Lions support plea for

Development of the | school

urged by Wilf Hurd, who serv-
ed as chairman of this city’s

Hurd has won the support of
fcilow Lions Club members who
have pledged their support for
improved sport facilities in
White Rock

Mr. Hurd points out that at
teast 90 young boys were turn-
ed away last spring when the
baseball leagues were being or-
ganized entirely due to the lack
of play space on the school
Grounds on the Hilltop.

Mr. Hurd feels he can get

as the Lions to develop the

He is opposed to the deyel-
opment of the Ruth Johnston
