The meeting, designed to inform parents of the need and progress for a youth centre in Wingham, drew a lot of empty seats at the special meeting. The Wingham Advance -Times, Thurs., April 6, 1976—Page 11 Group still faces financial problem The Junior Citizen Consultants, who are attempting to establish a youth centre in Wingham, receiv- ed a disappointing 'slap in the face' Thursday evening. The meeting, held to inform parents on what the committee plans to do and what is has already done, drew four interested parents to the town armouries. Adrien Keet, committee chair- man, said that since parents didn't seem to care about the young people in the town or what they do, someone has to be the in- stigator. "Parents don't seem to care about this centre but the youth certainly do. Parents are always co-operative in providing ideas how to keep them off the streets but they seldom do any- thing about it in the long run," he said. He did say the committee plans to continue its search for a pos- sible location for a town centre even though no support has been shown. "We certainly don't plan to give up because of what has happened at this meeting," he said. For those who did attend, a number of possible locations for the site were discussed, along with the means by which to raise money. At a meeting held with the Kinsmen two weeks ago sug- gestions such as a water polo match, dance-a-tlwns, an Okto- berfest, fashion and pet shows, go-cart races and a street fair during the summer were viable activities if enough support is generated. The topic of how to finance a building once one is chosen re- mained a problem to the com- mittee.

The operating inc9me, or the bulk of it, will have 4o be raised by the young people once they get the centre off /the ground," he said. HIGH WAGE He also said that to find a quali- fied person suitable for the job would cost around $9410,000 a year on top of the purchase price and operating expenses. The committee also decided the change house on the river front would be an ideal place to get the centre started. Mr. Trapp said the property, owned by the Parks Board, is a good place to start until a better location is found which they could afford. Harold Remington said it would be almost impossible to raise an operating expense of $15,000 a year. "People here are being bombarded already with dance -a -thous and lotteries. They just won't donate to these things any more," he said. The committee also said a Win- tario grant would be needed to run the centre for a period of 3-4 years. The group also felt it would take anywhere between 24 years before it would be known if the centre could survive on its Mr. Keet added that to start off with something small at first would be the reasonable solution. "If we did start off with some- thing small which didn't cost us too much money, we could pur- chase a bigger building later on if d our idea works out satisfact- orily, " atisfact- orily," he said. Mr. Trapp said if the com- mittee could rent a building for about $300 a year perhaps the young people involved could raise the money. RENT PROBLEM But he said the Young People do not want a building which they must rent. They want some place they can call their own. It was learned the youth wanted a loca- tion centralized in the town and not on a back street.
