NOTICE TO PARENTS
It has some to my notice that a good deal of
destruction has taken place recently in Community Parr�{{.
e.g. breaking of windows and window frames in ticket office;.
. and destruction of fountain placed' there .by the children of
the town Last year.
In addition, in the new Wartime houses, south or
the CNR tracks, some 25 panes of glass have been delib;
erately broken,
This practice must be stopped at once;'
Personally, I would hate to see any action taken
against any persons believed to be guilty of such an offence,
Therefore, I appeal to the parents tocheck with'
their children who frequent the Park or " the 'vicinity of
the Wartime houses:
