How much more popular sum- mer camping will get can't be forecast but Myers continues to be amazed at the investment which,entliusiasts have put into equipment. "The changes and improvements in the past five years have been phenomenal," he says. "Biggest increase in the last two years has been in `I'm getting out!' By•MRS. HAROLD DAVIS Bobby Marshall is holidaying at Camp Kee-Mo-Kee, Komoka. Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Burgin and Mr. and Mrs. Archie Levy attended the old time fiddlers contest at Shelbourne, Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Pear- son and family of Galt visited Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Geo- rge Hall. trailers and tent trailer units. There have been big improve- ments in design and materials and people are spending thous- ands of dollars on equipment. The enthusiasm is tremen- dous," A happy note about this year's season has been the absence of accident, despite the hazards of water and bush. "We haven't had a drowning or a serious injury this year," reports Myers, touching wood. "I can't even recall a broken bone this year." He does recall one hair- raising problem, however. One family, which had taken off along the beach after establishing camp, couldn't find their tent when they returned. "It was on the side of a hill, that's all the man knew, and we had the staff searching for more than two hours with him. Finally, we re- grouped at the camp office to try to think it out. While we were there, some lad identified a tent next to the one that was lost and we straightened it out." Myers laughed: "Boy, was that a frustrating experience!"

"Just three more weeks to go and it will be all over, Then we can relax a bit." Myers, superintendent atPi- nery Park, was showing the strain of coping with the record crowds which have invaded the provincial recreation facilities along Lake Huron this summer, "This has been our biggest season ever," a statement he's made almost every year, sup- ported by traffic figures. Ever since the park opened, it's at- tracted more people every year, as the popularity of camping continues to climb. "In July this year, we esti- mated about 156,000 people visited the park. That's about 3,000 cars or 12,000 people more than last year." The climax came Civic Holi- day weekend when the park ac- commodated 2,314 camping fa- milies before turning them away at the gates. The previous high bad been 2,250. Will the park expand to meet the growing d e m a n d? "No, we've reached the limit now. We're pretty well developed to the maximum," replies Myers. "The policy of the depart- ment of lands and forests is to develop only 20% of the area. We don't want to destroy the park by overuse. Grand Bend Chamber of Com- merce plans to ask the federal department of transport to in- vestigate the cause of an oil slick which bothered swimmers in Grand Bend over the week- end. "We'd like to find out where it came from and how it can be stopped," said Orval Wass- mann, president of the chamber. He said he suspected it came from lake freighters cleaning out their bilges but he could not be certain, Reports indicated the oil ap- "A lot of people," he con- tinued, "think of a park as a camping area, We look at it as an area where people can enjoy nature and see the forest in its original state. That's why we have such few concessions in the park and why there are restricted areas which will never be developed. We don't want people tramping down the green areas. The park already has ex- perienced what damage can be caused by public use. "We've had to prohibit camping in the beach area," Myers revealed. "The campers ruined that sec- tion, tearing off branches, cut- ting down trees and making a mess of everything. We could not cope with it. There wouldn't be any park left at all if we let it continue." Despite such problems, there is a growing number of people interested in the natural pheno- mena at the Pinery. One of the plans for next year Is to extend the nature program, under the direction of Mort Eddy, park naturalist. "Our nature walks and nature talks are becoming more popu- lar" says Myers. "In the am- phitheatre Where we show films and slides on nature, the crowds have been growing steadily." With the major development of the park completed, winter work at the park will consist mainly of maintenance in pre- paration for another season. But that's not a minor job. Cleaning house after entertain- ing a quarter of a million people involves considerable work. Some 60,000 trees will be planted In the park this fall in peered along the lakeshore from the Pinery to Hayfield, although Pinery park officials received no complaints. The oil sticks like a x I e grease. Swimmers found it on their feet and it blackened their bathing suits. Len Rau, who operates a booth near the pier at Grand Bend, said he used nearly a gallon of gas helping swimmers remove the oil. Rau said he personally got "all full of it" when he was catching minnows, which he sells for bait. "It's a dirty, oilish tar." The Oil has since disappear- ed. No complaints were heard Monday. "rve been boating on Lake Erie when you'd run into big islands of this barge oil," said Waasmann. "If the water is calm it will collect in big pools. The waves break it up." He said freighters line their bilges with oil to protect the metal from water which they used for ballast when the ship is empty. After loading, the ships dump the water and oil. He said some of the freight- ers loading with grain at God- erich may have caused the problem. Sup't Gar Myers at Pinery Park said he hadn't received any complaints from swimmers about the oil over the weekend.

For Your Bookshelf . . . The paths of history through Perth and Huron counties are colourful -and exciting: Courageous men like Galt -and Dunlop cleared the land and developed towns; settlers brought richness and beauty in architectural design. To honour these founders BRITISH MORTGAGE pre- sents "Paths of History in Perth and Huron" — an attractive booklet of scenic drives and pioneer remind- ers. It was drawn and recorded by John Martin, A.R.C.A„ 0.S.A., and arranged and written by Anthony Nearsley, B.A„ F.R., Met. S. Though the way of the past is gradually disappearing, some original structures still stand — an occasional log cabin, farmhouse, store or a doorway. These are drawn and described in the IIRMSH MORTGAGE book, and can easily be found by following the outlined routes, This booklet was published for you, and is free at any BRITISH MORTGAGE Office.
