Letters To The Editor.
Lucknow, Ontario,
November 23rd, 1950.
Editor, Lucknow Sentinel
Dear Sir:
As a citizen, interested; 'in the
Welfare of . our • village; .and the
people' of .this community, I. •am
writing this article, for your Paper
in the hope that it might stimu-
late 'hot only those in a'utheri;ty,
but also the .�ci�tizens: in general
;into .doing .,something to get . the
Recreational Centre, operating, in
the capacity for which ' it was•
pr, imarily erected, and as its: name
implies—".for recreation". •
If I were directing. this matter
.to any specific persons,,I could
do•:so. to 'three'responsible groups;
namely, the' Village' Council,, the
:Comm unity' e=n t r e Advisory
Council,. and •the, Centre's ere
cU.ive •Council
One realizes. that the men bn
cur 'Council.are' ' busy men,.: oc
cupied with` ..both municipal of -
fairs and: their .•own matters of
business,, -',but the • Community
Centre is municipally owned and,
it is their' : duty " as' Reeve 'and;
Councillors .te be vitally' ' i.naer-
ested. and give direction' and ro=`
motion. to any Undertaking which,
ch,
•would.��be of"benefi � '
t to the people.
of Our .eerrmunity.
Secondly I'; .could ' refer this
matter, to` the. 'Advisory Councih �
.which was..formed prior to,•the.
opening of the 'Centre.. This'
g body.
is ' made up of, representatives
from -::every` organizatipn in. and'.
arou 'd,' Lucknow rid, ckriow and: its duty pis
to.•plan activities for the (build-'
•ing which . would cover citizens
et, all ''age .groups.• This :group•`has
rnet•on only a. few occasion an
s d
has failed to funetion•'.asan'•inter=.
ested, lire -wire rou should do.
g I?..
There is., also •a :third group; to
whom :.this 'article ,.might 'be dir
ected' and that 'is ; the' Executive.
bode : It is thein duty '
,Y , y however :to.
look.,after:'the • rental upkeep ' and
P p zl
dnifnistzation of .the '.building,
but,°as°, Men in authority ou1d.
it w
semi possible' that they :might.
•be able to add' some. push to•the'
preinetion of recreational acti,v
itiea :over ,.and above what'their
duties -,call. for.
Failing any action on the part
of these • groups,,,, it is tip -to in
terested individiiaa citizens•: to
nd--
- ■ I • •
promotion of., recreational activ-
ities; within.: the Centre. got only
is there •a .lack of., interest and.
leadership,. rbutlack ., ofsuper-• '
'vision . also poses `a , problem to•
the', success. ''.of.'these activities.,.
•
•
Here againvoluntary help on the.
part:of organizations and indi;vid-
uals would meet the need.
The public were ,most •gener.-
ous in .their Are sponse; to the ap-.
peal last winter for games and
cards, etc., for the Centre. Today
these things are to befound along
• with ping pong equipment and
shuffleboard, stored •away, Un-
used. Various individualsand
groups have also lended support.
in : decorating and ' , furnishing,
parts of the Centre.
The buildi.ng; is: being used to'
• good .advantage as. a .meeting
place for Scout and Guide organ-'
izations " sand local meetings
'which are:rent free, a� ??d 'for ban
duets, bingos, dances', ;Msales ' and
receptions • for which a rental. is
made for,,, the. upkeep of . the
+building. These activities, ; how-
ever necessary,': should not be
chief in the • life of the Cent7.
A' properly organized• system of
recreational; activity will cover
various things for all age 'groups.
A recreational director is needed;
you will say. 3 do not think so.
Only one or two: resp•ansible' cit-
izens ,who .will`. take hold of or-
ganizing .such a program, ,backed
by individualcitizens who ,will
give ::whole: hearted co-operation,
,and leadership, is • needed.
: The-opportuntti.es 'are endless.
Under' 'proper • ,supervision • the
Centre could be open every, night,
With card ,tables set'uy
p',for those.
