that

of

immediately.
Engagement
of
a,
full-time,
qualified

in

Is
one
of
the
primary
re
quirements
of
the
scheme.
At
two
meetings
with
local
service

recently,
Gerry

will
be
financing
the

which
even
at
the
start,
may
run
to
well

$200
a

Only

is

To
this
a
contribution
of
$25

is
made
by
the
provincial
Pro-Rec
authority.
In
spite
of
fine
volunteer
effort
on
the
part
of
Boilermakers'
Union
members
and
Kinsmen,
scope
of
the
work
has
been
limited,
inspiring
recognition
of
the
need
for
a
more
sweeping
recreational
plan.
It
Is
likely
that
Pro-Rec
may
increase
its
contribution
to
at
least
$50
a
month
and
that
the
city,
the

It
is

that

close
co-operation
with
the

In

on

"The
Canadian
nation
cannot
exist
without
unity.
It
cannot
have
unity
without
equal
sharing
of
responsibilities
as
well
as
rights.
Disunity
reigns
today
in

more
than
ever
before
In

history.
It
Is
the
fruit
of
27
years
of
false

We
must
retrace
those,
steps.
Let

hope,
nay,
let
us
determine
that
wc
shall
retrace
them
In
sanity,
In
tolerance,
In
understanding
and,
above
all,
in
Peace."
