Icy waters made that quite impossible. And so the activities of the 35 or 40 young pupils who gathered at Dan Wilson's Beach - west of town were confined to the land. They 'listened to a safety talk by Instructress Joan Coppin of Tor- onto, who is in charge of the course. Assisting her are Walter Allan, Philip Crompton, Karen Peck and Barbara Campbell. David Patrick is in charge of reg-|S istrations. Until the frigidity of Lake On- tario diminishes there can be no practical instruction, but classes will be held each day, when safety talks will be given. No children from the day camp will De taken to the beach until the water gets warm enough for swimming. ~ Will Syphon Tubs Mr. Cleaver told council that arrangements were being made to siphon water from laundry tubs in new houses into the septic tanks. Laundry tub water from Iouses already built has been discharged through = the storm sewer into the creek, and the township has demanded that this be stopped. A joint meeting of town and township councils was held fo discuss a solution, but one has not yet been worked out. Claim Odor, Offensive io Councillor Cumberland told Mr. Cleaver he had inspected the outlet of the storm sewer, and that it was emitting an offensive odor. "You're not telling the shot back Mr. Cleaver. "I can't imagine Councillor Cumberland 'making that state- ment if it were not true," put in Deputy-Reeve Wickson.

It might be feasible to build a sewage treatment plant in the ide of the creek bank, he thought. Mr. Cleaver asked the council to instruct Mr. Power to prepare a report on the project, adding that his firm would pay the expense. "We are most an-| xious to have the matter solved," he said.

The occasion was the sixth annual picnic of the Westside Community Club, known to everyone as "Ollie Buck's picnic." It went over with a big bang, as it always does. The kids--and their elders, many of whom ac- companied them--enjoyed every minute of the fun-packed after- noon, returning 'home tired but satisfied. Early in the afternoon the youngsters gathered at Westwood school "and - piled "into cars and trucks kindly - loaned by local citizens and firms. There was a chartered bus for the littlest children and their mothers. Head- ed by an escort from the local detachment of the Provincial Police, the cavalcade drove off to Erindale, on the Dundas highway. At Miles Park, scene of the pic- nic, the big crowd had a fine time. The youngsters enjoyed themselves in various ways, and there was a big program of races with excellent prizes donated by local firms. Then the crowd had supper, with plenty of cake, cook- ies, ice cream, milk and pop being provided free. A huge dec- orated cake baked by Rapp's bakery aroused much admira- tion. = Winners of first prizes in the events were as follows: Diane Smith, Billy Hood, Sandra Sten- nett, Leslie Wark, Helen Bridg- man, Robert Wark, Frances Er- bon, Ross Wark, Sheila Bridg- man, Edger Shunk, Joan Adam- son, Walker Bridgman, Dorothy Lockett, Roy Bastien, Rose Mary Hegan, Eddy Austin, June Ad- ams, Catherine Jeffries, Perry Hawkes, Joan Anderson.
