A few drove to Canada's first nuclear power plant, the Nuclear Power Demonstration Station, on the shore of the Ottawa River and continued on to the giant Des Joachims Hy- dro Electric development. Dr. A, M. Aikin spoke on "Recreation, Its Impact in the Industrial Setting", The im- portant factor is to see that there are enough activities to keep the wiveshappy, he said. On Friday morning the presi- dent, Inspector Ralph Boot opened the annual meeting and printed reports were distributed, Due to a lack of funds there is little hope that the publication, "Recreation in Ontario" can continue. Generally, small communities supported this ex- cellent publication more than the larger centres, Gordon Wade of Clinton was elected to the O.R. A. board. Mayor P. McConnachie said that due to technological changes in industry people have more leisure time. The challenge to Recreation bodies is to plan programs from which participants will derive plea- sures, as well as health bene- fits. 0.12.A. conferences go a long way towards obtaining this objective. Dr. Laurier La Pierre spoke on "Great Expectations in a Changing World". He stated that a higher level of human excellence for an individual is reached when one is fully con- vinced of the necessity of be- ing alive. To be alive means to possess enough common sense to face facts and to act accordingly; to know and un- derstand himself fully and above all, know and under- stand others and be able to communicate with them. The level of human excel- lence reached by an individual is in direct proportion to the sum total of his experiences. It is impossible to benefit fully from experiences if one is clos- ed, uninspired and unimagina- tive; and it is impossible to reach the level to which he is entitled by the very nature of his personality, if the society in which he lives is closed, un- inspired, and unimaginative. Everything must tend to avoid mass uniformity; educa- tion, politics, and recreation are means to achieving this end. Those responsible forrec- reation must not forget that the very word contains the word "creation". Recreation has been under- stood only in terms of parks, sports and outdoor activities. Recreation should consist of the immensity of facilities and means which interest the indi- vidual outside of his working hours. Education, radio and television, theatre and the arts, involvement in community pro- • jects are integral parts of rec- reation. "You must be in the forefront of those who fight uniformity, the tried, and the safe, You must be challengers and rejuv- enators, and you must be the inspirers of new values and con- ceptions. In your kind of work, as in mine, there can be no room for individuals who refuse to be involved, who are ignor- ant of the society in which they live, who are indifferent to their cultural milieu, and who are uninspired by the challenge: of the Canadian reality of cul- tural diversity, " he said. The panel discussion after Dr. LaPierre's speech became very lively and interesting. Dangers inherent in mass edu- cation were brought out, the overcrowding and the loss of contact between student and teacher. The thought was ex- pressed that we must stop de- manding such a high standard of living and demand a high standard of education. The ability to think creatively and constructively is priceless. In closing the discussion and thanking the panellists, Mr. Hare remarked that "this hour had several generations". A reception, banquet and cabaret was held at the Legion Hall. The speaker was 1. n. Struthers of the Centennial Commission. His job was to stir up interest in events for 196'7 and Canada as a nation. T. W. Thompson, Com- missioner of Recreation and Parks, Metropolitan Toronto, spoke on Professional Standards, His plea for high professional standards for recreation direct- ors and for a research program at graduate level, sparked a very lively panel discussion. The main feeling was that the greatest happiness results from a feeling of achievement and creativity, and leaders miss the boat unless they involve the whole community in creative use of leisure, and not degen- erate into glorified babysitting. A strong case was presented for the use of natural science in recreation. A. Andras spoke on " Leisure, a Legislative Challenge". Pan- el discussion suggested a way must be found to integrate func- tions of government and recrea- tion direction, perhaps event- ually with the appointment of a minister of recreation. A reception, banquet and ball was held at the Forest Hall Saturday evening. Speaker was Leonard Hopkins, M.P., Ren- frew North. There were eleven dele- gates from the Lake Huron Zone.

Since the new series began with Lu- cille Ball, and without Vivian Vance, I have been waiting for something good to say about it! But alas, the time has never come the good show has never been produced and Lucy, by an unfortunate turn of events, has become just another performer and her show just another com- edy, Now 'Hazel' is back with a new look. But there is not the drastic change the Lucy went through. The old Hazel starred Shir- ley Booth as the maid hired by the Baxters, lawyer George, his wife Missy, and their son Har- old. It ran for a number of years on a U.S. network, and the CBC here in Canada. Then Shirley Booth became ill and was unable to continue. Now she is back, but with a new family.
