a: ‘ .uu..n..,.. _ "‘«Q‘lvap‘w ., N, ma 1e me I'um By Valerie Tinline Maple Correspondent Last week there was a notice of the upcoming meeting of the Maple Area Recreation Committee together with pertinent data provided by Chairman Hugh Cook. I would like to add my own comments. The members of MARC have spent many volunteer hours planning and executing the plans for the betterment of our community. If it were not for their efforts. many of the activities that we are so fortunate to have, would not be available. Figure skaters start with the basics It would be a way of saying "thank you" to at- tend this meeting. Maybe you have some ideas or talents to offer. This is a big undertaking and help from others would, I‘m sure, be appreciated. Let‘s not leave the job to just a few. ' Don‘t forget the meeting, December 5, at 7:30 pm in the. council chambers of the municipal offices in Maple. THE LIBERAL.

Parents were worried the school would lose its French teacher if proper classroom facilities were not provided and they had received no response to a petition signed by 60 percent of their number.
