Mr. MacDonald said the stream which runs from Prince Albert to Lake Scu- gog is in a real mess from where it crosses Queen Street right down to the lake. At the suggestion of Mr. MacDonald, council agreed that some of a Local Inia- tives Program grant the township hopes to receive should be used to do the work. Mr. MacDonald said temp- orary work can be done immediately to help prevent the Lawn Bowling Club from being flooded, but that work on an LIP grant couldn't start until January 1. Trees will be cut down, the creek bottom will be cleaned out and the banks sloped and perhaps seeded or stoned as part of the program, Mr. MacDonald said. 4-H activites By Susan Gunter Meeting One .

Blackstock 4-H Club No. 3 Once again 4-H has started in Blackstock. This fall's project is a "World of Food in Canada." Anyone who decided not to take this course is really misEyg something. Not only are"we learning the history of our great country, but also we are learning to recognize and respect the traditional practices of various cultural groups within our country and to appreciate how our food habits are influenced by Canadians of many different backgrounds. Also, co- operation, skill and imagina- tion in preparation and serv- ing of food. Besides all this 4-H is fun! We had the first meeting on September 17th at the Recreation Centre at 4:00.

La SA lL ie ets LS The Port Perry Lawn Bowling Club had the start of a flood after only a few hours of rain last week. Big puddles began to accumulate on the greens during the rain. Club members hope the township can clean out a small stream beside the greens soon so that proper drainage can take place in the spring. Seagrave and areanews Our first item this week is an expression of our sym- pathy to Mrs. Ellesworth Kennedy whose sister Mrs. Murray Woods of Bowman- ville passed away on Friday. Perhaps the most common question heard around here last week was - "Have you heard anything about Ber- nard Standish?' Until Sun- day the answer was not really encouraging but now we can report that he is much better. We have another patient in Oshawa Hospital in the person of Mrs. Jas. Durward who was suffering from ulcer troubles and had to undergo surgery on Satur- day night. Also the community's old- est lady Mrs. Clara Sleep has been in Port Perry Hospital for nearly a week hoping to regain her strength. ° Writing of the elderly re- minds us that Mr. Isaiah Irwin is right now looking forward to celebrating 'his 95th birthday on Thursday. Congratulations and best wishes Mr. Irwin. Demonstration season seems to be with us again.
