L. Coleman Tp {illustrate his talk to the 'members and friends of the Girl Guide Association at their annual general meeting last night Mr. R. L, Coleman used effective display cards bearing such slogans as "Man Is An Adventurer", "Re- creation' Is Mainly Concerned With Normal People" and "Plan- ned Community Recreation Is Not a Charity". These slogans were Hs key to his remarks on Recrea. tion He praised the work of the Guides and Brownies, admitting that unfortunately he had never been one. However, he did make plain that their work was very much a part of the Community Recreation plan. He pointed out that the meaning of the word had changed of recent years, that at one time it meant games and was both incidental and accidental. Recreation, or the planned use of leisure, is now taking its rightful place beside formal education, Mr. Coleman said, as part of a train- ing for life, "Is it not deplorable," he asked, "that many youngsters passing through Juvenile Court experience their first taste of supervised re- creation in an institution? Is it not disarming to consider how much is spent on improvements for homes for the insane and so comparatively little spent for the guidance and development of the normal person?" The idea that organized recrea- tion is a necessity in the develop- ment of character is expanding rapidly, he said, and acknowledged as a safeguard to democracy. As director of the Oshawa Com- munity Recreation Association he commended' the fine work that the Guides Association was doing and concluded by wishing them good luck and good Guiding.
