small town if yod are loo old for the playground and too young and innocent to spend your spare time sipping beer in the local hotol the fact is lots but it takes a bit of organisation and a lot of enthusiasm and initiative on a collective basis in the larger urban centres where there are theatres coffee houses clubs and recroatlon halls young people have merely to chose between them and hop aboard the public transit systom smalllown teenagers are faced with a challenge thoy must fight a constant battle against boredom apathy and stagnation they can be content to spend their summer watching television reading nancy drew mystery books or standing around on main street counting cars or they can creat their own action last april a group of progressive young actonltes organised what became known as project action it all started when the high school cancelled further dances in tho gym tho students held an open meeting in the school and another lator on in the anna at that time there were so enthusiastic souls within the ranks although they began with no money at all the first dance at the arena netted 120 profit project action was moving actons first walk for the cancer fund was organised by tho group and collected 600 members were sent to oshawa to a twelvehour marathon dance when the fall fair came in september the group had a coffee house in tho old swimming pool all winter they attempted to keep up a coroohoueo at the yuca with records and sometimes a live group the ideas were there and tho opportunity to get things hap pening on a regular permanent basis was there but somehow project action wasnt the crashing success it should have boon to each successive summer dance came a smaller crowd aa the winter dragged on the coffee bouse group dragged out in smaller and smaller numbers after christmas it was a disaster an attempt at revival this spring under the leadership of bob browns and marianne coles succeeded in organulng the mara thon walk which raised 1300 for the cancer fund they would ha to tee the group get into full swing again this summer once project action becomes a coherent body with a definite direction no doubt it will receive moral and perhaps oven mone tary support from the community as a whole but money has never been a problem for tho group it has shown that it can sponsor dances and bring in live groups without losing money in fact they had enough surplus at one time to outfit members in distinctive powderblue swoat shirts with shocking pink lettering what project action needs most is enthusiastic members it needs ideas for projects and activities it needs organizers who are willing to contribute their time and talents and it needs lots of the ordinary follwertype who will come out faithfully and participate a
