Proposed Recreation Program
Discussed at Meeting

the coordinating council recreation
committee, in brief suggests that
an effective program can be car
ried on DUNG the school year
Get. 15-June 30 without employ
ment of director Since the child
rer are in school during the day
it would be possible to employ reg
ular teachers who are adequately

reation program calls for 10 lead
ers: Mckinley and Harding schools

The 10 leaders would be employed
for eight calendar months, theii
time covering two hours in the af-
ternoon five days a week and three
hours Saturday mornings. Theii
salaries would be $40 each pei
month and it is estimated that $40C
would cover the cost of equipment
bringing the total budget to $4,000
The summer vacation period
would be provided for by employ
ing director and probably some
of the volunteer workers, upper di-
vision high school, and junior col
lege students, who will donate Their
services as assistants during the
school term with a possibility of re-
ceiving part-time employment as
assistants to the directors during
the summer vacation.
