PAGE EiGEffT Dôwmanville Coinmunity Conncil Presents First Year's Report To repart the year's activities and ta empliasize what bas been done, does not seem s0 important Dow as ta suggest the gaps ind weaknesses in aur first years prograun and ta plan and budget for 1948. It is necessary, however, ta give a picture o! what lias been ac- camplished so 'that those who haefot yet personally liad a part, in the program, may know wbat has been done. Wlien the Dis-ector arrived at the end o! January lie !ound a small enthusiastie group o! people wlio vanted year round recrea- tion but who had'very little funds with which ta embark on such a program. It was felt also that it was a bad time ta ask for funds due ta th-c financial drive for a new H os p ital1. The committee thouglit it would ba best for the first ycar to operate with a mini- mum o! expense, and attcmpt ta seil the program ta the public be- fore asking for their financial support. With bis salary assured by the Town Council, the Direct- or set out tao rganize recreatian activities. The first move was ta get ac- quainted with as many people as passible and this was done by vis- iting many o! the local clubs and organizations and giving talks on recreation. A questionnaire was drawn up and copies circul- ated. From the information ga- thEcrcd, it was !ound that the teen age boys and girls needed atten- tion firs't. It was dccided ta organize a Teen Town and this was made possible by co-operation o! the Board o! Education in allowing the use o! the High School on Sat- urday niglits. This activity lias gone over very well and lias prav- cd beneficial ta the young people in t2aching thcm how ta conduet meetings, elections, and 'tao rgan- ize and manage their own activi- ýD ÀI ' MAG I C S* WA MI j UDDER HEALTRI.

The average attendance at this activity bas been over one hundred and fi!ty young people every Saturday night.. Stamp Clubs were then organiz- ed and while the members were few, their enthusiasm and interest was very keen. Then senior club with sixteeen members under the chairmanship of Mr. 0. J. Pres- son and with Mr. R. McIntyre as secretary meets regularly the first Wednesday in each month. The Junior Club for boys and girls o! Public School age, meet regularly every second Friday at 4.15 in the Public School. There are 20 mem- bers in this club who derive a great deal o! enjoyment and bene- fit from collecting and learning the history of stamps. Assistance in operating this group bas been given by members o! the aduit club. Table tennis and other table games were set up in the Lions Community Centre and these helped bring people ta the Centre and acquaint them with the pro- gram that was being attempted. The next step was the organiza- tion of a basketball House League o! four teams and a two team Teen Age League which played Monday and Thursday at the High school. Assistances was given in this project by Mr. W. DeGeer and financial assistance by the Rotary Club in paying the caretaker's fee. A cantest ta design a crest for the Community Council created a great deal o! interest and 104 de- signs were entered. Part of the Prize Money for the contest was given by Mr. C. G. Morris, Frigid Locker System and the Cold Spring Beverages. Prizes were won by Gary Dilling, J. W. Dilling and Betty Hughes. Track and Field was the next activity. and enthusiasm %for this was built Up by a Junior meet for boys and girls under 16, which was lield on May 8th and which proved very successful with a large number taking part. As- cistance was given the Directar by Mr.- Witherspoon of the High Schooi Staff and also by mem- bers of the Rotary Club. Prizes and expens-es incurred were paid for by the Rotary Club. The May 24th Sports Day prov- cd very successfui with basebali, lrack and field, soccer and danc- ing. The track and field meet cirew many outside atheletes and was the first o! many such meets held throughout the Province. Assistance was given by Mr. Wîth- erspoan, Mr. Little, Mr. Shrubb, Mr. Bagnell, and members o! the Rotary and Lions Clubs. As a resuit o! the sbowing o! aur local boy and girl athietes, several were entered in Toronto and district meets and were successful. Miss Rhona Evans won the Ontario Junior Broad Jump Championship and Miss Joan Greenfield was run-ner-up for the Ontario Senior Higli Jump Championship. Frank Hooper was runner-up for the Junior "B" High Jump Champion- ship. Basebail was the next on 'the list and with the co-operation o! the Intermediate and Junior Clubs, in loaning equipment, a !our-team Boys League was or- ganized with a Midiget team being chosen and entered in the O.B.A. playdowns. They were defeated by Markham in the first round but gave a very creditable pe» formance. Assistance was given by Mr. A. H. Sturrock, Mr. Bob Bates and Mr. "Dutcli" Osborne. Finan-cial assistance was given by the "Old Timers" in playing bene- fit games and turning the pro- EVERYBODVtS BUSINESS ý% by Many men make the mistake of regarding themselves as completely self-contained. Actually, ail of us depend to some degree on other people in order to make a living. In most jobs we are part of a large or small group of workers. Or else we deal with customers or some group requiring our services. And no matter how skilled a man may be as a worker, he cannot reach maximum suc- cess unless he has harmonious relations with those with whomn he works. This means being co-oper- ative and willing on the job. It means being interested in other people's ideas and methods ... and being toler- ant when they differ from yours. And it means being cheerful and friendly. Nobody loves the lone- wolf.type of operator. But the man who is really co-oper- ative builds goodwill in al directions. And he learns more because he is receptive to good advice and ideas fram a wide varietyl of sources. No wonder employ- ers prefer his kind! No won- ter he meets with greater success! Life insurance is a co-opera- tive risk-sbaring plan which enables people to provide against the uncertainties of life - a task generally impos- sible for the individual to ac- complish by himself.

In Eoftball, a four team Pee Wee League was operated with the Town League providing t h e equipment. This was chiefly ta teach the younger boys the rules and how ta play. The learn ta swim campaign which attracted 261 boys and girls was probably one of the Most suc- cessful projects. It was made possible through the co-operation of the local branch of the Red Cross Society, the Boys Training School and the Town Cauncil. Assistance was given by the Director ta the Canadian Legion in planning on conducting the Soap Box Derby on. July i8th.

Candies were distributed and were enthusiasti- cally received.

Basil Dean, in a recent article, says lie bas ýDeen turning over that question in his mind for some time, and that the answer at the moment is that in England mdiv- iduai liberties are "faking a bad beating". At the outset he ex- plains that until a few months aga, oane of my deepest-heid personal convictions was that British La- bar movement would indeed be able ta find the solution ta the pro- blem of individuai freedgom in the planned society". Naw lhe bas de- cid'ed that the "battle is rapidly being ]ost". Mr. Dean does not believe that the "constant erasian of freedom which is gaing on in Britain is the resuit of calculated policy on the part of the Government," but that it is rather the "inevitable exten- sion o! gavernment interference in an ever-widening range o! in- dustrial and commercial activity". The process lias been so impercep- tible that the British people are today "approaching a state o! ac- quiescence" He then gives a series of out- standing examples. One is the new order for the direction o! labor, whieh he says was intro- duced because a milder form o! selective service had. failed, and hie adds: "By only two steps in this logicai process, the freedom of workers ta choose their own jobs lias been returned ta a condi- tion in which it was in about 1485". Another sample is that of for- bidding British residents ta travel abraad for pleasure. This, says Mr. Deah, seemed quite logical in view o! the dollar crisis, and it was also logical that tliey should not be allowed, ta send money out of the country, and that women sliould be forbidden ta wear jew- elry when they go abroad for fear they miglit seli it ta get foreign currency. But this chain o! logic led ta other restrictions, search- ings and censorship of mails, and now, says Mr. Dean, "travellers are forbidden ta kiss or embrace their wives when leaving London airport for fear some contra'band article may pass between them."* By the same lagic it seemed perfectly proper that enforcement officers of the Ministry o! Food should lie given 'blanket search warrants to assist them in their operations against black market- cors. As a resuit of this encroach- ment upon indivigual liberty, Mr. Dean says, "the Englishman's home is no longer bis castle and is fast -bccoming something close ta a prison". Mr. Dean gives other examples of the graduai whittling away of personal liberties, and concludes: "I arn convinced that the Cabinet at present in office is just as mucli dcvoted ta parliamentry democ- racy as Mr. Churchill or any other political leader in the country. I amn also convinced, that wliere it invaded personai liberty it lias done so reluctantly and in the belief that this was the only way. Nevertheless, the fact remains that an administrative machine which in some respects is liorrify- ingly totalitarian lias been built up, piecemeai and by slow de- grees." That is a complete reversai of Tcnnyson's idea of British politi- cal progress as expressed in the lines: Whcre freedom broadens slow- ly down From precedent ta precedent. Mr. Dean lias discovered that under socialist planned economy freedom lias narrowed slowly down from restriction ta restric- tion. 000 from Town Council.
