Boy what a feast itis! ~ Received a letter this week from Allan Pollock reminding us that the Pitch In Period ends May 12. This is a community ef- fort by all of us to clean up our boulevards, our parks, our wa- ter front, places where we swim and etc. By so doing we save tax dollars and make our village take on an attractive appear- ance . The Beaver Scouts will be out Thursday, May 2 doing their share. What about you? I'had a well spent evening last Thursday night at the Head Church on the Island with the Lake Scugog Historical Associa- tion. Peggy Clark of the Dur- ham Chapter of the Canadian Organic Growers sure did know her subject. The hazards of spraying and importing plants from other countries. We all know the story of the Dutch Elm disease. The second talk was on the plans of the flower gardens around the pioneer village. Strange but true. Did you know the early pioneers never plant- ed their flower gardens against the house. They were always in beds out in the middle of the lawn or near their walkways. Check your old pictures. Sincerely trust you are feeling better now Paul Arculus. Our best regards. Joke of the Week - "So you think you have problems" a man lamented to his co-worker. I lent a guy $4,000 for plastic surgery and now I don't know what he looks like.
