One of the factors that has made the job easier this year, he said, was the delivery of special sticker-labels for local jbundles of mail.

She is a member of the Audi- torium Board of Directors which recommended a $300,000 pool at the. Auditorium site. away when the brief was sub- mitted to the Centennial Com- mittee last June and she says she has not seen a copy. Richard Donald, fourth new- comer, made no definite state- ment on a project in his reply |to the centennial question in the jsurvey. -- PROBLEM IS MONEY Mayor Lyman Gifford says the problem is money, "We can't build a pooi for | $182,000.

Thé city is budgeting $16,000 this year, and in each of the next three years, to take care of its share. Location of the pool is also a problem. DAFOE LONE OBJECTOR Retiring Ald. Finley Dafoe registered the lone objection on the Auditorium pool vote. He was for the pool, but wanted it at the Auditorium site. The motion which passed car- ried the stipulation that location would be decided later. Mayor Gifford said then the |city's 'program should be neigh- borhood pools ("Let's take the pools to the children, not the children to the pools') and he got three architects to submit cost proposals. * One proposal was based on a Scarborough collegiate pool, a "quonset-hut type'? which was built six years ago for less than | the city's centennial grant. Another architect told council | a realistic base-price for a pool is $230,000, OBJECT TO DESIGN j Same aldermen objected to the' design, saying it (the. quonset- type) was not a pool the city | would be proud to claim as its centennial project. | | It was pointed out too, | | that the pool envisaged for the | Auditorium site as Stage Two in the recreation-complex de- velopment bore no comparison! to a "quonset-hut pool". | It was suggested that if the| Auditorium site were chosen,| then the pool design should be| changed. And, with the change, the price would jump, This tied the location problem in directly with the pool cost. MANY PAPERS' Residents of Tokyo have a daily choice of 21. different newspapers published in the Japanese capital. i Several aldermen emphasized the Auditorium site is the only place to put the pool because of a saving on land preparation cost and the provision of serv- parties for Diabetic children of the community, the children of |the Church School and Happy {Doubles Club. | The Explorers will be en- {tertaining the senior citizens of Hillsdale Manor and the church.

FINE BRIEF "The United Church of Can- ada presented a fine brief. They pointed out "that the ultimate purpose of planning by society in regard to the aged is to provide care commensurate with need so that the aged may live as securely, as fully, as freely and as self-reliantly as their state. of mind and body permits."" They recommended a Health Insurance Plan at mini- |mum cost to the aged; hospital jinsurance be extended to Nur- sing Homes; that an extensive publicity program be introduced stressing the importance of nu- trition to the well-being of older people; chronic care wings be provided for elderly citizens in local hospitals; the promotion of senior citizens clubs and the providing full course meals at regular intervals.

No longer the bone chilling cold which froze the midwest, it nevertheless loosed snow squalls on the eastern shores of the Great Lakes and bored into the north and mid-- Atlantic states carrying the promise of zero weather in the North Caro- mountains. It was. near zero in northern Maine. Freezing air extended to the Gulf Coast and nearly to the south tip of Téxas. But the 30- below temperatures that grip- ped Montana are gone.
