FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF THE SEAFORTH & DISTRICT MEMORIAL COMMUNITY CENTRE Early last fall your committee launched a campaign to raise $30,000. to complete the Seaforth Memorial Centre. As you will note from the following statement, the drive fell some $14,400 short of the required amount. It is regrettable that the canvass was not, in many districts, car'ried out, in a thorough manner, and many other sources of financial help have seen fit to take no action in the matter. It is imperative, therefore, that the canvass be completed, and a new subscription list opened for those who haven't already donated, and those who will now feel disposed to give a further donation. Donations may be left at ani; ,Bank int Seaforth where official re- ceipts will be available. REiCEIPTS EXPENDITURES Drive fi.
