Mrs. Phil Gil- mour said that it was her under- standing that the various wo- men's groups of the area would cater to the opening functionsd and a representative of the ‘39'ers said that members as a group “cannot be committed to anything, but that members might help as individuals”.

Tickets were printed by Beacon Press in Maple. and each book has a picture of the new arena on the front cover. OFFICIAL OPENING A lot of discussion was held regarding the opening celebra- tions. Eileen Woods said that the high school students thought the opening was to have been on a Saturday, allow- ing afternoon and evening fun, and not the Friday evening now planned. Brian East suggested having a celebration for young people on the Friday night with - music by a rock band as well as I festivities on Saturday after- . noon and evening for those who ' might wish to dance to an or- chestra’s tones. Mrs. Doris Walker wanted to second Mr. East's idea about a two-night opening celebration, obviously agreeing to the provision for separate nights for different age groups and/or music tastes. Mrs. Walker was representing Kingscross and Kingcrafts. and tossed out a plug for the up- coming Progressive Conserva- tive barbecue, September 9. VANDALISM In discussing the involve- ment of youth in the new arena. Bill Curran spoke about the damage and vandalism being done by young people in the area to the new arena, saying that it was “appalling to see what is happening before it is. even built“. He said that in one recent case of destruction. it was under 12 year olds who acaused the damage, with some vplaying “buckshot with roofing ,nails." He hoped that the {young people would try (in- stead) to raise money in support .' of the arena. “The Liberal" is always pleased to publish items of interest regarding people and events in the Oak Ridges - Lake Wilcox and King City districts. Our news corres- pondent for this whole area is Norman Matthews. 832-1579. Mr. Curran went on to say that every home in Ward 1 will receive an “information pamph- let" describing what; the arena is all about, what it is for and when and how it can be used by the residents. "If your needs are not being met, please contact the following” was a statement that Brian East felt should be put on the bottom of the proposed pamphlet to reâ€" 20. 197 ceive "input" instead of just "telling" people. Mr Curran pointed out that the duties of the new arena manager (Larry Keffer) in- clude the job of ascertaining the needs of the community and (presumably) to fulfil those needs. Mr. Orr added that the committee “hopes it (the arena) will be utilized by all in the community“. PROGRAMME In response to a few out- spoken comments by Mr. East. Mr. Orr admitted that he was‘ unaware of the existence of thel King City Development Centre} and apologized for not having invited that group to partici- ‘pate in these meetings. Mr. East submitted the results of a private survey on behalf of Mrs. Denise Jones, to the chair- man and referred to those who answered the questionnaire (40 young people in all) as those who are not organized (such as in hockey) and who have “the greatest need". First question on the ques- tion-filled survey was “Which of the following facilities would you use if they were available in the Village of King?” tab- ulated as follows: (a) A place for dancing to rec- cords (with record play- erlâ€"21 yes. 19 no. (b) A room with tables for cards, etc..-where coffee and refreshments would be availableâ€"33 yes, 7 no. (c) A room available on request for music practice, or jam sessionsâ€"32 yes, 8 ((1) Table yes, 1 no. (9) Badminton facilities â€" 32 yes, 8 no. ' (f) Roller skating facilities -â€" 35 yes, 5 no. (g) Ice skating rinkâ€"35 yes, 5 Question two was “Would you be interested in playing volleyball”, with replies of 25 yes and 15 no. Question three, “Would you be interested in 1a- crosse” was voted down with 15 in favour. and 24 against. The balance of the survey in- cluded openings for “other ideas for the use of the arena during the summer” and “what nights of the week” would be preferred for various activi- ties. Although lt certainly was a small survey in relation to the Ward I population, it was the only factual document present- ed by those in attendance and must be an indication of what the young people are looking for. In closing. Mr. Orr thanked everyone for coming and said that "there had been some very good suggestions made here to- night. These suggestions will ‘be passed on to the committee ‘for their consideration". tennis facilitiesâ€"39 Take it easy... with Earl Warren Put your feet up and relax as you listen to “The House of Warren” morning show on CFRB. lnterspersing his down-to-earth philosophy with music of the day. you find Earl Warren is the kind of friend with whom you'd enjoy sharing a cup of mid-morning coffee.
