A few of the village residents are taking advantage of the local bus service to have a day away, inspecting how the Metropolitan Parks Department invested $14,- 000,000 in renovating Centre Is- land Children have a fair variety of transportation by the time they travel on a late morning bus from the intersection, transfer to a Bay St. car, and relax on the upper deck of the ferry Sam Mc- Bride in the cooling breeze from Toronto bay. Sunday School plcnlckers of a few years ago will find little re- semblance in the island of today. In every direction the grounds are formally landscaped and dot- ted with floWer lbeds. No sight re-t malns of any of the former hous- es and streets. so that the view between central lagoon and the lake is clear, between the trees. Th bridge, repainted, is the Only familiar clue to what used to be the “main drag". Manitou Road. The fire hall. refreshment stalls, rides. dance spot, restaur- an¢s and summer hotels remain only in memory._ No trace remains of the once- bustling boa-t livery. At that ap- proximate spot is the smart new cafeteria with outdoor tables and umbrelflas placed beside the Manitou bridge. Part of the waterway has been re-routed to form a popular little lake for fishing, with steps all around the edge of the pictures- qug pool: Tame little ducklings pause at the miniature island in the fish- ing area at cross to the fishermen and picnlckers to eat snacks from their hands. Youngsters are having fishermen's luck, thowgh the catch is small in length. The farm 1.00 is more of 11 nov- eltzy for city youngsters than those from King usad to eeing Mvestock. On the north shore Menards patrol an area marked with buoys, with sections marked for the waders or older swimmers. Picnic tables are plentiful, grouped under shade trees. In several spots are playground cen- tres. with a variety of double- eurve slides. push-around rides and jungle gyms to keep older children interested too. There’s one large, circular en- closure, formed by snow fencing, that could be used for a roomy play pen to keep toddlers out of the lagoons. One woman told "The Liberal,” "The Island is a great place to take children. It's really intended for family picnics and there's no plgce to spend money." No doubt there will eventually be more than the central restaur- ant and one counter for dispen- sing snacks. Good coffee and ten are available for ten cents and the restaurant offers an appetizâ€" ing variety. it you don't mind the half-hour line-up for any food. When thirst strikes, you may be glad you took along your own refreshment.

The tour took in several crop demonstrations in the north- ern part of York. with some of the newest cropping methods on display. The performance of Rus- sel oats was noted particularly Weed killers (or corn was the main item at Cecil Mortaon's farm near Queensvllle. Six dif- ferent methods were used in his com field and Atraline spray- ed on the crop. just after it came up, seemed to rbe doing the best Atrazine at planting time til as a spray and in the gran- ular form also kept the weeds down satisfactorily. at the Oliver Bales farm r1ear Nemx-ket. This new variety compared very well with Garry and Rodney. and is expected to outyield them slightly. Her-ta bar- ley, although later, also looked good in the barley tests, with its outstanding straw strength. A new haying machine, fea- turing a ten-Ifoot mower. condi- floner and swather combined, and self propelled. attracted the in- tc--est of the group as it was seen in operation on Harry Wal- ker’s farm. Different fertilizers on a field of oats were compared at Bill Seller's farm at Sutton. The plots that had ’been iertllized accord- ing to a soil test with only 150 lbs. of 16-20-0 looked just as good as others where the rate was much higher. Profit on the crop where the soil test was used Is also expected to be high- er. The Sellers' farm also featur- ed a very large dairy barn vu'th ‘some of the newest labour sav. lng devices in use. A mechanical silo unloader got a lot of attenâ€" tion from farmer: whose strength and endurance is put to the test every day of the winter taking out firozen silage. l J Lunch at Sibbald's Point park was followed by a viSit to the newly developed Marsh vegetable growing area south of Keswick.
