Community Hall Centre Chairman John Neufeld told “The Liberal" that he and his colleagues are giving some thought to making the basement somewhat more soundproof. “When the bowling alley is in full swing the noise does interfere to a degree with main-floor meetâ€" ing." he said, adding that this problem can be satisfactorily solved.

This included nursing staff. kitchen. cleaning staff -‘ everyone as well as the volunteer so we in turn will find out just how time consuming and active our services are. One thing we know already is that we surely need more ladies who will give a few hours one day a week, es- pecially with holidays coming up when vacation beckons, and vol- unteer staff dwindles.

Cub Rally - Thornhill Park As a wind up of the September to June season each year. the Cubs hold a Rally in one of the local parks and compete with the cub packs throughout York Sum- mit District. The “Scouters” and staff from District Headquarters test them on relays, signals etc.. and members of the police force give them their safety test. This means a team effort and your cub needs the support of his mom and dad on his team. The date is Saturday, June 10 and the place is Thornhill Park. Your cub is planning on going and it would make his day com- plete to have his family there to root for him. How about planning a picnic supper and show your boy that you really are interested in his special day by joining him and being prepared to root for his team at Thornhill Park Cub Rally this Saturday. Youll find it well worthwhile. The social committee is active too, so watch for news of an ex- citing night of fun coming up a- round the first part of July. unteer staff dwindles. Hello there!

On May 29, the Normaple Com- munity Club held a meeting in the George Bailey Public School. He is a professor of horticul- ture at O.A.C., Guelph. Not only is he a horticulturist and natur- alist par excellence, but he is a terrific chalk artist and illus- trated his talk through drawings and sketches in such a manner that the poorest excuse for a landscape gardener could com~ prehend. There were five definite points Prof Weall outlined for the ama- teur gardener to follow in plan- ning the landscape for his home: 1. Simplicity; 2. Proportion: 3. Harmony; 4. Personality; 5. Res- traint. The chairman of the Park‘s Committee. Bruce Gibson, stated he had received the go ahead sig- hat to purchase the heavy duty equipment, such as swings and teeter totters, for the junior Ma- ple Park. He also sent a positive 8.0.5. for volunteers to line up with their physical support. as soon, perhaps by press time. the bulldozer will be in there turning the first sod. As this equipment 'is of-fered gratis, Bruce asked helpers to be ready at most anytime it is most con- venient for it to be made av- ailable. A generous cash donation to~ wards the fund for playground equipment has been received by the Club from two of our local business concerns. If any other firm should feel so inclined, by all means contact the president, Bert Stevenson at AL. 7-1135. Prof. John Weall lived up to advance notices and much more. The average wishful garden dreaâ€" mer could at last see his few square feet of mud and twitch grass have more than half a chance of taking on the plans laid out during the winter mon- ths. The >Normap1e Community Club has taken on the sponsor- ing of the park as its contribu- tion to the community at large. However this is not a closed committee by any means and so how about some members out- side Normaple giving Bruce a call at AL. 7â€"1024 and sharing in this new project for all our junior citizens.
