In I 6 “Why does Clip ton need a haw arena?” ■ ‘ Clinton needs a new arena to encourage hockey players, fig­ ure skaters, etc., to 'Wprk, Many people do not work on their .sport because they think the area Is not good enough. Hut then they are expecting a Vttje too much' dut of a nj.ner teen-eleven arena, “Hqw will Clinton benefit 'from a community centre?” It will have room for service clubs’ meetings and shorts subh as ,ice' seating,, hockey, roOfer skating and broomball. As a centennial endeavor I • think this project will be a per-? feet thing because nearly every- ...one will be able to use it either as *!f spectator or player. • But such a thing as this will take up time and money. Hav­ ing rallies and bingo is a good idea but money is needed to start 'such a thing as these. Money will came from the gov­ ernment ’and service clubs but what about the general, public? I think everyone who is going to use the community centre Should' at least help to finance it so “Why not donate today?” * * * First Prize’ (Senior) The Financial Outlook of Our Community Centre by Gordon .Lavis, Gr. 8 As .like every town, village and City in Canada, Clinton has, its own Centennial Project. A new. arena is being constructed ..to take the place-of the. old establishment which has been going steady throughout the .’winter months of the year since 191!.’ This ..centre, to be used by the surrounding community will cost approximately two hundred and twenty-five thousand dol­ lars. Of course, with this. ■ amount of money to be paid out to -the,, contractor, there are many different ways of financ­ ing- ; , f-’-Pebple and^assoc/iations* have- been’ called upon to donate financially m getting our new arena paid tor, Church groups, school glasses and .other public assopiatiQns are lending a' hand in supporting otir new com- rhwnfty centre,. A. campaign has been set up to raise as its ob­ jective one hundred thousand dollars Including governnieint grants and public donations. The public has been authorized that every dollar wh'ioh is giy-, en now, will mean twn dollar sayings to fche| citizen, This is because of debenture costs and compound -interest over a period of twenty years. ,, Since this building is being built under a “Winter Works” Prbgra'mme we should' obtain a Government Discount . of about forty-six; thousand doh lam. This programme along with others will he a great benefit in. the paying far -the centre. Tije Centennial Grant and other ghats w® amount to less than ten thousand dollars, hut a good portion of this must be railsed by Public Funds’, Mait Edgar, ;who spoke on the financial outlook of the . Community Centre on radio, is the head of financing the arena, Ted McCullough will be •looking after the Funds Cam­ paign and the Town Canvass Project. These men are only two of the people working in the “Organizational Structure” of the arena. - ' ' ( Having an interest in the sports of hockey, badminton, skating and many others, ) feel-, that entering and’ playing in this arena will be an honour and a grateful change. I think many other boys and girls my age, older and younger will back up this sense of pride. Because this arena will serve from Livestock Shows to : Dances, almost everybody will have something to look for­ ward to, when our “Clinton,, and District Community Centre” is completed s|l . ' if; ' if:., Second Prize (Senior) Clinton and District Community Centre • by George Brown, Gr. 7 During this, Canada’s Cen­ tennial year, many projects are being undertaken. Our town of Clinton is building a new community - centre. There are many- ’long hours of work be- 'hlirid this project. This is. the What we shall get out of a new community centre. Clinton has bean tin dire need of a new community centre for some time now., Our old arena has wved faithfully but a' structure of nineteen eleven cap harly accommodate the Clinton of the. nineteen saxfUl-es, The rptting woodwork of our outdated building is bepomipg rather unstable. On some oc­ casions the inside of the Older centre is colder than the out­ side. These reasons and more Show why Clinton needs a pew -community centre. The construction of a new community centre would bring many benefits to Clinton, It would -give the skaters and hockey payers, a great deal more enjoyment from these winter spouts, Social events could be carried on there, Yes, a, new community centre would serve Clinton well. The financing behind our new centre is immense, The total cost is two hundred, twenty- five thousand dollars. This will .come from a government grant, canvassing, social events an the public building and taxes. I think that such a project as this ' deserves to be backed heartily. The construction of our new building is quite impressive. The framework consists of eight concrete,' piers and nu­ merous solid wooden beams. When completed, this structure >will house a regulation ice sui> face and accommodate eight hundred people Sitting plus four hundred standing. At the front will be a snack bar, dance floor, washrooms, and dressing rooms. Clinton’s community centre will be a fine structure indeed. The citizens of Clinton should be proud of our centennial pro­ ject. Since Clinton needs a new community centre and nearly everyone will use it; it is per­ fect. The Clinton and District Community Centre is a project of which we should ,ail -be proud. -----------0-----:----- I Kfifetrhitei ‘j ui *. ■1 ■■I COWuiW; Public School Pupils Promote Community Centre These are the four top winners in a poster competition at Clinton Public School, promoted by Clinton;'and District Community Centre Centennial Com­ mittee.
