The Brownies living near Sac- red Heart Church undertook the responsibility of watering and weeding the good-sized garden plot beside the church. This year the pack concen- trated on raising annual flowers from seed. In the fall they hope to plant perennials which will bloom next year and can be used in the church. Driving was done at a slower pace at Kenora, where consid- erable road construction was taking place.

Her present job occupies four or five hours of her day, depending upon whether the northbound late morning train Mrs. Percy spent several years working in rbake shops at Mount Forest and Kitchener. Mrs. laura Percy Of Oak Ridges She Sees That Mail. Gets Through The new King ‘postie’ used to cover a 24-mile rural route at Mount Forest. During that 10-year assign- ment she was accustomed to using one or two horses, making sure the mail got through, when snow-blocked‘ roads were too much for her to manage by car. ‘ After purchasing that enterprise from its origin- ator, Mrs. John Hughes, Mrs. Percy built the coffee- break business up to 250 customers and recently sold it toiMrs. Renny Van Beek of Oak Ridges. Mrs. Laura Percy of. Oak Ridges is enjoying her new job as mail carrier for the 165 box-holders for- merly looked after by Mr. Ernest Cummins. He re- tired last spring after 38 years’ service. ( The grey-eyed, dark-haired woman of medium height has had considerable experience driving. She operated a truck snack service through the village area for a year. Delivering mail around the 32-mile circuit of King City’s R.R. 2 should be a cinch for a woman who has already spent 10 years seeing that the mail got through â€"by car or horseâ€"over at Mount Forest. ‘ Mrs. Percy started the local route June 18. Her appointment runs four years, when customarily it is renewed. Mrs. A. E. Kelley has visitors irom Edmonton. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Patton and Mrs. Ed Pat- ton. The Messrs. Patton are nephews of Mrs. Kelley’s neigh- bour, Mr. James Patton, now in his 92nd year. Mrs. Fred Boys of Oak Ridges Is their sister. Denies Lake Wilcox Is A Potential Slum Area Manir people have expressed a wish that Dr. S. E. Jensen of the Mental Health Clinic would attend a meeting here and explain his statements. Mrs. Harry Lacey and Phillip Lacey spent a weekend at San- dy Lake, visiting Mrs. Lacey's uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. David Anderson from Islington. We have lived in this community for eleven years, brought up a boy and a girl through their teens, and Idon’t think they are any worse for having lived here. Our family and hundreds of other families are not ashamed to say we live at Lake Wilcox. There are 486 homes here, and I do not think you can find 10 per cent that could be classed as potential slums. Of this percentage, 1 think you will find that most of the houses are rented, and the landlord-s will not keep up their property: Bennett Drive spent ten days at Port Ryersle near Port Dov- er, Lake Erie. As for the teen-age gangs, sure there are a few girls and boys that stand on corners and make a noise, but you find this in the city, and in all other communities as well. Most of the teen-age problem around here is caused from teens from other places coming here looking for trouble, and if there hap- pens to be any, of course, the Lake gets the notorious end of it. Many people have lived here for many years, and have raised their children here, most of them going on to becoming good citizens and also good mothers and fathers. Of course, there have been a few out of the many that have not done so well, but you find this in the best of communities, whether they live in more expensive homes or not. (By Mrs. Lillian Atcheson, Our Lake Wilcox Correspondent) I, for one, was much perturbed when picking up the paper and reading that Lake Wilcox apparently heads the list as a potential slum area. A lot of the homes at the Lake may be of the more inexpensive type, but I do not think that this makes us potential slum-dwellers. PLENTY OF HOT WATER FOR EVERYONE I6B YONGE ST. N. After Mr. George Brown meets the train from Toronto and delivers the bags of mail to fihe King City Post Office, Mrs. Percy sortsdxer own route is prompt and the volume of mail.

The whole ‘schedulle will be moved an hour 1earlier when daylight saving time reverts to standard. Asked by “The Liberal” if she found anything unusual about her job, Mrs. Percy said, “The mail boxes are favorite nesting places for baby star- lings. They are usually at the back of the box, so I just put the mail in front of them. No matter how often people re- move their nests, the starlings return. They don’t get discour- aged; and they're so smart they take stamp money out of the boxes.” _Mrs. Percy says she “loves bi-rds” and feeds them around home in winter. Sometimes she lunches at the restaurant or, more often, eats as she drives along the township roads. She hicks up mail left by owners in the boxes and re- turns it to the post office. before setting out The Scout and Cub group committee are going to hold a ‘Blnlgo at the Legion, Oak Ridges Plaza, on August 28th, at 8 pm.
