Shocked By Request For Athletic Aid MONTREAL (CPI Federal Health Minister Martin said Tucs- day he was shocked by a recent- requcst to have the federal gov- ernment put up 325300.000 to pro- vide better athletic facilities in Canada. Mr. Martin did not dis- close the name of the organiza- tion that made the request. but he said it was one devoted to phys- ical fitness and sport. He was ad- dressing delegates attending a discussion on the value of recre- ational programs. If the time has come when Canadians must depend upon the government to provide sports fac- ilities then "our whole fabric is tottering." said Mr. Martin. He said the connection between adequate recreational programs and facilities and mental health is very close. particularly in this age of increased leisure. but the gov- ernment does not have primary re- sponsibility in the recreation field. family Cross Roads Women's institute Margaret Norton and Derek Dcir Mrs. Elizabeth Gaudet Eunice and Bill Margaret and Ernest Anderson Lomar Ann and family Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Peardon and family CUT FLOWERS Lona and Frank Storey Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Wood Mary and Al Gaudct Jack and Laura MacPhziil Elsworth and family.
