Over a long period of years the need of a community centre in lien- sail has been recognized,, but while from time to time suggestions have been advanced as to how the. need could be filled, nothing definite was accomplished: This year the Hensall Chamber of Commerce determined some positive action: should be taken, and following, a series of meetings a recreation. building fund /stale iiittee was named and instructed to ;proceed with neo- •€ssary organization leading to /the erection of a suitable building.

Spencer, lost no time in agreeing on the extent of the facilities required and in setting in motion an organization geared to raise a minimum of $20,000 in a cam- paign which opens Monday. The 'building, envisaged by the com- mittee. will provide( ,an ice surface. 170x70 feet with ample seating ca- pacity. in addition there will be a, •combination gymnasium and. assem- bly hall with necessary .kitchen and. dressing rooms. Provision, too, will. be made for meeting accommodation for local and' rural groups, such as 'Boy Scouts, Women's Institutes and/ Federations of Agriculture. As soon as the project was an- ounced, enthusiastic support was ap- parent, not only in Hensall, but throughout the surrounding district. "The farming district knows that if the young people are to stay on the farm,. then they must be. „given every opportunity to enjoy comimun= ity activities, such as the proposed district recreation centre will pro- vide," explained a committee mem- ber in commenting on the farm sup- port being given •the project. While the canvass does not begin until Monday, already, promises of substantial donations, not only cash 'but materials as well, have been re- ceived. The necessary gravel, for in- stance, is beingdonated by Glenn McLean, • while ' Wilson Allen has agreed to haul it to the building site. In discussing plans for the cam-. pa.ign the committee stressed the fact that the construction of a Hensall and district recreational centre will in no way affect the Hensall tax rate. The entire cost is, to be borne by donations, and after •the building is erected it will be operated by a com- • mittee representing Zlensati; and neighboring townships. This come rittee will be responsible to a board of governors composed of repredentar tives of all groups—rural and urban —using the facilities of the centre. Revenue from the use of the facili- ties will provide for operation and ntaintenanee. The committee point- ed out the difference that exists be- tween the recreation centre proposal and the •inetallation of water work& in the village. In the case of water works, the cost is provided for by debentures issued by the municipal- ity, payable over a term of years, but in the recreational centre scheme there is only one chance to assist, and that Is now—when the canvasser Calls.
