Recreation Haa Important Place In Education A forecest that recreation com- mittees will some day have the same status- as municipal coun- cils and boards of education wes voiced et the fifth provincial training course for working mu- nicipal recreation directors held on the Queen's University cam- pus et Kingston. William A. Wagner, business- man and vice-chaîrman cf the Leaside Recreation Commission, gave his opinion that the present system cof appointing recreation commission members will, in the not taa *distant future, be replaced by civic elections with the recre- ation body having the same au- thority over their budget as school boards have now. Rec- reation, he seîd, is as important as education. He was-,speaking te recreation directors tramn some 50 Ontario cities and tawns taking five days, o! 'professional training 50 they cen give bétter service ta the citi- zens c! their communities. The course is jointly sponsored by the Extension Department a! Queen's University and the Community Programmes Branch of the On- tarie Department a! Educetion. Answering his own question on why a community should bother having a recreation commission, Mr.' Wagner said recreation in its broadest sense is synonymous with education. It resuits, he said, in a better -world with a higher level cf co-operetion and improved standards cf living. An elmest similar question was posed and answered by Professor Alan Klein. of the University cf Toronto's School cf Social Work and one e! the province's leading spokesmen in recreation. He said in modern society, where lite becomes routine and the op- portunities for creetive expres- sion and personal growth are lim- ited, recreatien is a vital process in moulding personelity and in creating ebundant community liv- ing. Recreation, he said, Is flot a ne- gative force that prevents "this and that" but stands on its own feet as a positive factor producing diseese-resistant citizens ta cape with the "complicated living of a confusing, pressurized, intense society." Defining recreetion as what 0 icN-2 we choose tai do in aur leisure time ta satisty aur personal and so- cial necds, Prof. Klein said rec- reatian knaws fia age limit, fia class distinction and no seasons. "It must provide happiness and be engaged in through free choice. It nmust be training for living." OBITUARY MRS. JAMES N.

Government Helps Build Your Own Private Trout Pond The Division cf Fish and Wild- life of the Department ai Lands and Forests would like ta sec more farmers and landawners construct ponds on their property and are willing ta pravide advice concerning the stocking of these ponds. Pends may be made by excava- tions ta collect normai drainage waters. They may utilize springs for a supply, or they may be made by demming a stream. In addition ta beauti!ying'the property in general, these ponds provide swimming and fishing for the young people in summer and skating in winter. They arc also a stcady source of water for stock and a reservoir in case of tire. More than that these ponds canstitute a sound measure o! soul and water conservation,. re- taining water which would other- wise run off and be lest ta the fermer. Ponds about one-haîf ta anc acre in size are usually sufficient to provide all the area needcd for the many values they provide. When a dam is cantemplated permission and appraval o! speci- fications from the Ontario De- partment cf Lands and Forests are required in order ta avoid action detrimentel ta fish and jdown-stream landownersqupe Many contractors are ýupe ta exavate a pond or gongtna dam, and te supply advlce re- garding the site, design, spiliways and other matters in that con- nection. In the Editor's Maill Dear Mr James: In a recent issue of your paper appeared reports and subsequent- Iy the voice aofithe people, brought before the public the fact that the' Beard'ai Education had been te the tewn Council asking for their backing and a "go ahead" on an addition of four roams ta the new Ontario Street School (ar the New South Ward Schaol, as name of the aider residents fondly cali it, in xnemory ai days gone by). But, whichever we choose to name it, the tact remains: the sauth part ai town is naw the new residential section and lu fast be- caming the pepular place 'to build'. Therefore aur new school is fait beeoming inadaquate and wiil &ean have ta post signa "No Vacancies." Little did those who pianned 'a six-raomed school ta replace the aid condemned twa- room tire, trap school thi?±k it would be filled ta overflowing and become a seven - roomed school within a year. The audi-1 torium allowed space for the ex- tra classreom. The new Fiett sub- division wasn't started then. Now1 there are ta Ïbe 75 houses, plus 25 residences dispersed thraughout the south hait ai tawn. Ii these 100 new homes were to bear the cost ai the new $56,000 addition, they alone couid pay it off in 20. years at $14 per year! But there 4s the wkole town, bu- sinesses afid industries te carry it. A matter ai a dollar or two. There are those who feel they are over-burdened withtaxation now but I venture to say they are flot the ones who are putting a 'damper' on the school. What is a doll ar or two spread over the towzn? We teel it is sate ta say that 90% ai these, are smoking tailor-made, cigarettes (taxed ap- proximately 100%), that they are stili buying new cars <ta.xed as much as $300, didn't we hear?) and the gas ta drive them which is taxed as much as lc per gal- lon! Yet a dollar or so for -schools is overburdening theni! Why should aur children- havei poorer. more cramped quarters,i iess adequately equipped schoalsj than thase children who are pop- ulating aur Training Schools, which lack nathing frani excel- lent teachers, arts and crafts in- structars, clubs, bands, rinks and swimmitig pools. AUl these at go- vernmental expense. We are the gavernment, who pay for it ail. Let's get the school capable of accomniodating our own children first. We feel that better achools with all the extra crafts and vo- cations evailable were provided throughout the province the chul- dren could be taught something ta keep themn occupied in 'off heurs' and there would be no need ot the extra expense af these el- abarate training schools (who, by the way, are daing a splendid piece of work). Our town, like numerous ath- ers, is steadily growing, it is the responsibility pf cîvic bodies to keep pece with the needs in pro-' viding adequate educational, me- dical and recreationel facilities. 0f course the greater number et homes the smaller wili be the taxation per each! We are confident that if some; et the Council members had been as anxious ta provide extra ac- commodation in the schools for aur children's education as they were ta arrange ways and means to raise the $35,000 for, artificial ice in the Arena for their amuse- ment, the new addition would have been started. If a choice must be made, there can ibe no doubt that tbat which benefits every child should came first. Education inakes an en- lightened citizen, and an enligh- ened citizen makes a good neigh- bour. Therefore it is sound in- surance ta sec thet aur own, or aur neighbours (if we have none) are provided with that which will make themn the good citizens of tomorrow. Surely the artificiel ice could wait a little longer. One genera- tion of young people have already grewn up without'any rink, whil e a zeelous cemmittee dreamed of a great Arena for them. At leAst this generation will have that blessing while they receive their* education for future living.
