Recreational Center An Urgent Need

One of the present needs of the Sank Centre
community, or at least one of the urgent needs of
the near future is recreational for the youth
Parents, who this is true have little concep-
ton OF the undermining forces in the nature of nom
supervised entertainment offered to their sons
and daughters Some of this entertainment referred
to may be all right but from observation first hand
we must admit that most of it is of question: BILE
character.
. some people say youth must have it's fling and
II Is true that an outlet for the vim and vigor of
our young people is necessary
Recently at meeting of the Planning Board
TINS proposition was brought up-Red Cross author
tiles and womens organizations are interested in
some means of providing OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
which will keep the youth interested in activities
within the city,
Bowling alleys, games of all descriptions and
above ALL good, clean dances should be a community
program.
The idea is not to hold youth down, but to give
them an opportunity to have good time to let
themselves out under proper conditions. Night life
the present day will have it's dire results in the
future, whether we wish to believe it or not.
This is not sermon, but what the writer be-
heves to be a sane approach to problem which
puzzles and perpexes the parents today.

New Recipe For
Homemade Tractor

Observation-Disclosures Schut-
te is in a fix. Someone wants to
know what kind of a tractor he has
on his farm, and Walter can't tell
him. He built it himself of parts
from eight different makes of auto
mobiles, trucks, tractors and farm
implements, and doesn't know what
to call it. 1t took the young me-
chanic three weeks to construct the
new power-horse and is his second
venture along these lines. Walter
is proud of his tractor, which has
enough power to pull two 16-inch
plows and is in continuous use at
the farm.

regard 1t as rather significant that
the latest increment authorized by
the War Department provides for
the greater number of men to be
assigned to the 260th Coast Artillery

doubling Of the personnel limita-

considerable more attention is to
be concentrated on the development

has for its purpose the training of
men to handle the guns which will

or at least to worry them to the
extent that their bombardments

OF the $50 enlisted men author

militia, 465 have been allocated to
the 260th Coast Artillery Regiment
which is commanded by Col. Walter

this large number of men in a short
time and then placing them in the
existing units and preparing a plan
OF training which will bring the re-
cruits up to the present high stand.
ard Of the present men in the
outfit is no little task. When the
job is completed practically every
