VANASTRA
thevoice
Adventureland to be
built for children
The Young Canada
Works Program spon-
sored by. the Vanastra
Recreation .Centre is
organizing baseball
teams in the township,
building Adventureland
playground equipment
for the parks, repairing
the swings and teeter
totters, organizing
various other
recreational games over
the summer period and
doing general land-
scaping around the area
and the Recreation
Centre.
The three baseball
teams are practising and
getting ready to start
their baseball schedule
next week. The pee wee
boys play on Tuesday
June 5 in Hensall at 7 pm
and the pee wee girls play
in Vanastra against
Hensall on Wednesday at
7 on June 6. The bantam
boys start on Thursday
June 7 against Hensall in
Vanastra at 7 p.m. More
boys are urgently needed
for the bantam boys
team.
There has been enough
interest in the tykes that
we are planning to start
T -ball. T -ball is for eight
year olds and under. It is
basically the same as
baseball.
Plans are being made
to construct playground
equipment for the
summer in two parks in
Vanastra, the park
behind the Recreation
Centre and the Circle
Park.
The Adventureland
playgrounds will consist
of numerous platforms
leading to various
equipment such as a
slide, tire ladder, Billy
Goat Climber, tire
climber, monkey bars,
chain ladder and a not-
ched log
Cubs and Guides active
Cubs
Last Monday was the
final cub meeting of the
year. We did some more
work on knots to refresh
the boys memories in
readiness for camp this
coming weekend.
Then we sent the boys
on .a scavenger hunt, to
find a pop, can, a.piece of
paper, a stick 2" long, a
round flat stone, a maple
leaf and a dandelion.
Most., of them remem-
bered these six things and
returned in the time
allowed.
We also ran through
our sbngs with special
emphasis on "Cub
Days", which was
written for us by Mrs.
Esther Handy. We hope
.to present this song at the
district camp this coming
weekend.
We also presented
these boys with their blue
star, Sharon Dixon,
Shannon Mellor, Colin
Thomas, Bryan Thomas,
Wayne Dunsmore,
Michael Dunsmoore,
Dwane Mclssac and
Jamie O'Rourke.
Shannon was also
awarded his toymaker
badge.
The parents are
. reminded that the boys
are not to get to the
campsite before 6:30 pm.
This will allow us to set
up our -camp before the
boys arrive.

very busy earning badges
they have all earned their
atheletes badge and their
International Year of the

Sharon's
helpful hints
Trade spare house keys
with a trusted neighbour
to prevent getting locked
out of your house.- Place
the spare in the neigh-
bour's yard under a -rack
or a good hiding spot.
If you have a swim-
ming pool, save water
and money spent on
water bills by catching
rain. Attach an elbow
connection to the
downspouts of your house
gutters. When it starts to
rain, let the dirt and dust
wash from the roof for the
first few minutes and
when the waterruns
clean, stick a length of
pipe into the elbow
connection and run the
pipe to the pool. The pool
filter will do any
necessary additional
cleaning.
The Clinton pee wee `B' hockey team this year
consisted of, front row, left to right, Bobby Ladd,

Edith Wright told the
group about the meeting
in Tara on April 28. She
said that 125 delegates
attended from 16
societies, with four
members from Clinton at
the meeting.
At, the, .meeting, Mrs:
PCickson Brown gave an
interesting talk on
medicinal plants and how
to use them. Some very

can cure better than drug
store remedies. It was
noted that next year the

It was asked if there is
