SUMMER PLAYGROUND GREA SUCCESS BUT IT CAME TO 3 AN END TOO BY LLOYD BAKER It was a happy scene and a sad one too when Sidney Sum- mer Playground wound up this year’s activities at Sanscha Hall last Friday. The _six-to~12-year-olds showed wild excitement at the final session, almost as though they were trying to crowd an- other week or two into the pro- gram in a couple of hours, This year’s program was for three weeks (July 14 to August 1) and supervisor Mrs. Norma Sealey agreed it should be at least four weeks and perhaps Six. Nevertheless it was obvious to parents and others visiting the playground ‘open house’’ on the final day that it had been an outstanding success, They saw the youngsters in many of the activities that have kept them busy from 9,30 to 12 noon five days a week, : They also saw displays of handi- crafts completed in the three weeks, One of the visitors was Mayor Arthur Freeman who was accom- Boundary-Similkameen Richter, Frank Hold British Columbia on course!

The ‘playgrounders’’ also were taken on activity visits to , Tulista Park and Lochside Beach. Here they went on ‘‘hunting expeditions” for articles they Might use in their handicraft work back at Sanscha. Various things had been sug- gested beforehand and among the “loot”? brought back were odd shaped rocks and shells which were transformed with glue and paint into little nick-nack fig- ures and driftwood whichbecame house name-plates with the hames either painted or burned with magnifying glasses. Hundreds of popsicle sticks were used in the manufacture of trinket boxes and letter hold=- ers; pop tins were ‘‘doctored’’ to become pencil holders; old plastic containers supplied the basic shaped material needed in the making of napkin rings, toilet tissue covers, ornamental animals. A wide variety of flowers were ‘‘grown’’ by the children too, little paper jam cups, egg cartons, crepe paper, foam rub- ber, tissue paper, pipe cleaners were used to devise a variety of blossoms.

(Review Photos.) some of the older youngsters also fashioned hanging flower baskets from scraps of corru-= gated plastic. There were many other cre- ations too, some given painstak- ing care, others assembled with reckless abandon. But the important thing, as Mrs, Sealey pointed out, was that many of the children were able to discover skills they ney- er realized they possessed. And the development of these skills over the three-week per- lod gave the youngsters satis= faction of accomplishment. Mrs. Sealey was enthusiastic — in her praise of four assistants who helped in supervision and teaching -- seniors Linda Hunt and Maureen Campbell, with jun- iors Jon and Chris Henriksen. One of the youngsters too, was singled out for her assis- tance. Twelve-year-old Diane Jewett soon showed she posses-= sed a natural gift for handicrafts SO much so that she helped in instructing the classes. Most of the material used in the handicrafts was scrap but some supplies had to be pro- vided.
