In fact, it is simple enough for the children to do, and they'll still enjoy a summer full of swimming and lazing with all the ease of vacation.

Cover the seeds very lightly with the h a y a n d wait for them to spout. The hardest part comes hext, which is the thinning. If you don't thin the seedlings out , you will not have good resuits. Some things i ike beets, radish and lett- uce, are delicious at this stage, but they mustbethinnedout. As the plant grows move the mul ch around them to preserve water. If weeds begin to show through throw a little more hay on the spot to cover it up. That is the bulk of the work until ha rvest time. An occasional bug might have to be removed, but there is no need of weeding, hoeing or heavy watering - and incidentaily, it doesn't matter how old the kids are. Study Group Summarize Yiews relating to proposed Rossland Road Municipal Complex I in order to keep their intention clear, the Wh itby Ci tizens Study Group has summarized its views and suggestions relating ta the proposed Rossland Road Municipal Complex. Following are their remarks on the subject. A well established need exists for better Police facili ties than those pres- ently afforded. We, however, question the projected Rossland Road site. For this unserviced site of Il acres to be chosen as the location of a police fac- ility requiring no more than one acre is questionable. This is especially questionable at a time when the future o f o t h e r m u n 1cipal needs cannot be clearly establ ished. The move of police facilities to Rossland Road appears to be an extravagance in terms of servic- ing costs and in the manner in which it compromises the further utilization of the remainder of the site. We once again request that a thiorough study be made of such alternative sites as: 1. Expansion on the present location. 2. The West side of Henry across from the art Centre. 3. The old county jail location. We point out that considerable savingsto the taxpayers would be made on any of these sites since services are more rap- idly available. We aiso find no argument that greater space is required by our local Library though this could be considered secon- dary to the requirements of more police facilities. We suggest to tie in expan- sion of the library facilities with a que- stionable move of administration serv- vices does not do justice to the library requirements. We understand that an allocation of land was made in 1969 of the South West corn- er of the block on which the present mun- icipal offices stand. We understand this consists of 15,000 square feet and feel t h i s c o uld provide ample space for a library as is af course land owned by t he t ow n. We beiieve such abuilding c o u I d b e designed ta compliment the p r es ent buil ding and perhaps join it. R e cog n i zing the need for park ing we suggest the building could be elevated. We ai so have an arhtet sopinion that the present I ibrary buil ding coul d be ex- panded ta the north and again possibly elevated over the present parking lot on that site. We suggest there are a number of si tes which would suit the Ilibrary which would not necessitate moving the Administr- m
