It was the intention of our town planners that adequate play areas be established to keep our young- sters off the streets. But play areas are not much use without some equipment. It is already planned to erect back stops for ball diamonds, but what of the smaller children There is not one piece of play- ground equipment in Ajax except what some thoughtful parents have erected in their own back-yards. It is known that the Kinsmen Club of Ajax are keenly interest- ed in making a start on providing permanent equipment such as swings, slides, teeter-totters, etc. Municipal aid could be enlisted to support a tri partite arrange- ment wherein a neighborhood as- sociation and a service club would undertake to provide the neces- sary equipment. Such a scheme, put into effect, would ensure that the equipment would receive proper treatment. Th neighborhood, association could provide a measure of super- vision and the municipality main- tenance of grounds and keep the equipment in top condition. The cost shared between the three parties would not place any burden financially on any one group. Anyone interested in enlarging the suggestion made, can contact John Mills, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Trustees at 36 Glyn Av- enye, Ajax.

BOWMANVILLE AND DISTRICT Representative--Donald Hendry, 113 King St. E., Phone 881 ' THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, May 7, 1953 § AJAX PERSONALS Editor Tells of BOWMANVILLE -- A graphic description of the beauties of the French Riviera and of the historic places of Paris, and a recital of |impressions gained in contacts with newspaper editors of 52 coun- tries, were given to the Jack and Jill Club of Trinity United Church on Tuesday evening by M.. Mc- Intyre Hood, managing editor of The Times - Gazette. Mr. Hood had just returned from a flying trip to France, where he attended an international congress of edi- tors, and his address was one of timely interest. After carrying his audience with him on his flight from Montreal to Paris, and on a tour of Nice, Hood spoke of his contacts with newspaper editors, and the discus- sions at the conference he attend- ed. He was tremendously impress- ed, he said, by the emphasis plac- ed on the necessity of maintaining the freedom of the press, which was regarded in Europe as being essential to personal freedom. There were few countries in Eu- rope and South America, he had found, which enjoyed the same freedom of the press as did Can- ada and other English - speaking Trip To The French Riviera countries. Governments used vari- ous methods to keep their news- papers under control, even to the extent of withholding newsprint supplies from them. There was, said Mr. Hood, a definite fear mentality in Europe, with the people, recalling the two great wars of 1914-1918 and 1939- 1945, looking with freely - express- ed dread to the possibilities of an outbreak of Russian aggression. The emphasis placed by editors on promoting goodwill and under- standing between nations and de- veloping friendships through an in- terchange of visits was very pro- nounced. v Entertainment for the meeting was provided by four-year-old Billy Wade, of Courtice, who, with his mother at the piano, gave a mas- terly exhibition of handling the drums and traps. His skill was re- markable for a boy of his age. A sextette from the Jack and Jill show '""Corn'z a Poppin' sang two delightful numbers, In, the business period, Treasur- |er Stan McMurter reported a net | profit of just over $1,000 realized through the '"Corn'z 'a Poppin" show, an announcement which was d received with loud applause. Industrial League Winds Up Season The Ajax Industrial Bowling As- sociation wound up its 1952-53 sea- son last week at Brock's Rotary wl, On Wednesday night the follow- ing teams played a five game ser- ies for the "Huxter" trophy (don- ated by S8am Huxter -- Huxter's Hardware) -- Rotarians, Hudson's Bay, IGA and Dowty.

Second place was taken by the Rotarians, with Dowty finishing in third place and IGA fourth. Worthy of note was the 326 game rolled by our Fire Chief, Cec. Winter whose seven consecutive strikes, in the fifth game proved a fitting climax to a successful sea- on. On the following night a con- solation series resulted in a win for "The Boys' team with Sweet- man's Transport, Huxter's and Kinmen and Legion team finih- ing in that order.
