planned sports program,, so that
the ''best and 'fullest use might
be made of the arena and flood
lighted ball 'park,. with , particu:-`
lar attention to ,the promotion,
of minor sport.
In this regard there. were sug-
••. gestions that the• Association

having, the youth regard sport
as /a "handout; but ' that they be
•responsible for. at least; some of
their equipment: ;In this respect

year by the .Fire Company, had
to '.buy : their own , sticks, a 'par-

days:,..
If sport was . wisely . Prompted.
in this. regard . it was felt that

teams :would prove: no great
problem, and that, if not immed--
iately, such a program, would
eventually pay dividends: •
