Don Young, designer of the playground, said in an inter-, view last Saturday that various volunteer workers have been working on the playground for the past four weekenids and he said it should be finished in two weeks. Alan Roy ini charge of contruction o f the playground said different, volunteers have been called upon each weekend in order to share the work load. Only Alan Roy and Don Young have been on the site every weekend. The idea of this project originated from the Home and School, Associa- tion of the Orono Public School. Up until now,,the children of these grades had no~ where and nothing to play with except the kindergarten area of the school. Through consultation of the school staff, the Home and School Association set up a commit- tee to deal with the funding of the project as well as such things as labour. The school held a fun fair in May which raised approximately U00.00 also Fifties Dance which rais- ed approximately $1 ,000 for the project. The estimated cost is approximately $5,000, wihich hai been met through community donations of various types. The wives of the working men have been donating the lunches and refreshments as well as tis they co-ordinated the fun- ding and information needed to get the go ahcad on the project. Don Young said, I community support has been terrifi." 'the materials, fun- ding, labour,' and refreshments, for the most part have been donated by the Orono commnunity.

Published Every Wednesday Hollday and group oppose P ossible public works move Major Rickard mounted opposition on Mionday to a General Purpose committee meeting proposai to provide parking enforcement in the Villages of Orono and Newcastle. The Mayor stated he-had difficulty in supporting a move to going outside the Town with a contract for the work which, he said, could be handled in-house. The proposaI to hire Oshawa Secturty Service Ltd. did pass and authority was given to exercise agreement with the firm on behalf of the Town. The firmn will provide ser- vice to both' Orono and Newcastle Villages on a week- ly and irregular basis at a cost of $7.50 an hour. Costs to the end of the ye ar will be within a budgeted figure of $6,000.

The miatter of parking en- forcement is to be reviewed at the end of the year and depending on findings will either be continued or cancelled for193 Counc. Hamre stated that the conicernis expressed by the Mayor had been dealt wîth in commlittee and that it was less costly for the Town to con- tract ou* the work at $7.50 an hour rather than hiring and paying their own staff.

Don Smith, administrator, confirmied Hamnre' s statemrents that it was going to be less costly contracting the work rather than hiring Town staff for the job. He also saîd Town staff had ask- ed that consideration be given by the Ifirm to hiring a local person for the job.
