Coming Events Center Ss Branch Out With Social Activity A new development in the activity of Provincial Recreation Centres is beginning to take shape this season along the line of opening classes in various cultural pursuits. In the musical field, the ice has already been broken by for- mation of a Pro-Ree orchestra. Several registrations for prac- tise have now been made and mem- bers of the executive staff are loolk- ing ahead to the day when Pro- dtecs lead in the musical as well as physical field. Folk dancing has also become a regular feature at some centers. Agassiz Pro-Rees are considering Staging a Mixed Folk Dance for their coming gymnastic display on December 9. Duncan Center is also reported to be toying with the idea. Socially, the Genters are becom- ing the actual center of their re- spective community in staging en- tertainments and dances. The first annual dance for all Vancouver centers is scheduled for Palomar Ballroom on December 29. Archery has also become popular. Registration for Leitha Meilicke’s Tuesday night archery classes at St. Augustine’s Hall has increased to the point where two classes are necessary. NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, Dec. i.

Worth Vancouver reacked 164 percent, with 71 per- eent of its objective in subscrip- tions. Burnaby i57 percent, West Vancouver 121, Hastings Bast 118 and South Vancouver 87 percent. After careful consideration, Rav— enor said, the committee decided that results could not be fairly judged solely on percentage of ob- jective reached. So that commit- tees’ standines would be based on political as well as financial re sults, the central drive committee applied a system of awarding one point for each percentage of total objective reached, two points for each percentage of money raised by local events, and four points. for each percentage of money raised by selling subscriptions. With 583 points, Quesnel led Nor- therm BGC, and won the press drive banner for the most outstanding achievement in the province. 87 percent of Quesnel’s objective was reached by subscription, 12 percent by local events, and 211 percent of its total objective. Grandview with 563 points was leading committee of Greater Van- ecouver and winner of the trophy presented by the city press com- mittee. Grandview obtained 61 per- cent of its objective in subserip- tions. Langley led the Fraser Valley with a score of 469 points with 83 percent of its objective in subscrip- tions. Salmon Arm fonged ahead in the Okanagan, reaching 161 per- cent of its objective, 61 percent of which was gained by subscriptions. Victoria led all Vancouver Island with a score of 487 points, 77 per cent of its objective as subserip- tions. f As such exceptional scores have been made by committees near top place, the Central Drive committee has announced special awards. Gibson’s Landing will receive Lenin’s Collected Works for a score of 553 points, as also will Prince Rupert for 547 points. Vancouver Center, Victoria 487, and Langley commit- tee 469 will receive copies of Dimi- trotfis “United Front.” With an objective of $600 the national groups led the district or- Eanisations with a total of $675.72. The German Canadian club fol- lowed with 146 percent, Russian elub 126, Serbian club 126, Croatian Society 121, Swedish-Finnish club 118, ULFTA 114, Scandinavian 117, Doukhobors 105, Slovak Cultural club 93, ICOR 78, Finnish 100, Let- tish club donations of $7.75 and Polish club $11.75.

The $900 objective of the district organisation realised $935.07. cluded Drive manager Ravenor reports that revenue from sale of subserip-— tions has been larger than in any preceding drive, 74 more subscrip- tions being sold than in October, 1937.
