This matter was : discussed at the meeting of Chapel iHill Post No. Six last Wednesday ; and Post Commander Bill Grrce named a six-man committee to study this possibility and meet with [groups from civic clubs inlerosied ! in the building of a recreation center, ’ Paul Robertson, commander oi the Post wlien the site was acquir ed and the present building creel ed over 20 years ago, w'as named chairman of the committee, other members of which are Henry A. [ Whitfield, L. J. Phipps, D. M. Horner, Johnny Colones, and Mr. Grice. j Bob Cox and Kenneth Putnam i presented the needs for a recrel- I tion center to the Legionnaires at their meeting, and the whole idea was generally discu.ssed. Sooner or later the present quarter;;,which are considered quite inarlequate, will have to beevacuated, since j the Methodist Church hopes to ex- j tend its educational plant on the j site of the 70-year-oId builfling in I which the Center is now located, j Community Chest funds support 1 the Recreation Center although the : aidermaii-appointed recreation commission supervises its over-all operation.
