Chamber Commerce Educa
tional Committee Project
Is Making Progress
Temporary organization for
'teen age centers to be set up
and operated In the Wllkesboros
has been formd, It was learned
today from the Education com
mittee of the Wilkes Chamber of j
Commerce, sponsor of the organ
ization.
The Informal organization,
composed of representatives of
civic and fraternal groups, has
hired Zeb V. K. Dickson, member 1
of the Wilkesboro high schoor
faculty, as director and has set
up a budget of $2,500. He will
■work with young people on a pro
gram which the youth will help
to plan and operate themselves.
The committee In charge
reached a decision to use tempor
ary quarters for the ’teen age
centers until a more permanent
location can be secureil.
The civic and fraternal organ
izations participating will under
write the budget of $2,500 and
each will elect a member of the
board of directors for the teen
age project.
Dr. F. C. Hubbard, president
of the Wilkes Y. M. C. A., issued
the follo^'lng statement sup
porting the 'teen age center
movement:
"The Teen-Age Center will In
no way conflict with the YMCA
program. It will fill an existing
need until the Y Is built. When
the YMCA is in operation, the
Teen-Age Center will turn over
to the Y all momlee and eqnli>-
ment left from their operation.
At the present time this Teen-
Age Center Is badly needed. We
must, all support it.”
Sponsoring committee of the
Wilkes Chamber of Commerce
made the following comment:
"We think a separate youth
center—a youth hang-out aud
social recreation facility—Is as
necessary In our county as a
school building, library, or play
ground. We should come to the
realization that every p-ovision
has been made for adult .social
clubs, such as fraternal orders,
athletic clubs, and tor other
means of getting together, while
we have up to the present left
the social life of teen-age youth
up to the schools and an occas
ional social agency which ope
rates a youth social program as
a side line or as a means of en
rolling youth for some other
purpose. The failure to meet
squarely the need for a ulace
where young people can meet so
cially under the right auspices is
the biggest oversight In com
munity recreation today.”
Board of directors of the
'teen age center p.'oject will meet

fumbled and was forced to fall
on the ball behind his own goal
line. This play, coming fast at
the very start of the game, put
Wilkesboro In a hole throughout
almost the entire first half.

The Ramblers played under
quite a handicap. Due to the

could not be marked off straight,

the edition will contain 48 pages.
When work began on the edi
tion, 24 pages was the goal, but
response on the part of the
business firms and many Indi
viduals was so enthusiastic that
the edition was finally complet
ed just twice as largo as was
originally planned.
Because of the large volume
of material contained, a great

time or eftort was spared in the
various phases of work.
