AKAROA'S PHYSICAL WELFARE EFFORT
'J'HE vari ms fixtures, spread over
the pas', lortnight, in connection with Akaroa's physical and mental welfare effort were undoubtedly successful. This is
Akaroa's fu*st attempt in this d?r-
ei tion and at leapt some of the
functions hCxd go to show that
there are many in the town and
district willing to take part in
rc!iviities, especially evening recreation, and that there is cer-
tainly a lacl: of organisation to
provide young- people with more
evening' recreation. There is certainly no dearth of daytime sport,
as the sports clubs provide a wide fic.d both winter and summer, but r; 1 ch more eovld be done for or-

other forms of. evening entertainment, and act as a club on tlie lines of the Pioneer club in Christchurch, where evening entertainment on a wide scale is provided. Sueh a club could embrace young
and old and serve a most useful purpose if organised and controll-
cd on proptr lines
