Additions to Rural Hydro Service Your Commission desires to bring to the attention of Ontario farmers who have applied, for Hydro service, a condi- tion which is now seriously slowing up the building of rural extensions. Essential materials and equipment are in extremely short supply, and the prospects of obtaining additional quantities in the immediate future are very meagre. Strikes in various basic Industries and the extraordinary national demand are holding back the supply of all equipment needed. While the Commission will exert every effort to obtain material and equipment for rural line construction, it can complete this year only a small part of the full program which it had planned. Consequently, many applications already approved will not, of necessity, be completed' this year. 'our Commission will endeavour to serve all applicants In, order of receipt of applications, giving preference to all farm and similarly essential applications over those for other types of service. These 'facts are presented for your information, and, with the expectation that they will enable you to bear more patiently with a situation beyond the control of your Commissioni ti • TRVIII/DRO-ELECTR/C POWER COMM/MO N OF ONTARIO MORE MILK PROFITS Young calves need a specially formulated starting feed just as baby chicks do to ensure essential early growth and development.

He was convicted of the murder of Pte. Walter Lavelee, another Ind- ian, in the reserve in Bruce County last January 6th.

Many communities in Ontario have been giving serious consideration for improving the recreational activities. The present trend is to place all these activities under one body representa- tive.of all interested organizations in the town, Following this a director is appointed to take charge, In order to make the citizens of Wingham ac- quainted with this idea a summary of what is being done in sonic communi- ties is given below. St. Marys—A director of recreation was appointed on March 1st,, 1946, and as his first job he made a complete survey of the town facilities, and then sent out a circular to young and .old. On this circular were listed the various activities in arts, crafts and sports. The people were to mark the activity or ac- tivities they would like to follow, As a result the schools have been thrown open practically every night in the week. Stich things as a teen-age dance, music, appreciation, arts and crafts are now under way, using the available facilities to the best of advantage. This is one of the finest 'programmes in the province to:date. Oakville—Here they have one of the finest teen-age clubs in the province. These teen-agers have their own board of governors and are using a very fine building turned over to them by town council and decorated and maintained by -the Rotary •Club. They are now considering the appointment of a dir- ector of recreation for the co-ordinat- ion of the arts and crafts. Picton—On March 4th„ 1946, • the town council voted in favor of a dir- ector of recreation to be' paid by town council and also designated a Com- munity Council, comprised of represen- tatives of local service clubs, women's organizations, ministry and school as its official body on recreation. The schools are to be used to the best ad- vantage, and also the Benson Memor- ial Park on which stands a very fine large building.. A full programme of arts, crafts an sports is to be carried on, . Other towns where a director has been approved, tokether with a Com- munity Council, are as follows; Brant- ford, Lindsay, Westoii, Oshawa, Georgetown, 'Hamilton, Toronto, New- borough, Renfrew, Pembroke, Bramp- ton, Whitby, Midland, St. Catharines, Waterloo, Kitchener,. Fort Frances, Fort William and many others, DOES WINGHAM NEED SUCH A PROGRAMME? Wingham and 'every town in Can- ada and on the American continent needs such a programme if its people are to find relaxation in their leisure hours .and bring' out the potential tal- ent which many of them possess. There are undoubtedly service clubs, churches and social agencies which are giving excellent service to their com- munities, but sonic overall plan is re- quired. In spite of what has been done and will continue to be done by such agencies and groups,' Some gredt- er effort is required. Feeding, educa- ting and clothing your youngsters does not constitute the whole of your oblig- ation to them. "What about their re- creation in -their leisure hours?" WHAT IS RECREATION? Recreation is a leisure activity en- gaged in to build healthy bodies and minds. It includes outdoor and indoor games-'and sports, swimming, camp- ing, hiking, dancing, picnics, drama, singing, playing instruments, parties, arts and crafts, discussion groups on current events, and ever so many other activities for too numerous to men- tion here,. HOW CAN IT BE DONE? (a) A Community Council should be organized, comprised of represen- tatives of all service clubs, social org, anizations, church, school and muni- cipal government with an executive of not more than four. (a) A director of recreation should be appointed and paid by town council ftom public funds, He should be full or part time, but, if possible, full time. He should have a full knowledge of spoils and be a first class organizer in forming groups in arts and crafts, and all available facilities should be placed at his disposal such as schools, church halls, etc, A meeting to discuss this idea is being held in the Wingham Council Chamber on July 5th., at 8 p.m, You are urged to attend, A,member of the Community Welfare Council of Ont. ario will outline the program.
