Inspected and licensed by the GREETINGS -- CHIEF FLINTOFF I would like to congratu- late the Building Committee on: the opening of Simcoe Hall Boys' Club. I feel confident that this or- Panization will do a great deal to assist in the preven- tion of teen-age crime and juvenile delinquency. It is fortunate, indeed. that we have men of th: ealibre of Harold McNeill and Stewart Alger who were the _ead- ers in this venture. I would also like to pay tribute to the other members of the executive and all the other ¢itizens in the community who helped to make this Youth Centre a reality.
