P know, possibly'* not, but that is where •a planning ,committee would come in :-° to look to: the': future. , The parking lot suggestion has advo- cates for dvo-cates'for a location near the- Legion' Hall. That involves : private property, which might or might not have its complications.: Certainly there As merit, in that location.: The ideal solution, of course, would be • a lot in both locations but , that may . be ex- • pecting a 'little. too much, for, `.while; it ,is:, sometimes easy enough to achieve these objectives the problems arise from main- tetlance supervision etc in the years that IY; z; WHO IS TO BLAME' • Under the caption "Our Persecuted Young" the Meaford Express editorializes as follows: . Canada's already overcrowded . labor " pool has been increased by one 16 -year-old. Stratford Tad who is determined not to be kicked around. This youngster has turned his .back on the Stratford Collegiate because the Board of Education would not allow him_to park. his carr in the/lot reserved for the school staff. He was also, , in company with sev eral others, chased off a too -narrow "street by ' the city council.. ' -Protests on the part' of'the pupils who, motored to. school ;resulted . in a lot being. placed at: their disposal, That's when ` the ruckus started: They. didn't want 'the lot. They wanted the spot where the teachers•. parked their 'cars. Grounds for the revolt which lost the Stratford: school ,a pupil were two: First, the new parking lot was away off yonder, back of.' beyond. It was 200: yairds from the collegiate. Second, to : get to the' classrooms from the kit, the pupils were compelled to make : a steep climbs Combination of the .long. journey from the -parking ' lot and the hillto climb at the end was' too 'much. This one . youngster, ap- parently on instructions from hisfather,., quit school rather than be subjected to such indignities. He is.'now looking for 'work ' .

'As 'such, its true observance should never: be without a :religious • aspect.; It, is generally .marked, and quite properly, • as a. time of home -coming and family ° re- union, but it is something' more than a calendar 'feast.'

Day, which, coincides roughly with the Eng - fish- Feast of .Michaelmas, gives a' further clue to . its real 'significance, 'For Michael-• mas, in Britain, is the time of year. when farms, change' ownership',, after the 'fields have yielded their treasures and the . year's 'Crops . garnered in.
