On several occasions in this , eolumn I have mentioned wnthi‘ pride how nicely our park at | Giltspur Drive is shaping up and ‘ how with the wonderful playâ€" ; ground equipment the park is |, finally being put to use. . Since|, these items were printed it |, seems that our park has been‘ put to some severe test of abuse. |, Never in the worst slum condiâ€" , tions have 1 ever seen such a mess of filth and litter. The . parks department were up again . to install a huge frame for| swings for the next park season and they put snow . fencing . around the frame to allow the |, cement to settle, I guess, but this | was too much temptation for the type of kiddie that plays in our . park. The snow fence is down, ripped to shreds and the pieces of lumber lying around the park plus an accumulation of cardâ€" beard and â€" newspaper. This | newspaper and garbage was origâ€" the base of the siide, seeâ€"saw and inally put in the mud puddles at monkey bars as the continual damp weather played havoe with these areas and I guess the childâ€" ren were coming home soaked in mud. However the sun came out | and dried the paper. the wind| picked it up and the children pulled at it and the dogs chewed at it and soon the entire park was | eovered with bits of paper. lt‘ this wasn‘t bad enough, the wind keeps carrying this trash across the road to the lawns of the homes on Magellan Drive. . Beâ€" ing on a main bus line is bad enough for these residents whom I feel have some of the nicest lawns in the subdivision but to have to contend with the noise and dirt of the park is something else. _ Surely a few words from each parent to his child will teach them to have more respect for a public park. Everyone was| so insistant that we get playâ€" ground equipment in the park and the ratepayers finally sucâ€" ceeded in obtaining this. _ Now: we have to call them to clean up. the park and of course it is not the fault of the township or the: ratepayers but just the many: children who are not using this park but abusing it. Another point in question is whether they are the children for whom the equipment was intended. I have seen teenagers swinging on the monkey bars and knocking down eight year olds. This is not fair equally to blame for surely they and I feel that the parents are know where their youngsters are and whether they belong there or is it the old story of just being content they are not destroying their own property and to heck with someone else‘s.

Following several inquirâ€" ies about having more movies the committee decided to have a movie for the children in the area on Saturday, October 20th, 1962. It was also decided that with the present committee comprised of only six people. it was imposâ€" sible to have more than one movie a month and so if the Ocâ€" tober movie is as successful as last April‘s this will be a reguâ€" lar monthly feature. Also severâ€" al plans were made to have a dance for the tcens in the area but nothing is definite â€"yet. Mothers might make a note here to remember to get the movie tickets early this time for it is first come â€" first served. A great many people were disapâ€" pointed last time as we were sold out but we are only allowed to have two hundred persons in the school gym so that our tickets are limited. \ More than 200 articles have 1‘been knitted by the members so ‘far, and as the day approaches, lefforts will be concentrated in \the kitchen to produce the huge }quamities of baked goods expectâ€" |ed to be bought and consumed |by the record crowd expected. The Oakdale Heights Ratepayâ€" ers Association will have an exâ€" ecutive meeting on Monday, Ocâ€" tober 15th to discuss plans for a General Meeting.

I would also like to wish a speedy comeback to Leonard Cancilla of Gravenhurst Avenue Collegiate and plays on the footâ€" who is a student at Downsview ball team. It seems Leonard has just suffered a broken nose and will be absent from a few games. He is however mobile and cerâ€" tainly a bardâ€"working boy for he holds down a partâ€"time job and still manages to keep his grades up at school. Also on the Downsview team‘s injured list is Paul Gerard who is laid up with torn leg ligaâ€" ments. _ These boys really play hard and it is no wonder the team is trying for second place in the North York Secondary School League now. There is more about the team on the Sports page of this paper but from the residents of Belmar Park who know Leonard and Paul, we wish them a very speedy recovery and lots of luck in the future. pects more than 100 people to atâ€" tend this year, for the bazaar, and the tea and social evening to follow.
