YOUR COUNCIL AT WORK Bastard & South Burgess What a pleasant duty Council had on Saturday afternoon, June 13, as the ribbon was cut by Reeve Ostrom to officially open the new comfort station at Beverley Lake Township Park. Delta is fortunate indeed to have such a beautiful park on its doorsteps. Council toured the park and saw the many improvements, among them new docks, new septic system and the many pieces of equipment necessary to maintain such a large facility. Park Superintendent Bud Donald and his wife Pat, provided refreshments which were well received and much appreciated. It was a lovely day in a beautiful park that is a credit to the Township. The recreation programming starts at Beverley Park on June 30th and runs until Sept. 6th. Suzanne Green is in charge of this programme and will be offering organized sports, overnight campâ€"outs, major walks, arts and crafts. Swimming will be offered under the direction of Julia Gibson, assisted by her sister Jennifer Gibson. Both these girls are well qualified for the positions. Programs will begin in Delta June 29th to July 24th, and in Portland, July 27th to August 21, 1987. Still talking about Delta Park, we are glad to know that two girls who will be working on the gate house will be attending a Hospitality Workshop at Charleston Lake Provincial Park. A petition from telephone users was presented, requesting a larger free calling area. This was received and forwarded to C.R.T.C. The new dump hours seem to meet the needs of the Township residents, businesses and summer residents. We've even had compliments! With these cheerful notes we'll end our June news. Have a happy, safe, summer! DELTA UCW The Delta UCW held their monthly meeting at the home of Dione Kirby. Pres. Irma Chant welcomed everyone and read a poem entitled "Thanksgiving on a Summer Day". She led the devotion. Roll call was answered from members stating that 20 hospital and 15 home visits were made. The secretary and treasurer's reports were read and accepted. It was decided that at the September meeting we Would bring in our envelopes for the Bakeless Bake Sale. Other business was attended to, then Hilda Cardiff took charge of the program. "We have to affirm for everything in this world that is living" â€" was her subject. It was an Indian story which took place in a city northeast of Georgian Bay. Hilda closed the program with a reading "Green Grass of Home". A missionary letter from Mrs. Willard's grandson was read. He and his wife are living in Equador. Irma then closed the meeting with a prayer. Dione Kirby served a tasty lunch. Our next meeting will be at Millie Sweet's home in September. Have a good summer!!
