 they should be made good use of. With this purpose in mind the Com munity Center has had the tennis courts and hall grounds started. The Worthington Athletic club. which was formed this past winter with two bas- ketball teams. will undoubtedly use the grounds for their baseball games as they have decided to continue the activities of the club by forming a team.
 The community house and organi- zation became active in the town af- fairs about the first of September Of last year. The first large event to open the grounds was a field day held on Labor Day of last year. This was followed by a barbecue on Septem- Der 25. which proved to be a huge success. Many out of town people were present at this barbecue. It was thought by members at that time that the affair would be made annual. Many other events have occurred at the house during the winter months. including private dances, Motherhood club meetings and Boy and Girl Scout meetings. The house has proven a great boon to the town and will be in
 greater demand when the tennis
 courts and baseball diamonds are
 completed.
