Support Your Civic Centre IN AID of the Civic Centre, definitely is WORK labor in behalf of the city, as any who pause long enough to consider the community Cen-treVrecord for the last'yearwillTigfee. 'But it is a work that can only be completely successful if the citizens assist it with that affirmative response that means more memberships. Today, Prince Rupert's 1947-48 Civic Centre membership drive begins. Its objective is to have every man, woman and child in the city enrolled. For the next two, possibly three weeks, teams of canvassers will give hours of their time for the Civic Centre, and for the good of Prince Rupert. The Civic Centre has aptly been described as "the heart of ,the community." In its first year of operation, that heart beat with a vigorous pulse, but the body it serves, and its yardstick of service, have both been expanding steadily, so the nourishment that it musst require, also is growing. Prince Rupert is. a city with an esstimated population 0 i),UUU. its uvic venire is one wnica is the envy of practically all other towns and cities in the Dominion. Last March, alone, 26,000 people entered the Civic Centre, making use of its facilities in one way or another. Yet here is the catch in Prince Rupert last year, there were only 2,200 Civic Centre members! Obviously, those 2,200 members did not each use the Civic Centre thirteen times during the month. There were thousands of others who enjoyed its facilities and conveniences without contributing to its support. Tn this vpjiv's r.'invass. everv home in the city will be asked to take out .memberships family memberships. If every home did that, normal operating costs of the Centre could be met, and expanded cultural and entertainment programs provided without financial strain. In short, the Civic Centre could fulfil its purpose with funds provided by the people it is dedicated to serve. And that is the way it should be. Greet your Civic Centre canvasser courteously and become a member!
