of The Herald May offer through your newspaper a collective paton the back and a thank you to those cubs and their leaders who are out every Saturday picking up Utter along the fence of the Dominion Seed House property Their efforts have indeed improved the appearance of the highway corridor As long as visitors keep their eyes on the Seed House property they may not notice the garbage on the other side of the road fast food outlets My letter was forwarded to ihe town engineer but no action was taken I have enough faith in people to believe they would use garbage containers if Ihcy were provided Right now they have no option but to deposit their empty bottles boxes etc on the lawns boulevards and parking lots which you must agree docs nothing to enhance the appearance of the town In the meantime cubs and leaders keep up the good work It is appreciated Sincerely Margaret Wilcox Georgetown Fairy stories do come true and counting GLT To the Editor The Herald Fairy stones do come

attended a seniors picnic at that park She and many wen very dissatisfied for the following reasons 1 the were not si tun ted near the picnic areas Therefore many became very tired making net trips to and from the washrooms 2 there not an area where the round was relatively even Therefore some were frightened that they would trip while walking there was transportation around the park wagons pull by
