Recreation Centre For the last year quite a few residents of Haileybury have been putting the pressure on the council to build a recreation centre that would serve young and old alike. Naturally councils being economy minded people have fore- stalled the onslaught of public recreation with the argument "What makes no money -- gets no money". But at the last meeting of the council we were astounded to hear an entirely new argument brought forth. One of the councillors asked, ""Why should we bother building a re- creation centre for vandals?" "Take for example the Rotary beach in Haileybury," he said, 'this year the committee spent $500.00 fixing up the property so that the children would have a good place to play and nearly over night they undid the work that took so much time and effort by breaking in, looting and breaking what they could not carry away." Councillors failed to realize that this was done by a minority of the teenage group, probably not from Haileybury, and as councillors are not elected on a minority basis, why should the town youngsters be judged on a minority basis? Just last week one of the best illustrations was brought |. forth as an example of the good faith of the Haileybury youngsters when they turned out in droves to participate in the swim meet held at the Rotary beach; (and off the record they won it.) : During, the course of events a reporter comes across many noteworthy occurrences which by the book, never make the printer's ink, by reason of their nature. At the swim races last week we came across one of these items. . , | Ken Edgar, New Liskeard recreation director was pre- siding over the races at the Rotary beach, and: he noted that two girls, Cherrill Rouse and Mary Prentiss were showing an exceptional sportsmanship by entering every race even though they lost regularly, a situation which would discourage most children. So he made them a special award of one dollar. fterwards he said, '| just couldn't resist encouraging the youngsters when they show that kind of spunk." Delinquency A Problem | Ever so often you read or hear of vandalism at a ceme- tery, and lately the caretaker reports flowers and flowering a being stolen off the graves at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, aileybury. ' A short time ago beer bottles were being left in it and tombstones pushed over. There is a heavy penalty for this mean type of theft and destruction if the culprits are caught. Why anyone picks a place like that to damage is beyond comprehension, as a cemetery is considered more or less of a.sacred place -- not a playground. People wonder why there is so much juvenile delinquency and it mostly all points back to the parents. Some are so busy running around having themselves a good time they never bother or worry where their young fry are or what they are doing. One only needs to walk the streets of an evening and see the number of children running around who should be safe in their homes. In regards to destruction, if children are taught from infancy to respect other peoples' property and take care of things, it is only natural they will carry that on through life unless it is someone with an unbalanced mind.

Hall sent the ttax collector a $123. cheque for city, state and county taxes, but it is being re- turned as 'being improperly- drawn. Standish Thompson, tax commis- sioner, said no one in his office was willing to endorse it. The cheque was made out to "our hoggish politicians.' SHELTON, Conn. (AP) -- John Fabozzi, Sr., decided to make a one-man job of pushing his stalled car with a truck, As he figured it, the trick would be to nudge the car until it started coasting, then catch it. It didn't work that way. Fabozzi's driverless car went serenely down Tuxedo Avenue. Fabozzi was right behi™d, but los- ing ground every second. The episode ended in a yard. Be- fore it stopped rolling, the car knocked down a fence, a coach lamp and some shrubbery. PORT HOPE (CP)--Mrs. T. W. Lawson of Port Hope knew super- markets were engaging in gim- micks 'to win customers' favor, but this was ridiculous... She was emptying four bags of groceries after a visit to a super- market, When she pulled out a bag which she thought contained oranges she found more than $1,000 in rolled bills and negotiable en- dorsed cheques. Mrs. Lawson returned the mon- ey to the store, where employees were hunting high and low for the missing cash. SARANAC LAKE, N.Y.

(CP)--Slippery, the adventurous sea lion who led zoologists on an _ inter-national chase last summer, has lost his best pal. ~ Lonesome; who pined for Slip- pery during his dash down the Thames and Detroit rivers to Lake Erie, died Sunday at London's Storybook (Gardens zoo. An autopsy was inconclusive and organs have been sent to the Ontario Veterinary College at Guelph for examination. Slippery last year survived a barrage of tranquilizer guns only to end up in a net in the harbor of Toledo, Ohio. London officials have arranged for a new partner for Slippery, perhaps with a view to curbing his wanderlust. This time it will be a female. LONDON (CP) -- With a name like Rob Roy and a birthplace like Aberdeen, the little Scot who burst into British railways headquarters didn't appear unreasonable. "You owe me a free ticket home," he announced. The clerk was flabbergasted, "A free ticket? But why?" Roy, a 62-year-old with only one arm, slapped a tattered old paper down on the counter. It was a return ticket from Eus- ton to Aberdeen. Date of isSue: December 20, 1916. "I never used it," said the Scot defiantly. The clerk pointed out that the old ticket was valid only for a month. It expired on January 30, 1917. Anyway, the railway has been nationalized in the mean- time. The Scot didn't give up. "Think of the publicity you would get by giving me a free ticket." He said he emigrated to Austra- lia in 1917 without getting a fair chance to use his ticket, and he just returned two days ago. But he walked out defeated. ROSEVILLE, Calif. (AP) -- A seven-year-old boy out-knitted mothers and grandmothers 'and won a blue ribbon at the Placer County Fair. Dennis Weiler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Weiler, took up knit- ting last winter when Sierra snows drove him indoors. (So did two brothers, but they didn't like it.) Everyone but Dennis' grand- mother, Mrs. L. W. Payne, was surprised when the boy carried off a blue ribbon and a third-place white one. Grandmother had en- tered his handiwork, three sweat- ers and caps. LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- Last Wednesday Mrs. Shirley Azen of Hollywood fled from a large wave sweeping onto Crescen Bay beach.
