Minas STEWART DYKSTAR PONDERS . . - Meditation Is Important Neighborhood Associations Holds Awards Night Show The Central Council of Neigh- bourhood Associations held its annual Awards Night January 28 Recognition was given to those who have contributed to recreation in the City of Osh- awa by serving Central Council and their respective Neighbor- hood Associations. Head table guests were: Mr. W. Brewster, Director of Re- creation, Controller Frank McCallum and wife, Mr, John Muzik and wife, President of C.C.N.A. Mr. Fred Ellegett and wife, M.C. Fred Williams and wife and guest speaker Con- troller Robert Nicol. President Ellegett pointed out the tremendous amount of man- hours contributed voluntarily by Neighborhood Association mem- bers for sports alone. If professionals were hired it would take 25 employees work- ing 50 weeks per year at 40 hours per week. At a salary of $5,000 each this would cost the city $125,000 per year. This does not include the many hours spent by community-minded in- dividuals who accept executive positions in their Neighbour- hood Association, accept posi- tions on committees and sub- committees and all those people who regularly attend the meet- ings of the Neighbourhood As- sociation in their area. Controller Frank McCallum explained that the letter receiv- ed by the Board of Control from C.C.N.A., in which a request was made to reinstate a recrea- tion committee including lay representation, was being care- fully considered. He assured the assembly that C.C.N.A. mem- bers would be pleased with the final decision. Five C.C.N.A. workers re- ceived Life Membership Certifi- cates for long service. Mr. R. R. Cornish made the presenta- tion to Mr. Colin LavVallee, Sunnyside; Mr. Del Olmstead, Bathe; Mr. Carson Heard, North Oshawa; Mr. Frank Densham, Fernhill past President of I didn't see members that can verify this statement "When you don't see it, it is) They meet at the Sir Albert ' called chess blindness," , says "All chess players! pr 0 ttims | Club Opens Welcome Door pweaté 'For Newcomers In Chess in the Oshawa club|that they only get out to club twice a month."

Inscribed on the plaque are the words 'In recognition of his dedication and outstanding con- tribution through continual ef- fort to increase the availablity of opportunity in our commun- ity for wholesome, constructive and creative use of leisure." Director of Recreation, W. Brewster, noted that inevitable changes will be made in our society which affect directly the role of recreation at the Pro- vincial and Municipal levels.
