bodies many mctivities spread out in many directions, but basically it is concerned with the young people of the community and in the final analysis its use to the city will be judged by how well it succeeeeds in providing healthful and educational recreation for its young men and women. At the present time there is little in the way of interesting diversion in the community for the ‘teen age youngster during the after school and earlf evening peâ€" riods.

Community Service Inc, emâ€" So much for the physicial equipâ€" ment and contemplated program for Community Service, Inc. Let us conclude this resume by examining just what is behind the organizaâ€" tion and just what it means to the citizens of Highland Park. Supplementary activities of Comâ€" munity Service, Inc. in addition to those carried on in the organizaâ€" tion‘s elubrooms, includes superviâ€" sion of adult education and recreaâ€" tion, conduct of Fall and Spring archery tournaments; assisting in certain phases of social service work, assisting the Boy Scout proâ€" gram, obtain a gymnasium for older boys to play basketball one night & week, promote ice carnivals, work towards a Community Recreation Planning committee, and many others. Possible and probable uses for Highland Park‘s newly acquired civic center are much too numerous to mention in this column in full Hitting the high spots in the way of suggestions we find: Boy and Girl Scout meetings, handicraft classes, art and sewing classes; book, stamp and camera clubs, drama and music clubs, travel talks and educational movies, dances and parties, community and committee meetings and many others. In addition to the projected bowlâ€" ing alleys, plans call for pocket bilâ€" liard equipment, table tennis, table games ,and a radio and phonograph. The fire station which is to be transferred for Community Service‘s use within six months has a large room on the second floor which, with a little alteration can be converted into a four alley bowling parolr. As bowling in recent years has become perhaps the country‘s number 1 inâ€" door sport, Mr. Sherer is of the opinion that this improvement will be the first on the list after the property is ready for occupancy. A short resume of the financial setâ€"up of Community Service, Inc. is in order to give the reader an idea of what to expect when this stage of the current program is completed. Out of approximately $60,000 in the fund preceeding the purchase of the old City hall property, some $40,000 was spent in acquiring the property itself, along with miscellaneous furâ€" nishings and equipment which Comâ€" munity Service considered they could use to good advantage. An addiâ€" tional $7,000 or $8,000 is expected to be spent in remodeling costs and purchasing | additional equipment. The remaining $12,000 is to be set aside for operating expenses and Tentative plans for remodeling the first floor of the old City hall building include space for a game room, lounge, club room, dark room, a small club room kitchen and a By ELMORE M.

Since the recent purchase of the old City hall property by this organization, the subject of course, is all the more timely. With the thought in mind of obâ€" taining information concerning any late developments in the service group‘s program, your reporter sought out Renslow P.

Plans for remodeling the property have alâ€" ready been drawn up and while not completely final, they have reached the stage where some definite idea can be had as to what to expect with the completion of this first stage in the organization‘s construcâ€" tion program. Mr. Sherer was of the opinion that the property would be ready for use within a few weeks.
