Description | Red Brick building At a well-attended meeting of the Methodist Church congregation on Tuesday night it was decided to proceed with the building of a War Memorial Youth Centre. The proposed building will contain a modern assembly hall with extended stage and projection room, library, reception room, junior departments, kindergarten and gymnasium. It is also intended to provide facilities for Christian teaching on Sundays and intense cultural activity with a Christian emphasis throughout the week. The building will be erected beside the new church. The Rev. N. W. Lickiss, who presided at the meeting, said that during the war there had been intense activity by the church in the interests of the young people of the Services, and in his opinion the needs of were as important today. He said that people in every walk of life were showing interest in community centre work, and it was the responsibility of the church to give a Christian emphasis to such work. "No more fitting memorial," he said, "could be erected to the young people who made the supreme sacrifice in the cause of freedom and civilisation than a Christian Youth Centre, in which shall be nurtured young people of character and vision bent on making a new world."
