excellent but the twcr stag show presented each night ytttjt off smoothly several people went the whole thre nights and enjoyed themselves more each time the art collection ws excellent and one doesnt have to be an art critic to enjoy such paintings the local artists in the writers humble opinion put to shame most of the loan collection that is of course an opinion by one who prefers art to be hfelike and we realize such a statement can be open to criticism recentlyjin time magazine we saw an example of modern art which the artist had titled fish number two it bore no more resemblance to a fish than it did to an apartment- building or a box of shreddies being only a jumble of brush marks we were tempted to write the author and ask if he hadnt omitted the s after fish v to get back to the hobby show there cart be only praise for all those in and out of the gftg who worked for its success it is a certainty that with such an auspi- cious start there will be another show next year grc needs money while the activity sheet of the grc is full to the brim there is an equally important side to recreation which cannot be overlooked finances last year close to 3500 was expended on a program which in cluded sports of all types ballet dancing and figure skating and the stayathome camp town and prx- vincial grants amounted to 950 and profits from var ious activities were somewhat over 500 about 1800 came from public subscription this year the grc had hoped to receive more than the 600 grant from the t own bu thfe is not to be council feeling that they have been elected on an econ omy program and an increase in grant would not find favour with the ratepayers it is a fact then that a substantial sum of money must be made available if the program is to be continued and increased and while some of this will come from events such as the may 4th motorcycle races the public must support it with donations large and small several industries merchants and professional men havealready cooperated in this regard in a private fund drive which has been started by the herald and it is hoped that at least 500 and possibly more will be made available by these preliminary donations- it is hoped when this shot in the arm is administered that a districtwide campaign can be launched when every one will be asked to contribute to the recreation fund meanwhle we know that any donations which readers may wish to make either through the herald or direct ly to thegrc treasurer will be most welcome the hobby show shows what the grc can do hockey teams baseball teams
