Zurich Citizens News, 1975-06-12, Page 15PAGE 16 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1975 MILVENA ERICKSON TELLS YOU... ALL ABOUT BAYFIELD INTERESTING HAPPENINGS IN ONTARIO'S PRETTIEST 'VILLAGE A most distressing phone call reached our ears from a lady at R,R,3, Clinton a week ago Monday. Apparently one of the young people on the Walk-A- Thon had taken the mail from her mailboz, torn it up and strewn it along in the ditch. Why do these sort of things happen? A group of young people got together and walked for a good cause; the walkers (32) in all, earned over $600 to aid the Ken Brandon family; a tremendous effort on the part of these young people who should be highly commended for their efforts and consideration of someone in trouble. It seems that one of these young people had to spoil the good intentions of a whole group; and besides being a malicious act, it is believed to be an off- ence to tamper with someone else's personal mail. Perhaps the culprit will read this (although it is doubtful) and realize it only takes one person to spoil the good intentions of a whole group, We wonder what "enjoyment" is derived from an act such as this?" RUMMAGE SALE It's that time of year again, when the Pioneer Park Associat- ion are sendingout a call to everyone to save their rummage, for their Annual Pioneer Park Rummage Sale. Mrs. Olive May and Mrs. Laudenbach are this year's convenors.

G.L, Smith is available at 565-2404 if you would like to call him regarding pick-up of articles. The funds raised from this once a year effort are to keep Pioneer Park a beauty and restful spot, where you can sit, look our over Lake Huron, watch the boats go gliding by or the sun go down. The Park is there for everyone's enjoyment; and best of all there is no charge. ANGLICANS MEET Trinity Anglican Church Board of Management met Tuesday evening in the Parish Hall and gave authorization to Harry Baker G.L. Morgan Smith, Mrs. Philip Du Boulay and the Rector, Rev.
