Sir-What is wrong with your townplanners? They have designed a whole town complete with shops, schools, factories, and railroads-and left out a community centre. Don’t they’! read the women’s magazines and the weekly journals? Don’t they realise that a community centre is the heart, the soul. the life blood, the. intellectual powerhouse (running at half capacity) of every modern community? No modern architect, sir, plans a town He merely sets down on the appropriate spot'a community centre and the town naturally wraps itself around it growing like the pearl in the oyster and taking its light from within. And yet this upstart fellow plans a whole city without a community centre. Tut, tut, sir! it won’t work. Listen to the radio lecturers, %he newspaper leader writers, the ten-year planners, the social studies teachers. Retter still-come
here.
