SEARCHING investigations into the entertainment needs of young people in Hamilton may result from a public meeting in Hamilton on Monday night. The entertainment needs of youth in the city will be studied by a committee of 20 which was appointed at the meeting. A second and more far-reaching survey of social needs was referred to the Hamilton Community Needs Organisation for consideration. The meeting was called by the Hamilton City Council in an attempt to arrange a youth forum. Two important resolutions came from the meeting. One was to establish a committee of 20 to co-ordinate arrangements for a detailed questionnaire on entertainment to be circulated throughout Hamilton youth centres, organisations and schools.
