CHAPEL HILL RECREATION
COMMISSION
Only in the last two years has this community
fulfilled a long-felt need by having a Recreation De
partment staffed by professional personnel and
operating on a year-round basis. Last year this pro
gram had an allocation of SIB,OOO in the Community
Chest ( drive. This past spring a special recreation
tax was approved and in the future taxpayers all will
participate in this program. At the present time the
total recreation tax to be collected will not carry
the full program. For that reason the Evaluation
Committee of the Chest deemed it wise to include
an additional $4,000.00 for recreation in this year’s
drive. Very active programs for our young people
in Sports and Games, Arts and Crafts. Dramatics,
and other interest areas are included. Hundreds of
young people and adults of both sexes and all ages
participated in varied activities at the Roberson
Street Center, Chapel Hill High, the Umstead
Center, and various University facilities. These pro
grams are available to all residents of Chapel Hill
and surrounding areas. The participation of over
250 boys and girls and men and women in basket
ball leagues in the High School gymnasium is only
one example among many popular programs during
the past year. Allocation $4,000.00.

BOY SCOUTS
Many “alumni" of the Boy Scout movement from
ages eighteen to eighty can testify to the salutary
influence of the scouting program in their adult
life. In the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area over 900 Boy
Scouts participate in camping, hiking, and learning
activities which contribute to their own healthy
moral and physical development while serving their
community. Scouting membership increased 11 per
cent during the past year and 64 per cent over the ’
past three years. A continued vigorous scouting
program will be a major factor in the education of
boys for useful citizenship. Allocation $9,000.00.
Y-TEENS
The Y-Teens is a service organization of the
YWCA for girls of high school age, oriented toward
community service projects. Last year about 100

the PTA Thrift Shop, handing out voting and regis

children at the swimming pool and playground. Al

need by providing day care for the children of work
ing mothers. Licensed to care for 65 children and
working at capacity, the Nursery provides well
supervised play and rest facilities for youngsters
between the ages of two and six. Parents pay a
weekly fee which covers most of the cost, including
a hot lunch each day. The Nursery serves a double

THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
For over 75 years—through war, peace, disaster,
and the private problems of daily life—the Red Cross
has provided vital services to mankind on interna
tional, national, and local levels. The Red Cross was
founded by volunteers in a spirit of mutual help and
is sustained by voluntary contributions. Many serv
icemen and civilians have found that the Red Cross
“also serves” by doing more than to “stand and
wait.” Examples of major local services by the
Chapel Hill Red Cross Chapter are its programs of
home nursing service, first aid and water safety in
struction, the voluntary hospital work of Gray
* Ladies and Gray Men, and the Junior Red Cross.
Allocation $11,860.00.
ANIMAL PROTECTION SOCIETY
"Hurt not animals.”—Plutarch
The Animal Protection Society endeavors to
come to the rescue in those cases where Plutarch’s
injunction has been inadvertently or deliberately
violated. The Society, successor to the Humane So
ciety, oversees the boarding and adoption of lost or
strayed animals, the payment for medical care of
Injured stray animals, and the humane disposal of
those animals too sick or hurt to be rehabilitated.
One of its major current goals is to build an ade
quate shelter for animals in Chapel Hill, one of the
few towns without such a shelter operated by public
or private interests. Allocation $1,000.00.
