Young Couples: “They are very interested in recreational “This age group is interested in recreation programs although they might be a little reluctant at first to get involved. Once they got involved they would be a very active group. They might require a little more coaxing and time than the younger couples.” Couples: “This group of individuals in- terviewed wern’t interested in the recreation survey because of As a result of the survey Miss Iliohan instituted a gymnastic program in Nobleton and a la- dies' fitness and games program in Nobleton and Kettleby.

Total numbers of surveys dis- tributed was 550 and 93 of this total were returned which is roughly 17 percent. The survey was sent out ran- domly throughout the various areas of King Township by Rec- reation Co-ordinator Marion Ili- ohan via mailing, drop points with programs and door-to-door pick up and delivery.

Neighborhood Notes Mrs. Harry Hutchinson' spent a few days in York Church News The Chapel of All Saints Anglican Church, located on Keele Street was opened in 1857 November 3, making it 117 years old. It was orig- inally a mission to a church in Aurora, made of wood logs and bricked in about 1867. Getting back to her re- sponsibility as committee chairman for chapel restora- tion, she said “it’s much deeper than just restoring a chapel. Practical problems ‘are the roof, bell tower, scraping and painting walls, and restoring the pine wood pews, at considerable ex- pense." The cemetery be- hin-d the chapel (at the end of Doctor’s Lane) should also be included in any chapel restoration plans. In ending her informal speech, hampered by an obvious head cold, Mayor Britnell sat down and asked every- one to join in a general dis- cussion on the topic. Hugo Walker suggested the possi- bility of applying for some form of government grant, with Mrs. Britnell saying “both levels of government‘ are realizing the importance of historical rehabilitation”. The mayor said that it is well known that “a country destroys its history, destroys itself". There are many buildings of historical value in King Township, and we have a “little jewel in our chapel”. Speaking of the Federal/Pro- vincial “Neighborhood Reha- bilitation" program which is tied in with low rental hous- ing, she said she would like to see it applied to historical projects as well.

Some of the ladies interviewed showed “Most couples interviewed felt a great need for some sort of youth centre for the teenagers and also programs for mothers with baby-sitting made available at the same location. In regard to recreational facilities, these young couples were interested in seeing a swimming pool and tennis courts in the township." Middle Aged Couples: “They were interested in rec- reation for their children more so than for themselves. Some of the programs they wanted to see implemented for their children took the form of social recrea- tion rather than active physical programs as they feel that they have enough of these programs already.
