Mr, Thompson,

in higher education and to

.I began to think of leaving,

instead of being satisfied with

we don't have a centennial

be'an expensive professional
m like those in other towns
Qt ld"be volunteer aid. It
be financed: by grams from
unicipal councils- and service
clubs. The coaches would be peo
ple who took part in these new
sports whenthey were in high
school. Coaches clinics could be .
set up to teach the volunteers, We
have a man in town who is a,
professional coach for the high
school ,and 'is good at all sports. He
could help train these coaches and
might even volunteer to take part
in the program,
This program would allow many

Of the limited' facilities. it would''
introduce new sports like soccer, .
track and:field, .basketball., .volley"
"ball, badminton and., Oa new.

For the'elderly the association;
could organize bridge clubsand
other such clubs,
To help finance the program, •
there could be more programs like
the variety concert on by the
Agriculture. Society. There could
be dances` organized for the young
people by the young people , There
could' be annual. festivals each sim-
mer and winter with tournaments '
and meets against teams,,from other
wns:: , During=these_festivals there -7
would be dances and concerts. It.
would, be a week of fun and games.,,+.
when people would .forget their • •
television 'set and have good old
fashioned. fun:
We have so many wonderful
`places in Lucknow that are being
used very little now . The: program
couldmake fuller use of.the Town
Hall auditorium, the parks, the.
'arena', - the high school gym, and
.the wonderful'‚athletjc fields' at the
schools Many 'of:these.facilities
are now being. wasted.' '
Iflt. sounds like I'm enthusiastic
about this idea, l .am. and ,l;hope
you will be also. I 'remernber the

big reunion in 1958 when .everyone
really went to work to get the . job
done. 1 remember how everyone
was so excited and how the whole
tbwn'had a sense of purpose that
it doesn't have"now. People work-
ing together at volunteer projects
are :people at their best. I think. •
we need: this kind of spiritfar more
• than we need a• new building as a,
centennial project.. As Sentinel
readers, .1 hope you willat least
give "it Borne thought.
Yours sincerely,
Keith Roulston'
P.B.. I want to point out'that'this
project would be for all people -of
the town and the surrounding area
and not just for youth.
