on the weekends Acton detachment of the On larlo Provincial Police reports a very busy week of activities from August to August 10 The men Leave rope for swingers Formula for limiting the antics of rope swinging swimmers imitating Tartan Chain picnic tables to trees and leave the rope to swingers who would probably only devise some other means of locomotion to swing over Fairy Lake and splash into the water if it is removed Parks Board was on the horns of the proverbial dilemma Thursday because they did not want to encourage swimming In the lake beside the wading pool where youths piled up picnic tables and swung out over the water via rope fastened to a tree limb There were suggestions about building a diving platform at the swimming area or a raft which were tuned down because of expense and stump hazards It was decided to chain the tables which are worth apiece to the trees and leave the rope there for those who don discourage easily The Board fears the presence of stumps under the water both for swingers and divers Open swimming at wading pool Now that swimming lessons have been completed the wading pool will be open for swimming every day from one until five in the afternoon There will be an admission charge of 10 cents worked 197 hours while the cruiser was driven miles It was a very grim week In regards to traffic accidents There were Investigated and as a

The second accident which involved four cars resulted in over property damage and four charges being laid against the operator of one of the vehicles involved One of the charges was Foil to remain at the scene of an accident The third accident involved an eight yearold local girl who was struck and killed on Main Street North After striking the little girl the vehicle was then driven away and the driver failed to remain at the scene and render aid to the child or report the accident A motor vehicle believed involved in the accident has been seized and charges are pending against the driver I wilt not be adding a safety message to this report I want to leave you with the thought In mind that a child has lost her life because of one driver and the accident could have been averted with a little more care Cons Roy Wood THE FREE PRESS with citizens In extending best wishes to Mr David Frederick Street who celebrated his birthday Sunday August 16 Staff Photo ROBERT HAMILTON OPTOMETRIST
