In tens pf thousands, of people, it has been stimulating mental appetites for new inter­ ests, stirring bodies and minds to fresh activities, promoting friend­ ships among strangers and-— above all creating an antidote to the insidious effects of boredom. Encouraged by the Commun­ ity Programmes Branch of the Ontario Department of Educa­ tion in all its forms—the physi­ cal activities of sports and games the esthetic interest in the arts and mental divertions of hobbies and handicrafts, People of all ages and conditions, singly and in groups, in every part of the province have been reached by the wave. It has provided soli­ tary individuals with enjoyable and constructive activities for leisure hours to bring them out of themselves; it has promoted group reaction in remote rural settlements and in the congested areas of large cities, where lone­ liness and isolation amid crowds can be even more depressing and damaging. While recreation has always had a part in the life of the people of the province the mounting interest in it since the end of the war has been little less than spectacular. A glance back over a four-year period shows that the number of muni­ cipalities where recreation pro­ grammes qualifying for grants- in-aid have been organized in­ creased from 18 in 194G to 148 today. In the same period an­ nual grants paid by the Depart­ ment of Education to encourage and assist recreation programes have increased from $10,213 to more than $170,000. But these figures are only slightly indicative of the numbetf of people participating and the total of expenditures. For every organized community there are1 many others where movements toward recreational organization are under way and gaining mo­ mentum; for every dollar of grants there are many other dol­ lars expended by municipalies and groups interested in various forms of recreation. The strongest impetus to this province-wide movement was giv- the closing months of Hurt In Crash Two teen-age girls were jured and damage amounted to about $1,500 in a head-on colli­ sion Friday on the 15th conces­ sion road in London Township.

Injured were Helen Stanley, 18, Lucan suffering from shock and injuries to the right knee, and Marie Stanley, 17, also of Lucan, suffering from shock injuries to knee. Others in driven by Marion who had injuries to her right hand, and Norma June Hodgius, 16, Denfield who suffered an ankle injury.

There is a staff of around forty in all. It includes members specially quali­ fied in various forms of recrea­ tion, based at headquarters, and ever ready to extend technical assistance to any community no matter how remote in organiz­ ing its activities: In addition twelve to fifteen field repre­ sentatives operate from six dis­ trict offices providing general services to local communities. These district offices are located at Fort William, North Bay, Ot­ tawa, Toronto, London and Hamilton. Last year, field rep­ resentatives made more than 2,- 000 visits to communities and handled a large volume of work by correspondence as well. In extending assistance to communities, the Branch does not set out to “run the show.” it is a service organization which follows the policy of providing its assistance only on request. The principle is always kept in mind that the recreation will in communities ity auspices. 206 the pro- out main growth of be fostered best under commun- Woodh am Holds GILT CROSS GIRL Donna Donaldson of Kamloops, B.C., lias been awarded the Girl Guides’ Gilt Cross for bravery.
