The welfare of your community in the future depends upon the interest you show now! HOW IT CAN BE FINANCED The Memorial Arena. and Community Centre, including artificial ice, is estimated to cost $100,000.00. It is proposed to obtain this money from seven sources: The Town of Seaforth, the Township of Tuckersmith, the Township of McKillop, The Canadian Legion, a public subscription, Government Grants, Donations of Labor and Material. It is estimated Government grants will "u amount to at least 510,000.00. The Seaforth Branch of the Canadian Legion has agreed to make available approximately $10,000.00, in return for suitable accommodation in the •proposed structure. Receipts of $25,000. are anticipated from public subscriptions, and it is further anticipated the equivalent of $10,000.00 can be made available by :the donations of labor and material. It is sug- gested that the remainder be raised by means of debentures, to be issued by the benefitting municipalities.

In view of the small cost of but a few cents per 51,000 per year, you cannot afford to deny yourselves and your children the WHAT IT MEANS TO THE COMMUNITY There is an awakening among communi- ties in Canada as to the necessity of all year round community recreation, because it is realized that not only can the Centre be a deterrent to .juvenile delinquency, but that at the same time it provides . a common meeting place where all ages, all classes, all interests may join on common ground. The Memorial • Community Centre and Arena, which is suggested for the Seaforth district, will provide, in addition to a stan- dard size artificial ice surface, a large audi- torium. Smaller rooms will be available for group meetings and bobby and craft work. Teen-agers will -nd adequate ac- commodation for their activities, as will al- so the various groups in town and country, such as Federation of Agriculture and Wo- men's Institute. Provision is to be made for permanent quarters for the Canadian Legion. The Community Centre and Arena will be an important asset to agricultural exhibitions by providing greatly required exhibition space, of 180• feet by 80 feet. This Arena space will be surrounded by adequate seating. The benefits which will result to the farming element of the community as a re- sult of the exhibitions which it wail be pos- sible to accommodate in the proposed Com- munity Centre and Arena, are many and varied. The Community Centre and Arena will fill a long -felt need in the •Seaforth community. WHY A PUBLIC MEETING ? The Memorial Community Centre and Arena was first pro- posed 4t a public meeting held early in March. At that time it was agreed a tentative committee should be established and that it should thoroughly explore and, if found desirable, report back to a second public meeting. This the committee has done. Its preliminary study has indicated that not only is the proposal feasible, but also that it is highly desirable that it be proceeded with as soon as possible. At the meeting Friday evening you will have an opportunity of learning in detail the work of the com- mittee. MEMBERS OF COMMITTEE : Mayor J. E. Keating, Town of Seaforth Reeve A.
