What‘s more, we hope that we interâ€" ested you enough to have you visit these activities and see for yourself what is going on and forming your own opinâ€" ion as to their value. How.shall 1 say what I want to say now? It‘s about the meaning behind all we are doâ€" ing. There is a story about a chap who, travelling by biâ€" cycle on a dark country road, was directed to turn left at the first light, right at the next and to drive right beâ€" tween the next two and go straight on. The story ends abruptly because, following inâ€" structions, he did drive beâ€" tween the last two lights, those of an automobile. The last that was seen of him was that he and his bicycle were flying off in all directions. There is grave danger that people who promote programâ€" mes become so energetically imbued with activity that they lose themselves in them and lose sight of the reason for and the meaning behind the and the activities. Doing things just for the sake of keeping active may not be downright bad but it surely is a great wastage of effort. Directing effort to a desirable end is just as surely the reason for the doing. What do crafts for adults do? Well, according to two people who have participated in them under the guidance of their physicians, the crafts helped them to regain their mental and spiritual equiliâ€" brium. They afforded the means by which these two reâ€" gained the confidence in their ability to live normally. Others have satisfied their longing to make something and do it well. To a few â€" mothers who, having brought up their famiâ€" lies and finding time on their hands, crafts have filled many an otherwise tiresome hour. Some crafts, begun as a passâ€" time have led to fullâ€"time ocâ€" cupation. All in all they have proved to be positively helpâ€" ful, not merely stopâ€"gaps to Doing â€"Things _ |Waterlso Comty To by DON McLAREN We are educators, you know, else the work we do becomes ineffective and wasteful. We operate, (The Waterloo Reâ€" creation Commission) not only under local civic administraâ€" tive authority but also under the Ontario Department of Education from which we reâ€" ceive our annual â€" financial grant. An archery club teaches discipline since lack of it would result in serious inâ€" juries. It teaches coâ€"ordination of brain and muscle. It deveâ€" lops such a skill as is not atâ€" tainable in many other activiâ€" ties. It is a clean activity and uncostly in our hands. Children‘s activities such as the Waterloo Branch of the Junior Humane Society, the Saturday â€" Morning â€" Bowling, the Majestic Puppeteers, Arâ€" chery, the Saturday Morning Art Class, are not merely to keep children off the streets. It used to be that a few people felt that some of these activiâ€" ties kept children from doing their homework. That is not the popular idea now, becouse, for one matter, being in the field of education it would be foolish for us to work in opâ€" position to established authâ€" orities in the field of formal education. A puppet club is a good developer of artistic abilities in many directions. There is need for actors, costume and puppet makers, stage setters etc. All the workers of a fullâ€" sized theatre presentation. A high degree of coâ€"operation and coâ€"ordination is one of the prime requisites. Who would deny that all of these outlets do not develop children in deâ€" sirable and helpful channels. Similar elements come out of the other programmes but these, let us stress, are derived only under trained leadership who recognize that the activiâ€" ties are but the means to the meaning and the end. We have been, we are and we shall continue to train leaâ€" ders. The Waterloo Recreaâ€" tion Commission is in the busiâ€" ness of preserving, through development, the human valâ€" ues among the people of Waâ€" terloo, regardless of â€" race, creed, colour, economic status or any other creature. We are also an assisting body, legally constituted and functioning, to help all others similarly intenâ€" tioned. Let‘s all do things, things of worth and meaning, not only going meaninglessly in all diâ€" rection. a miserably idle existence. Hobbies come out of crafts as one of the very pleasurable results. There are many more. Thursday, October 6, 1956 . Exchange numerals to be used in Kitchener and Waterâ€" loo are "2", "3" and "5", and a typical Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo telephone number might be "SHerwood 2â€"1234". In St. Jacobs, "MOhawk 4" will be the prefix of all numbers, and in Elmira, "MOhawk 9" will be used. Thus â€" "MOhawk 4â€"1234" would be a typical number in St. Jacobs, and "MOhawk 9â€"1234", in Elmira. The new numbering system is better designed to allow for continued expansion of the telephone network, and conâ€" forms to a uniform numbsring plan â€" gradually being inâ€" troduced throughout Canada and the United States â€" which requires that all numbers conâ€" sist of two letters and five figures, Mr. Holland said. Under the new system all telephones served by the three exchanges will have numbers consisting of the first two letâ€" ters of an exchange name â€" ‘"SHerwood" in Kitchener and Waterloo and "MOhawk" in St. Jacobes and Elmira â€" plus an exchange numeral and four other figures. 500 Enter Xâ€"Ray Slogan Contest Waterloo and _ Kitchener telephone numbers will be changed to include the exâ€" change â€" name â€" "SHerwood" earnly Sunday morning, Decemâ€" ber 4, C.
