For-ester - Editor and Manager Subscription payable in advance *P,.blishedl every Thuriday at tha office of publicatias A Job BeingWell Done The Orono Park Board hjve éomnpleted anotherproject at the Or'ono Park and in doing s0 have added a further attraction for those using the Park durin~g the summner months. The project is the con- struction of a Wading Pool wber-ie young non-swimmers may splash around to their bearts content. During the past two years the Board lias added a inumber of -ew features w1hich hias placed the Orono Park among the best in the area. The add.tion o)f the swimming pool along with some fifty new pierti tables and the new wading pool is certain'ly a credit to the Board and bas increased the asset that tiis area ie to the Villag-e of Orono. The five- Board memiiers along with the two tiembers f rom the TownsWp*i of Clar-ke Coi-ncil have set-up and followed a most pro- grsieand rejurvinated progtam wbl-ich they sbouid certainly be (ommended for. The appearince of the Park lias also been on the- upswing to a point that thLs year the neatness and cleanliness bas )iever been better. In initiating ths program à f improvemients the Board hias pas- sbl1y spent wefl over $,,15,000.00O which witb the exception'0f $2,000.00, -cr there about, lias been pa'd. This in itself shows up the eniergetio 'prgramn that lias been cofnpleted at the Park. In adCtlng these further services the Park bas become a more desirous locality for picnics and Sunday visits sa'd thus revenue bas incireased considerabîy. Not so many years ago it was the feeling that the park should be open and free to everyone to use. This day ibas passed and a fee for Sunday picnicking, group picnicý ,an(ï 3vn .ning hias now put the Orono Park in a position of being a paying proýpoSition as well as being a great asset to the Village and the On attending the Board meeting at their last meeting it is quite napparent that this Board is flot finished with its program 0 f work and e fintending to further the usefulness of tbe Park for those using it. It would appear fromi the outcome of the action taken by the OCrono Park Poard that those organizations that are active and keep apace with the timies are the organizations thiat will meet wvith success fnd leave a mark in their commrurrity. The appointed Park Board are: A. E. West, chairman; Miss AiaCuttell, secr-etary; S. B. Rutherford, H. M. Mercer, E. H. Sami- nÙ-ý, and two council representatîves, Reeve JE.
