Hello Homemakers! Our strawber-
ries should ripen quickly this season.
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.

Do You Want Organized
Recreation in Wingham?
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.

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.
