He said the board also had its eye on another area on the other side of town. which it hoped to eventually de- velop as both a park and sports complex. However. that was still a little way off and nothing definite could be said about it now. Mr. Beggs said that so far, the board had been doing mostly fence mending, both Mr. Beggs said he would like to hear from people in the district, people who are interested in having a place in which they can walk on the grass, and not just anx- ious to have another place to play ball in. “We want to develop it a beauty place, not just a marsh.” Mr. Beggs said.

One of the things that came out of the meeting was the suggestion that the vis- itors make use of their school playgrounds during the summer. The two parks board men then made ample use of their associate's knowledge by questioning them on just about every aspect of parks they could think of. However, the youthful parks board head has had his his appetite whetted some- what by his five day visit to Brockville last year, where he and Councillor Walter Scudds attended a conven- tion of the Ontario Parks Association.
