The highlight of the week came Thursday when many infamous pirates enjoyed a morning of treasure hunts and pirateering. Tuesdays roller skating was, if not good exercise an experience for all. The older children are working very hard to perfect their baseball skills, as we will be playing several tourn- aments with our Prince Albert Playground rivals. Our playground now has a new name, the Port Perry Panthers, thanks to our name contest winner Clair Cornish. To go with the new name we have a playground flag. The winning artist (with a little help) was Aron Christy. Congratulations boys! Fittingly we wrapped the week up Friday afternoon at Birdseye with a well deserved swim. Next Thursday, July 16th, at 1:00 p.m. we will have a car wash. All business will be greatly appreciated. See you thén!

Blackstock Playground by Jodi Timgren Hi! Welcome to a fun- filled summer at playground. Last week was food week. The children enjoyed cooking and baking but most of all eating foods they had done themselves. A trip to Mother's Pizza Parlour and Spaghetti House was a "huge" success. We had a barbecue and penny carnival on Friday and the children really enjoyed that. This week is holiday week. Each day is a different holiday; Valentines Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas. Thanksgiving day is Wednes- day, and on this day we will be having a bake sale to raise money for a trip to the zoo next week which by the way is Animal week. See you at the bake sale. I would personally like to thank the mothers who drove to Mother's on Thursday, July 9th. Have a nice summer.

It landed right here, inside the line. Are you blind and incompetent at the same time? Do you want to see me kick my five iron through the club house window? Do you want to see me do it, you fool?" Golf would never be the same. The fans would flock to the tournaments just to boo McEnroe. There wouldn't be any polite applause when he stabbed a two foot putt past the hole or shanked a nine iron into a sand trap. Mark my words, some golf pro is going to tear a page from McEnroe's book of behaviour and turn that sport on its ear, just as he has in tennis. Decorum, tradition, rules of behaviour, sportsmanship? These words are as obsolete in today's world of sport as amateurs on the Russian Olympic team. If baseball players can go on strike and shut down play for three weeks at least, nothing is sacred any more, least of all tradition. In a way it is kind of sad that pro sport is not as simple as it once was. I'm sure long time tennis fans felt a sense of los watching McEnroe carry on as he did at Wimbledon. Just as the true baseball fan feels a sense of something lost by the players strike. The world is changing faster than anyone can keep track. What was a sure thing yesterday is obsolete today. Time honoured values are slipping away, forever. If anyone is interested, today, July 15th is the 196 day of the year. There are 169 more to come in 1981, and 163 days left until Christmas. remember 'Ws. when ...¢ (From page 5) Division of the Department of Highways.
