The Salvation' Army Boys' Club and the Avery Boys' Club Durham are no exceptions. They offer a variety of programs designed to "Keep the boys' off the street" and teach them useful skills at the same time. According to Mr. Lee W. Smith, Jr., Executive Director of the Avery Boys' Club," the organization provides, not only recreation, but guidance also." "Quite often the boys who attend the club are seeking discipline, recognition, and someone in whom they can place confidence. We try to give them these things." Mr. Smith feels that the club has been very successful in instilling the boys a sense of pride and belonging which will follow them throughout life. Proof of this is the long list of former Avery Boys' Club members who have become successes and continue to contribute time and money to the Boys' Club. Among these is Sam Jones, present coach of NCClfs basketball team and former coach of the Boston Celtics. Founded in 1939, the Avery Boys' Club has a membership of 685 boys. It began on March 16, 1939, when Mrs. Mamie Dowd Walker, the Judge of the Juvenile Court of Durham, Mount Vernon Day Care Center To Present' The requested the Negro Citizens' Committee to help solve the problem of juvenile delinquency among Negro boys of the community. The committee responded to the request of Judge Walker and initiated a financial campaign for funds to start a boys' club project. On May 12, a temporary organization of the club was formed. Times change . and so do boys' clubs. They are no longer located in slum areas only and no longer are then activities restricted. "Kids today are more mature and . . t it - more aiversmea says Emmanuel C.rosland, Executive Director of the Salvation Army Boys Club. "We have to get involved and find out what they want, then try ot give it to them." Today, the activities of both boys' clubs cover a broad range. The physical program offers football, basketball, baseball, soccer, track, etc., the social program includes chess, table tennis, billiards, bumpa pool, for par golf, parties, and family night, art and craft includes painting, enameling, ceramics, decoupage, etc., and library resources are available.
