Rosten bas captured some of the most hilarious moments a traveller ever experienced in this book of armcbair travels.

Community centres are the heart of the social, cultu rai and recreational life of many places in Ontario. They have been built by people in the community who have contributed their money and their labour and they are one place that everyone can share equally. Uni ortu nately, niot ail these centres were buiît to the same construction standards. Modemn engineering studies have shown that some of them contain dangerous flaws which must be corrected immediately. Happily, Ontario is able ta help municipalitiesta do this with 'extra money f rom both the Community Recreation Centres Act and Wintario. In most cases, the people in the cammunity need to raise anly 25 per cent themselves.
