This type of plan is being used with great success at the St. Albans Boys' Club, Toronto; also a sim- ilar type of building was design- ed and built by Pentland and Baker for Dovercourt Boys' Club, Toronto. These two build- ings are the most modern type in this field; each having a membership of more than 800 boys and 400 girls. Club membership in Oshawa will be open to all boys and girls, between 7 and 17 -- no religious or racial barriers will be permitted in the operation of the club. Girls will have the ex- clusive use of the club on Mon- days and Thursdays.
