Macpherson THE TIMES-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1946 Phone 703, All Departments "Recreation Is Our Job, To See That It Expands In Proper Directions" Oshawa Recreation Director Tells Rotarians of Neces- sity For Planned Program In Recreation, and of Importance of Recreation "Recreation is a natural growth, of and for the people. It is going to expand and it is our job to see that it expands in the proper direc- tions and under the proper leader- ship," so said Capt. Robert Oole- man, recently appointed Recreation Director for Oshawa, when he spoke to Whitby Rotarians on Tuesday. Introduced by G. M. Goodfellow, Mr, Coleman made & speech which was of compelling interest to his audience because of its timeliness and his sincerity. The timeliness comes from the fact that Whitby is on the verge of having a Recrea- tion Director of its own, as soon as a suitable one can be found, and because community recreation is receiving much thought these days. The sincerity came from the speak- er's own belief in the importance of the work, and in the importance of putting his message across. He laid particular emphasis on the point that recreation does not mean just baseball and hockey games, but means many other acti- vities including cultural and musi- cal training. He also insisted that recreation is not for the young oniy, but for the adults as well. Held Back By War "This question of recreation is a large one," he began, "and we sometimes wonder where it is taking us. What is happening now is not just for the 'young people, because you have more leisure time than you did years ago, and so have more time to spend on recreation." "This is nothing new, so there is no cause to panic over the re. newed interest in spare time acti vities. It had its origin in Greece. What is happening now is long overdue. It is mi up now because it was held back durmg the war. The war showed up our deca- dent thinking and the effect of our sedentary life, particularly in the number of men rejected by the army as unfit." He spoke of people in the army, who grew up not far from here and who could neither read nor write. He. continued by saying that we are given bodies built for living outdoors, in the sunlight, and then we get little sunlight. We sit most of the time. We keep our children in tenement-resembling schools for most of the sunlight hours. He ex- plained different education meth- ods used in Denmark, which he had inspected while on a course there prior to the war. He talkéd about the "youth hostels," which are gradually being organized in Can- ada to TS for hikers and bicyclists. Community Must Work Together. "Recréation in Canada is begin- ning to mean something," he went on. "Never before has there been a more spontaneous move towards # in this country." "We need gobd leadership and a minimum of political jockeying for power. . In this work the whole community should work together, and true recreation should represent all the people in the town." "True recreation is not just base. ball or hockey, but many other community activities, dramstics, leadership training as in the Scouts end Guides, music, crafts and hob- bies. It takes a group to provide these facilities, and they do nut have to be elaborate." "We can't afford to leave these things to chance. Either we think about and take care of them in our own communities or commercial interests will take over, witn no supervision." He pointed out that Recent Graduate MISS GLADYS GILL Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gill of Port Whitby, who was ene of the seven nuvses graduating from the Ontario Hospital Training School in August. --Photo by Hornsby Studio aimed at providing interests for the younger people o! the town so that they would nut :all into baa habits and. would have the benefit of trained leaders. Here To Be Useful He concluded bv saying taat "re creation is a catalyst. In a com- munity like youis it will bring all the organizations and service clubs together on a common grouni be- csuse they are part of the work, The director ot Recreation will not come here to run it, bui merely to help and to offer assistance wher- ever it will he useful Your dire ector is only anuther citizen of the town who can help you to do the things you waat to do." He was thanked br John R. Fiost, a member of Whithy's Recreav'cn Committee, who expressed the in. terest that all the Rotarians bad felt in Mr. Coieman's words. Planners Start Clean-up Drive To Beautify Town Members of the Town Planning Board have started a campaign to tidy up Whitby. They would like to see less refuse around the streets, fewer untidy yards and business premises, and they intend to plant trees along some of the streets to improve their appearance. This iis & long range plan, but they are asking for co-operation from all Whitby residents towards gaining their goal of a clean and attractive town, They specially condemn the dumping of refuse on or near the streets, as can be seen alongside private homes as well as factories and stores. And they think untidy yards should be tidied up and fenced in, Also they would like to see no more businesses situ- ated almost on the street. In this program they ask for the co-opera- tion of all Whitbyites. Another long-term objective is to fill in all ditches along the high- ways, putting in storm sewers where uilding perm inquire of other municipalities the results of their "urban development" bylaws. They have recommended a similar bylaw a great part of the program was § THURSDAY - FRIDAY - SATURDAY Two Shows at 6:45 and 9:00. Saturday Matinee at 1:30 { ig to' thie. Town Council, 0.L.C.

The last shot missed its goal by an inch and the trophy, which has been played for annually since 1922, went to the Markham team of E. Wurm, R. Miller and W. Reesor with three wins for 53. Other prize winners were H. Cole- man, R. Knox and J. Detcher, from Peterborough who were second high for three wins, with 51, two points behind the leaders.

Plans For New School Ready Soon, Board Told Whitby Schools Are Still Crowded Say Principals' Reports--Trustees Want Traffic Signs At All Schools : Problems keep at the Board of Education, and 1ast night's meeting was no exception, The ques- tion of traffic signs near the schools. drew considerable comment, ag did the.question of whether soap containers would be more efficient than the ordinary cake of soap. However the Trustees received some comfort from R. A. Sennett's re- port on Whitby's Public Schools when they were told that there were more boys than girls at the schools. Exact figures showed the totals, by gender, to be boys--279, and girls--255. More serious were the other prob- lems, such as the crowding of the schools and getting new teachers. A letter from J. B. Parkin, the ar- chitect drawing up plans for the proposed Dundas Street East' Pub- lic School, stated that the plans and specifications would be com- pleted by next week, and it was de- &ided to ask the architect to attend a special meeting of the Board to discuss the question of finding a contractor. Traffic Problem Chairman F. J. McIntyre first mentioned the traffic giems saying that a parent near the Brock Street School had told him that the bridge crossing the C.N.R. tracks oh Brock Street South was very dan- gerous for children, as they crossed the road almost at that point to get to the school and the arch of the bridge made it unsafe for the youngsters. Trustee Harry Bracey mentioned the intersection at Centre Street and Colborne as one that seemed bad to him, and was supported by Trustee D, J. Kean, The board had almost- decided to have new signs erected when Mr, Kean mentioned that in the county these signs were paid for by the county and that such was probably the case In town too. Therefore it was moved that the town be asked to erect school warning signs at all schools and particularly at the Brock Street bridge, - Next problem was how much a student should pay to attend Whit- by High School if he 1s not a resi- dent of the district. The present fee is $10 per month, or $100 per year, but with the increased pro- vincial grants the per capita cost to the town of educating students has decreased considerably. Opin- jon at the meeting was that the fees should be lowered to a figure close to the cost, and it was left in the hands of the Finance Committee to reach a decision and bring it in at the next meeting. .
