Librarian’s Report The feeling of the meeting was for complete co-operation and un- ification of all separate groups working toward the one end. It was hoped to make the district 3 more desirable place for young people's activities, with more available playgrounds and sports and including senior citizens in the programme. Panel Discussion The group was divided into three panel groups which indivi- dually classified their flndings of the outstanding problems. This resulted in two main topics of discussion. It was felt the dis- tricts of Oak Ridges and Lake Wilcox must be amalgamated in their effort to support a recrea- tion centre. rather than the pres- ent arrangement whereby several groups all solicit funds and equipment for the betterment of recreation. The second topic pointed out the lack of support from. many parents in assisting the committees. and the need of trained men and women to prop- erly organize and ""uduct a re- creational association.

It is in the centre of the subdivision and would be a centre of neighborhood activ- ity. Chairman Smith said “We might not want to use it as a park area. The village might want to sell the 5 per cent for industry and that land would not be saleable We would like to see it as an asset for development.” Trustee Findlay made the ob- servation that we might want more than 5 per cent to compen- sate for poor land rather than 15 acres .of choice land. The by- law of one acre per hundred hou- ses has never been followed.- Mr. Sepejak again stated the plan was like that of North York. E. R.

King Lions Speaker Tells Of Visit To Hungarian Border “What can we do to help the refugees?" queried Mrs. Douglas Jennings as she addressed the King City Lions at their dinner meeting in All Saints Anglican Church, King City, on Tuesday evening, January 22. Mrs. Jen- nigs had been asked by the Can- adian Department of Immigra- tion to go as a volunteer to view the Hungarian situation in Aus- tria. The Canadian Hungarian Federation had requested the de- partment that an unofficial rep- resentative be sent. Mrs. Jennings is a volunteer} worker. of the I.O.D.E. in Toronto 1 and is the convenor of Canadizaq tion and immigration for the“ Toronto I.O.D.E. She is also a member of the National Council. Mrs. Jennings does volunteer work on the co-ordinating com- mittee for citizenship receptions which are held for the newcom- ers who have just received their Canadian citizenship. The guest speaker was introduced by Lion Stan Hunter. A vivid picture was recounted of riding in a truck to go to the border where refugees were es- caping at night from Hungary. In the chilly foggy night Russian flares could be seen sent up in a relentless effort to locate the fleeing refugees. Then after a quiet interval the Austrian guards would give short flickers of light to indicate to the ex- hausted escapees they had reach- ed safety. Some of the women were so exhausted they collapsed. They were mostly young people. as it would have been too much for the older people to make the escape. The refugees were quick- ly ushered into cars to ‘go to schools, hostels and camps where they would find temporary shel- ‘ter. Mrs. Jennings was quickly rec- ognized as a Canadian as she wore a Maple Leaf pin. All she talked to among the refugees were eager to come to Canada as they thought it would be a good place to find work. Most of them had friends and relatives in Can- ada and were well informed about the country.
