A. S.M. Jubilee Recreation
Association Holds Annual
Meeting--- Directors Elected

A great deal of interest was taken
in the annual meeting of the Abbots-
ford-Sumas-Matsqui Jubilee Recrea-
tion Association, Limited, held in the
Jubilee hall on Tuesday evening of
this week.

The Jubilee hall, erected by commu-
nity effort, has wonderfully well filled
& great need in the community during
the past year. There is no more com-
modious or comfortable building in
this section of the province for dances,
public meetings or other large. gather-
ings. The building came into existence
as the result of the courage, enterprise
and unselfish spirit of a few Abbots-
ford people and residents of the local
district.

A big task has been undertaken and
accomplished with undaunted courage
and with a remarkable degree of suc-
cess, but the newly-elected directors
have planned a most elaborate and
complete program for the future.
The meeting on Tuesday evening
was mainly to hear the report of the
work done during the past year and
to elect directors and make plans for
the future. A vote of thanks was ten-
dered the retiring officers and direc-
tors for the successful manner -in
which they had carried on, and as a
slight token for the services rendered
by ©. Walker, as secretary, he was
voted a share of fully-paid stock ia
the association.

J. Gilmour thamked yery kindly

assisted himy during his term as man-
aging director, and he hoped "that
even a greater measure of co-opera-
tion be enjoyed by his successor.

M. Shore, H. F. Thorn, J. M. Rowley,
C. F. Weir, J. Gilmour, E. S. Plaxton
and G. F. Pratt.

Mr. Plaxton was elected by the new
board as managing director, and Mr.
Pratt as secretary-treasurer. On ac-
cepting their new offices both the
managing director and the secretary-
treasurer promised to do their best to
make the year a pleasant and profit~
able one for the association.

Several committees were appointed
