For legal security and guidance, the Recreational Centre is affiliated with the Re- creational Centres Board at Van- dorf, which is under the auspic- es of the Government. For funds and equipment, an all-out cam- paign is planned. In the past three weeks, a few of the more enterprising members have rais- ed rather more than $300.00. But this is a drop in the ocean compared with what will be needed. and in a small communâ€" ity like this, the initial impetus cannot be kept up indefinitely. The immediate needs of the centre are as follows: Equipment â€"- not necessarily new â€" for every type of sport- ing and recreational activities; donations or offers of material towards the building of a re- oreational hall on land which is already available; cash dona- tions of my size.
