    Two of the trainees received prizes for swimming, one a Silver Cup, and the other a Shield. Another trainee who had been in the centre for nearly 4 years, is now married, and is settling down happily as a housewife. Four trainees have been placed in employ- ment during the year, and all appear to have settled down in their employment and their new environment. The Centre now boasts a football team, parents have fitted their sons with football boots, jerseys and stockings will be bought, and it is hoped to arrange fixtures with other centres and boys’ clubs. The boys have had several five-a-side games which they have thoroughly enjoyed. All the trainees and staff were twice entertained by the Ellesmere Port branch of the British Legion at their headquarters. Three coffee evenings were arranged between parents and staff, at which “helpful and healthy” discussions took place in a very friendly atmosphere. Friday afternoons, work permitting, is usually devoted to social activities, country dancing, etc. The Shell Refinery has presented the Centre with an 8 m.m. Cine Projector, and an 8 m.m. Camera, both of which will be used for filming activities of the centre and showing of educational films. The projector will be of particular value to the Social Training Unit.
