At their own expense the presidents of two clubs in the Phil- lipines traveled to international headquarters in Chicago to beg the privilege of starting the first Lions club in the country which had ra- vaged their own land during the war years. Similarly, the first 'Lions Clubs in West •Germany were sponsorechby clubs in France.

TO BE . OR NOT TO BE? A full recreational centre? An outdoor swimming pool — or nothing at all?! In a nutshell that is the problem which faces the committee of citizens charged with the responsibility of meeting the hundreds of requests for action which have been voiced during the past year. The' third alternative—do nothing—seems to be out of the question, for residents of this community, both rural and urban have left little doubt in matter. •There a is an unmistakable demand for a pool in which both town and country youngsters can be given proper swim- ming instruction—not merely to keep pace with a. mod- ern trend, but to provide the only-sure and dependable protection against drowning accidents, ' Most of you are now aware that a proposal has been. made whereby a complete community centre, ra- ther than an outdoor pool should be constructed. It is logically argued that our dollars would get us a far better "buy" if they were invested in a year-round, heated pool, gymnasium, auditorium, kitchen, etc., all of which could be included in the community centre plan, rather than investing in an outdoor peel, useful for only two and a half months out of the twelve. 'The complete centre would cost in the neighlierhood of $75,000, while the pool only would run to at least half that figure.. There isn't much room for argument about the re- spective values for dollars spent-;-the question is wheth- er or not the people of this community are willing to provide the required money for the •project. There it no use beating around the bush—the people who want the recreation centre . . or the pool, will.have to do the paying. Grants and public funds will not 'be forth, coming, or at least not in any significant amounts. In order to gain some accurate indication of public -feeling In the matter, the committee has decided to mail out a questionnaire to every home in the area which would be served. The letter' will not go out for two or three weeks, becausi The Advance-Times and CKNX Radio and Television have been asked to use the intervening time to thoroughly acquaint every person in the district with the fact that a Very high percentage of response MUST be provided by the public if any further action is 'to 'be taken. The decision in this question is YOURS!
