BOWMANVILLE'S PARK 1 enjoyed Elsie Lunney's "Current and Confidential" col- umn last week where she gave her thoughts on the vacant land down behind the Arena which she cor.siders would make an ideal town park. This 1 thoroughlv encorse and it has no doubt beer thought of by a lot of people and in some cases I believe it bas gone beyond the thinking stage and somne concrete work has bern cione on the planning. It might be worthwhile to stir tip a few of these embers anc see just why the fire stoppec where it did. It would be a big job but if each organization in town were given one specifie job to, do il shouldn't cost any oe organ- Izàtion toa much money and it would be something which would bring ail the organiza- tions into one town activity which is expressly what they were organized for in the first place, to help in their own way people in the town. We woulc like to hear fromn anyona whc bas any ideas on the subject or who lias delved into the idea more than is ganerally known. PEE WEE HOCKEY Plans are well underway for the Bowmanville Pea Wee Town Hockey League which is due to start Oct. 17.
