SUPPORT
YOUR
CIVIC
CENTRE
Described
authoritatively
as
a
pioneer
project
of
its
type,
unique
throughout
Canada,
Prince
Rupert's
Civic
Centre
is
entering
its
first
complete
year
of
Community
Service.
Next
week,
it
is
putting
on
a
concentrated
membership
drive,
soliciting
the
support
of
Prince
Rupert
citizens
in
its
building
and
programs
which
already
have
begun
to
pay
dividends
in
healthful
recreation
and
entertainment.
Value
of
the
Civic
Centre
is
unquestioned
by
the
majority
of
people.
However,
the
need
for
its
support
probably
is
not
as
widely
realized
as
is
might
be.
The
value
of
membership
in
the
Civic
Centre,
its
leaders
feel,
is
so
great
that
if
every
family
were
to
take
out
one
family
subscription,
its
unhampered
activities
in
behalf
of
the
people
would
be
assured.
It
is
a
simple
matter
of
arithmetic.
There
are
an
estimated
2,200
families
living
in
Prince
Rupert.
An
annual
family
membership
costs
$12.
If
each
were
to
take
out
a
membership,
the
working
fund
for
the
Civic
Centre
would
be
$24,000
or
better
a
year.
Compare
this
sum
with
'
.the
$17,500
budget,
an
absolute
minimum,
drawn
up
for
this
year's
operations,
and
it
can
be
seen
that
the
Centre
would
be
in
a
position
to
provide
a
widened
field
of
recreation
for
the
citizens.
If
every
family
in
the
city
were
to
take
out
a
membership,
there
would
he
no
necessity
to
make
additional
charges
for
any
of
the
activities
which
go.
on
within
the
Civic
Centre,
according
to
its
managing
director,
Don
Forward.
This
however,
he
added,
is
reserved
for
some
happy
future
date
when
the
community
organization
is
functioning
on
a
settled
basis.
Tribute
to.
the
Civic
Centre
as
an
agency
in
curbing
juvenile
delinquency
was
recently
paid
bv
a
man
who
is
in
a
position
to
have
an
"inside
view
of
current
juvenile
tendencies.
He
is
Police
Magistrate
W.
D.
Vance,
who
is
also
juvenile
Court
Judge.
"There
is
no
doubt
that
even
in
its
short
period
of
operation
the
-Civic
Centre
has
been
of
great
value
in
keeping
the
young
people
busy
and
out
of
trouble,"
he
said.
"Delinquency
among
the
young
people
of
the
city
has
lessened
considerably
within
the
last
six
months,
and
I
certainly
feel
that
the
work
of
the
Civic
Centre
has
been
a
factor."
.
.
,
Thus,
from
the
standpoint
of
its
inherent
community
cultural
possibilities
and
its.
wholesome
effect
on
our
young
people,
a
Civic
Centre
membership
is
a
"good
buy".
