Program plans and the number of participants far exceeded what was originally set as a first-year objective, Much of the credit for this must go to the staff of local young people who did an amazing piece of work and made up in enthusiasm and interest what they may have lacked in experience. With leadership training classes planned for the winter months, they are all planning to increase their knowledge of the underlying theory in this type of work and should be well equipped for another year, A great deal of credit for the success of this first sum- . mer is also due to the Parks Board of this City for their untiring efforts and wise planning on behalf of all citizens. In locating new areas for development, levelling and prepar- ing the grounds, erecting ball backstops, constructing sand boxes, installing equipment and keeping the grass cut--it has been a very busy summer for the Board and its Superin- \ tendent, Mr, E, E, Bathe. Perhaps not enough credit and appreciation have been shown the Board for this part of their work but all boys and girls and their parents will support the statement of the Director of Recreation, made at a recent community program, that "without the full and hearty co- operation of the Parks Board and its Superintendent, very little of all this program of supervised activity would have been possible". : Many other factors have contributed toward the success of the work in thig first summer. The Oshawa Branch of the Red Cross Society of Canada made the morning swim- ming instruction classes at the Rotary pools possible; the Board of Education operatod two playgrounds themselves, under the direction of Mr. H., L. Brace, and placed the re- mainipg seven areas at the disposal of the Community Recreation Association; school caretakers have shown a fine spirit of co-operation with all supervisors located on their grounds; the Oshawa Branch of the National Film Board have given generously of both their time and equip- ment to make outdoor showings of moving pictures possible and, in several communities, local recreation committees of citizens were formed to work closely with the supervisors in providing the extras and special events which were outside the regular program plans, The generous gift of equipment of the Kinsmen Club has already been mentioned in these columns, All in all it has been a very interesting and eventful summer and is a step in the right direction. It is now to be hoped that the Recreation Association will have the support of all citizens as they go forward with their plans for the Autumn and Winter months, It is a program of unselfish service that Oshawa has needed for a long time and is, we feel, in competent hands. Money invested in this type of community work will pay dividends, out of all proportion to the amounts involved, in a happier and healthier civic neighbourhood, in the easing of racial and class tensions and in a more progressive friendly environment for our young people. : The playground program has been greatly assisted by contributions of money from many individuals and business concerns without which it would not have been possible to accomplish so much, It is to be hoped that this generous support will be forthcoming in the future as this summer has shown the value of playgrounds. The surface has only been scratched. The future holds much in store in this direction in Oshawa, ) SET SPEED LINT FOR THREE ROADS Gravel On Roads Subject of Discussion By Town- ship Council In accord with recommendations from the Suburban Roads Commis« sion, East Whitby Township Couns cil passed a bylaw Tuesday night establishing a speed limit of 30 miles per hour on Simcoe Street North from the city limits to the Pifth Concession road; on the "aire port road", that is, Rossland Road from Simcoe Street to Park Road; and on the paved road between the Roman Catholic Cemetery to the Five Points, The bylaw will take effect upon approval of the Ontario Department of Highways, The council accepted the proposal of the Boundary Roads Commission that the maintenance of the bound- ary streets between the city and township be undertaken in future by the township council, under the supervision of the city engineer and township road superintendent, with the cost to be borne jointly by the two municipalities, The Oshawa city council had previously agreed to the proposition and it was decided Tuesday night to have the township solicitor draft an agreement to be presented to the city council, What To Do With Ridge Considerable discussion took place with Road Superintendent Howard Hoskin on the matter of what should be done with the ridge of earth and gravel along the edge of various of the township roads caused by cutting back the shoulders with the power grader, Reeve A. E. Grass urged that if possible it should be spread on the centre of the road, "You can't put it In the centre of the road because it's too coarse. You'll find three- inch stones in some of it," the road superintendent pointed out, advocat« ing putting it in the ditches rather than on the road, It was his opin- fon that it should be left where it is, Regarding the condition of the gravel roads, Mr, Hoskin said that while crushed stone was now being applied on the township roads this had not been the case in previous years and he declared that while there was plenty of gravel in the centre of the roads "you couldn't dig down three inches any place on the shoulders and find gravel."

Mr. Bryce, & consulting mining engineer of Tore onto, is also President of Macassa Mines Limited and Director of a number of other well known Can- adian Corporations, cide on the projects which should be undertaken during the remaine der of the year. Councillor W, E, Noble expressed the view that the most important jobs be done first, stressing that the Cordova Road drainage project was the first one promised, Road Superintendent Hoskin was instructed to proceed with this work immediately and al- 80 to consider laying a sewer from Pine Avenue to Elmgrove Avenue, A petition from residents for the erection of street lights from Sim- coe Street to the Five Points was presented to council by Seymour Brown, Councillor W, E. Noble, street lights chairman, pointed out that this matter was already under consideration and the lights would be erected as soon as materials were available, In reply to the township's com= plaint concerning the length of time traffic is sald to be held up by trains on the Park Road South crossing, a letter was received from C.N.R., headquarters pointing out that traffic was blocked by long freight trains stopped at the station for water and inspection but assure ing the council that instructions had been given to the train operators not to make the delay any longer than possible, A petition from residents of Park Road North and Gibbs Avenue for the extension of city mail delivery Why More People 'Borrow at HOUSEHOLD FINANCE It's true.
