ATXEY , - - - - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1948 W A RECREATIONAL DIRECTOR [THIN the next week or so, a decision must be made regarding- the setting up of a Recreational Coimnissibn or Council for Clinton and the hiring of a Re- creational Director. In a practical sense, here's what has been done to date, Clinton High 'School Ditstniet Board has gone on re cord as agreeing to pay half the salary of such an official, he to act as a teacher of physical training at Clinton Col- legiate Institute for approximately half his time. Clinton Lions Club has voted $400 toward the salary of a Recrea- tibnval Director for the year 194748. Clinton and District. Chamber of Commerce executive has voted $100 toward the ' salary of su'dh an official, and plans to complete the pro- posal to raise sufficient funds to hire him. The Ontario Government will provide a grant of one-third the coot to the town, exclusive of the High School District Board's share. In other words, if the annual salary of the Director were $2,400, as has been inditcaited, the High School District Board, supported by a 70 per cent grant from the Ontario Department of Education, would arrange to pay one-half, or $1,200. The Lions Club would -supply $400, or one-third of the remainder,. the Government grant would amount to $400, and the remaining $400, or one-third, would be met by contributions from the Chalmber of Commerce, Women's Institute and similar local organizations. It will be noted that all the above frenzied financ- ing leaves out entirely any contribution that the Town Council, representing the citizens as a whole, would make. Tine general opinion seems to be that, for 1948 at least, the Town Council has enough financing on its hands to keep it extremely busy, and that it should be relieved of any burden until 1949. However, it remains for the Town Council, as such, to initiate it he proposal. A bylaw must be passed, setting up a Recreational Commission or Council, and members, rep- resentative of various interested local organizations, should be appointed to sift on this body. Then the Commission or . Council would be in a position to function properly. It is true that the High School District I3o'ard, most probably will take the initiative in hiring the proposed Re- creational Director, as he must have received proper train- h'ig and be qualified to teach in the Collegiate Institute. However, the actual appointment will be of great interest to all those organizations and individually who have shown that they believe the appointment of a qualified Recrea- tional Director will filla long -felt need in this community. The individual. experiences of Goderich, Wingham and Exeter, hi this field, have shown that several different types of personality may be available for the post. But we feel certain that a good man Wtill be chosen, and that the Clinton commurriity—both children and adults --will receive a great deal oft benefit from the operations of a Recreational Commission or Council and a Recreational Director. 0 0 0 SELF-RELIANCE STRESSED T'HE United Kingdom must ultimately depend on her own efforts to effect her economic recovery. This view figures prominently in addresses of leading British bank- ers delivered at recent annual meetings of their organiza- tions, as recorded in a supplement to the February issue of the Bank of Montreal's monthly business summary, which has just been published. On the subject of help from abroad, Hon. Rupert E. Beckett, chairman of Westminster Bank Limited, .said, "President Truman's proposals if carried into effect will constitute an unparalleled act:of national magnanimity. If in attempting to work out our own salvation we appear to make our plans without regard to tlii's proffered assistance it is not through a lack of appreciation either of its gener- osity or' of its profound significance; it is certainly up to us to make such an attempt." Dealing with the natibaes international position, the Marquess of .linlit)hgow, chairman of Midland Barak Lim- ited, noted that `Britain has had cause, in her latest emer- gency, for unmeasured thankfulness for the practical good- will of British countries oyerseas." He found evidence of 'Britain's determination to continue as a great power in "the far-seeing projects recently launched for economic de- velopment auto social improvement 'in colonial territories." Lord Linlithgow saw in the Marshall Plan "a mag- ntif'ilcenrt opportunity for a ..co-operattive effort. directed to the reinforcement of European economies in general". Bizt, taking the same view as Mr. Beckett, he emphasized that the Plan could not be fully effective "unless the countries receiving help tlivve up to the morall obligations accepted by thein in the early stages of drafting the plan". 0 0 0 EDITORIAL, COMMENT Thought for To -day — Happiness is Eke Ohne and spate we make and measure it ourselves; at as a. fancy — as big, as little, as,you please; just a thing of contrasts and comparisons. 0 0 0 .
