Approximately 90 employees of the Blake and Johnson Recreation Bowling Society enjoyed the annual banquet Saturday evening at the Quaker Inn. The party was climax ed by the installation of officers.

ada and he was the first one ever to be crowned specifically King of Canada. His coronation was with a definite reference to Canada as a nation "equal in status" with the United Kingdom and all other Brit ish dominions and with its own king. Other monarchs had been crowned King of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas" with Canada still considered British possession" In 1926 Canada led the British dominions into full nationhood. They brought about at the Im- perial Conference of that year the Declaration of London, confirming Canada's full autonomy, with the crown the only empire link. To- day, only the Canadian govern ment can advise the King on any affair respecting the dominion.
 The Kings permanent represen- tative in Canada is Lord Weeds muir, the governor-general, sent to Canada from England with the con- sent of the Canadian government. But Lord Tweedsmuir, after greet ing Their Majesties, will fade into the background, remain in Ottawa while the King and Queen go tour ing.
 The Prime Minister will accom- pany the royal party on their journey. The program for the visit is under his direction with de- tails being handled by the Under Secretary of State.
 In each province the leading dignitaries will be the dominion cab inet ministers from the province. The lieutenant-governors. Cana dians who represent the Crown in the provinces, will be in charge of affairs.
 King George decided to visit Canada on the suggestion of Prime Minister King at the time the premier was in London for the coronation and advised His Majesty on Canadian affairs. The King agreed, but before the trip could be undertaken, the consent of his British prime minister was necessary.
 The Canadian government has appropriated $350,0d0 for the. royal tour and an additional $75,000 for the program in the Capital. Most of the $350,000 will be spent on trans- portation. Each province will bear the cost of entertaining the Kings party in its own domain and each city will finance its own show.
 And while the King is in Canada, the King can do no wrong. The Prime Minister must shoulder all

ties already mentioned show the trend toward diversification and the attempt to cater to older persons. The development of night lighting of softball diamonds, tennis, bad hinton and volleyball courts and athletic areas shows the trend to- ward getting the maximum use of existing facilities without much add- ed cost. There is a trend also toward the construction of hard surface courts which permit multiple use and low maintenance cost.
 The men and women in Connecticut who have been active in the sup port of community recreation as sponsors of the National Recreation Association are: Richard G. Croft Greenwich; Mrs. Irving Fisher, New Haven; John H. Goss, Waterbury; Miss Dorothy Heroy, Stamford; MT. William Thurston Hincks, Bridge. port; Mrs. Charles L. Lanier, Green. which and William H.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-04

Steady advances in municipal rec reation in Connecticut are reported by Mrs. Charles D. Lanier, a mem Der of the board of directors, in a review of the work of the National Recreation Association in the state during 1888. Notable in the progress reported is the improve ment and addition of recreation areas and facilities. This was note worthy in Bridgeport, Greenwich, New Haven, New Britain, Norwalk, Stamford and Torrington.
 Coincident with Mrs. Lanier's statement the sponsors of the asso- citation in numerous Connecticut cities issued local appeals for the extension of recreation and for needed support of the associatoin. A new playground was construct ed in Bridgeport. In Greenwich taxpayers approved $20,000 appro- priation for the purchase of a play ground tract. New Britain built a new archery range. Norwalk added a playfield. Stamford athletes dedi- cated an athletic field and stadium The organization of a community drama association was completed in Greenwich. Hartford has expanded its drama, music and craft activi- ties.
 Services Chester H. Smith, representative of the National Recreation Associa- ton, gave service to the following communities: Bridgeport, Green wich, Hartford, New Haven, Stam- ford, West Hartford, Derby, Meri- den, New Britain, Watertown, Fair cid, Riverside.
 The associations specialist on re- creation facilities prepared plans for a new children's playground and shelter in Torrington. Particular emphasis was given by the associa- tion to helping local committees study the accepted standards in re- creation and toward securing mai mum efficiency of service under pres ent appropriations as well as pro- gram expansion.
 On request service was given to the newly organized Connecticut Re- creation Association, group of pro- fessional and lay leaders in recrea- ton. The association reports in- creased demands for service in the state.
 Trends
 Current trends in municipal rec reation according to the report are in the direction of increased diversi- fication of facilities and activit.e~ in- creased service to young people 1925 years of age and to older adults, increased attention to the training of personnel and attempts to secure the most efficient operatoin of exist ing facilities. The increase of archery ranges, horseshoe courts, and shuffleboard courts as well as facili-
