Nevertheless. as soon as the blossoms appeared on the strawberry plants the boys wanted to know when we could .serve old-fashioned shortcake,— rich biscuit dough, split and buttered and served piping hot with a generous lawer of red strawberries sandwiched in between and piled on top with a fluffy mound of whipped cream.

Organized recreation has given the citizens of the Town of Wingham: CHORAL SOCIETY CONCERT SERIES SKATING CLASSES FIRST AID CLASS SWIMMING CLASSES CAMERA CLUB BOYS' & GIRLS' BAND TENNIS CLUB BOYS' HOCKEY TEAMS DRAMA CLUB BOYS' BASEBALL TEAMS TEEN TOWN JUNIOR CHORAL SOCIETY STORY HOUR FOR CHILDREN SUMMER PLAYGROUND PROGRAM The above projects were not only started but were suspended by the Director who also acted as unpaid Arena Manager. All the above were put on at a cost to the Town of Wingham of $1600 per year. Ad= ditional costs were paid by the Ontario Department of Education through grants. For five years Wingham has had a prograni of recreation with the services of a qualified and trained Director. We have had what many other communities, large and small are now realizing is a necessity. Yet we are about to lose our program unless the people of the Town of Wingham make it 'unmistakably clear that they want to retain it. The Town Council has abruptly decided that this community cannot afford recreation and as an economy measure, has decided to cease payments of grants to Recreation. It is our strong opinion that this is poor economy. We believe there are some things that can= not be readily measured in terms of Dollars and Cents. We believe that the training and guidance our children are getting from Recreation is helping them develop into better citizens of tomorrow and that this achieve= ment is well worth every Municipal Dollar spent on it. Naturally with no grant, there can be no Director and without a Director the entire program of organized recreation will cease. No one.has the train- ing or the time to do this valuable work on a voluntary basis. Among the many things we regret to see abandoned will the popular Summer Playground Program. The attendance at this project has grown yearly and many children have learned swimming and water safety who otherwise would have no opportunity. It is our opinion that all other phases of Recreation will suffer from the loss of a competent DirectOr, in= eluding Teen=Town, the Sports training and partici= pation program, hobby and arts and craft associations' as well as drama and music. Many citizens have approached the mem= bers of the Recreation Council in the past two weeks to express their concern over the possibility of losing Recreation in this town. In order to have a larger body of opinion to be guided by, the Recreation Council at their last meeting on Thursday, May 30th, decided to conduct a poll of Kinsmen Club, Lions Club and parents of school children. It is felt that the opinion of these three groups will be very representative of the Town as a whole. The question is very simple: ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF CONTINUING AN ORGANIZED PRO= GRAM OF RECREATION SUPPORTED BY MUNI= CIPAL GRANTS OF APPROXIMATELY ONE MILL OR $1600.00. YES NO Ballots will be available at Welwood's, D. Rae & Sons and Huron Motors for any Citizen wishing to record his opinion. It's your Town — your Recre= ation program — so we urge you to express your wish on this question. HAMILTON OPTICAL CO. W. R. Hamilton, R. 0. Optometrist for Over 25 tears. Telephone 37 for Appointment. PAGE. MOW THE WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES VMINNASPAT, 4V.NE. 0th, I Without taking a vote we assume •' that strawberry shortcake is the fav- orite dessert during June. How many other scrumptious strawberry treats can you recall? Fluted pastry shells baked to a turn can be filled with the ripest of berries and topped with a wi th of whipped cream sweetened with honey. Or fruit salads with a generous addition of ripe berries and the ever popular ice cream afford a generous treat, Strawberry turnovers are popular for picnics. These are triangles of rich, flaky pastry enveloping a filling of sweetened berries blended with a little sugar and flour, baked to a turn in a very hot oven. For parties, you can't improve on meringue cases fill- ed with lemon ice cream and topped with a helping of crushed, sweetened berries and a fluff of whipped cream. Or instead of the meringue cases clip fresh marshmallows into pieces and serve in sherbets, lined with graham cracker crumbs, accompanied with thick cream.
