By Monday night there were 48 present. These represented 36 orâ€" ganizations _ closely _ associated withthe Commission. There are a number more with whom we work occasionally. All this made Dave Dooley, Ed. Devitt, Jim Mcâ€" yeod and me feel pretty proud. Ald. Harry Gould, finance chairâ€" man, was in charge and after he had cieared the matter of the amount of money we required to do a worthy recreation job, he opâ€" pgned the meeting to anyone who cared to make any comment. There were nine representatives who spoke and some of them, W:‘! Buffet, for instance, Presiâ€" dent of the Jolly Oldsters, got a real big hand. Dr. Archie Case, President of the Lions Club made a very clear and forceful presentaâ€" tion and Ed. Devitt who is a Proâ€" vincial Recreation officer brought out some very pertinent facts conâ€" cerning the role of public recreaâ€" tion especially in hard times, a depression, for instance.
