Such a recreation committee would be of seven members, two of whom must be members of town council. Dr, E. A. McMaster was chairman of the meeting and James 'Murray secretary. R. E. Secord, district director of the Community Programs Branch for Ontario, explained the plan, stating that in his territory of Huron, Bruce, Grey and Perth, there are 29 recrea- tion committees in operation, with Seaforth one of five places not so or- ganized. Not all municipalities have a recreation director, ho said, and some have only part time directors. Provincial grants are available to- wards one-third of the salary of a recreation director, anti one-fifth of total operation and maintenance costs up to $600; also one-third to- wards coaches, swimming instruct- ors, band leader, etc„ up to $1400, making a total of $4;200. An addi- tional grant of $600 is available to- wards a town museum. One-third of the expense is like- wise paid by the municipality and one-third by Iocal organizations, The first step would be passing a bylaw by the town council to estab- lish a recreation committee. The motion in favor of appointing a connnittee immediately was made by J. R. Spittal, seconded by Frank Kling. CARNOCHAN—SIEMON The Rev. Walter H.
