The local firefighters is generally considered the robust Jack who sprints to the firehali, dawns his firefighting clothing and races off to do emergency service. His work is carrîed out under ah cimatic conditions and at any tîme of the day or night. As if this is not enough his return couid well be of one of exhaustion, dirt, grime and cuts and bruises. The event of last THursday night however did dispiay the other side of the coin... .a compassionate one. The local firemnen through their efforts of a canvass, and pancake breakfasts have supported for the past ten years the Muscular Dystrophy fund. Their efforts have shown their keen interest in the possible erratication of this disease and somneday, as it has been stated, they can -share in this success. But, in the meantimne the effort and support of Muscular Dystrophy by this group over a ten year period is worthy of a measure of praise.

This pre- sentation has been brought up again before the new councîl. The camping ground, and they stressed this was NOT to be a trailer park, would be private, and limited to only 15 members, who are also mem- bers of the Preservation Sanctuary Club. The location is west of Mosport and is amongst an area of land used for Xmas Tree purpeses. There is 33 acres to be used for camping and it would be divideci into 15 lots. One lot would be used for a proposed Clubhouse. Septic tanks would be set up with one for every two lots, and they- also propose, the build a dumping station. The club has no charter for this proposai yet, because, of the delay of council's changing, but they say they can get one. The commîttee decîded to refer the matter to the planner for further re com- mendations.

The students would be bused from as far as Oshawa, and adequate space would be provided in the school's driv- eway for unloading these buses. For the students that w1LÂ walkç to school, a sidewalk or footpath must be provided for safety's sake, according to the committee.
