brought forth the idea: Why not in winter, too? There lay the school buildings, dark at night.
 Utilize School Buildings
 Charles Stewart Mott, a General Motors vice-president and local philanthropist, went to the school board with a proposal, If they would make the school buildings available for winter recreational programs and activities, Mott would put up the money to conduct the program and provide trained leaders.
 The board agreed. Five bueldings the first winter and IS the second winter, were made available as com- munity centers, where recreation and education joined hands to fight juvenile delinquency.
 Local committees were formed to conduct each center, drawn from organizations such as Parten-Teach- CT groups in each aera. They drew up programs for their respective centers, cooperating with the board of education.
 Five nights a week the program went on: all phases of athletics, dramatics, handicraft training, art, music, game-room activities, danc- ing classes, sewing, knitting, club meetings, radio, child study, citi- zenship, English, storytelling, stamp clubs, airplane building, marion cites, singing and orchestras.
 Thousands In Glasses
 This winter, nearly 10000 men women, and children were enrolled in the work of the enlarged com munity centers. Some of the even- ing classes were divided into shifts one from 6:30 to 8, one from 8 to 9:30, etc.
 Every efYeort was made to pro- vide the kind of programs and work that the individual community wishes. For instance, one wanted tap dancing instruction for children The first night, 300 chuldren turned out, the youngest 1 years old.
 Flint being an industrila city, the facilities in machine shop, wood and metal working are especially popu- lar and important. The variety of the work offered may be gauged by the fact that this winter instruction for young sportsmen in hyrod and bait casting was asked for and pro- vided, with expert fishermen as in- structors.
 These community center activities have the doubly beneficial result of keeping the young folks of the streets in the evenings, and of pro- yiuing for them interests other than the dubious ones sometimes devised

by young people when they start to run in gangs"
 When the city was virtually para lyzed during the recent auto strike, the recreational program was about the only thing that carried on in normal fashion. An emergency pro- gram was quickly drawn, to provide recreational facilities for the thous- ands who suddenly had nothing to do as Q result of the strike.
 This was so successful that an exhibit of handicraft work just con- cluding in @ downtown auditorium consists 80 per cent of work finished during the strike.
 Flint has no doubt that the pres- ence of these recreational facilities helped minimize disorders by giving thousands something better to do than roam the streets.
 Scores of inquiries have come from other cities which have heard of the program and It's success, and are considering similar plans to take children off the streets and give them a chance to develop abilities and interests.
