YOUTH CLUBS HAVE A LOT TO OFFER


I HAVE read with great interest the letters written by Miss Bond and Mr Mussoh. I would suggest to Miss Bond that she should go to one of the local youth clubs (Trinity, Congregational, St Mary’s, or the Catholic YC, etc) and ask the leader


there what the club has to offer. There are many, many


activities, some sponsored by county youth organisations,


which could be organised if the members, especially the 14-21 age group, would show any interest.

It is not possible to determine from the lists how. much will have to be paid In rates on each property until the local councils set the rate in the pound. That there will be an increase is inevitable and in the present financial situation it will be extremely difficult to hold it to the 5 or 6 per cent. norm.
