Hicks Durham District President Concerned (From page 5) only one pool there will be much overcrowding as Birdseye is filled to capacity now. - To use the lake beach would require a life-guard morning till dark. There are also no washroom facilities at the beach opén to the public during the week. Are the merchants prépared to have children in swimming attire in and around the stores and on the streets. We feel the children will be "hanging around' the streets and the store fronts if suitable facilities for them to play are not made available. Our main concern is what will our youth be doing during their eleven weeks of summer vacation. Do you hayé alternatives? How any years will the property tied up? How much will it cost the municipality in the future when the facilities are given back to the township? would it not be more feasible to bring it up to the standards' now? Is there anything more worthwhile than investing in today's youth? We feel our council should consider this matter more seriously before dropping the issue. We are forwarding copies of this letter to our ~Ward Area Councillor and the owners of the property, Paramount Development Corporation.

Mr. Balmforth, who works for a Toronto glass company, learned stained glass art work about five years ago from a master in the company's design division. In his spare time, he does stained glass Tiffany lamps, window hangings and custom windows, working out of his retail shop in Greenbank. Mr. Balmforth estimates that the cost of materials to' restore the windows in the community hall will be about $400. . He says that if labour time was charged to the committee, the restoration costs would be close to $1000. ot Pid REY Craftsman Mike Balmforth is donating his time to restore the lead stained glass windows. at the Green- bank Community Hall. He expects to have the work completed in the next couple of weeks. Damage to several of the windows has been extensive over the years, and one of the problems for Mr. Baimforth has been fo find stained glass which matches the damaged panels.
