USE OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Mayor Woodford Appoints Com
mittee to Urge Use Dover School


Mayor ]. Wallace Woodford's
committee to promote wider use of
the Dover school buildings and
grounds by outside groups has is
sued a statement setting forth it's
aims, which include: To bring to
the school and school grounds as
many community activities as pos
Sible, to make it the community
center visualized by those planning
it's construction. To promote new
community enterprises at the
school. To provide leaders for vo-
cational consultations, training
projects, discussion groups, hobby
clubs, singing and dramatic groups,
etc. 1T is the intention of the
committee, the statement says,
mot to spend money for such lead
ers, but to take advantage of offers
of the WPA and the adult educa-
tion program. When leaders from
these sources are not available it is
proposed to obtain the assistance
of local public-minded citizens es-
pecially qualified for the work. It
is the unanimous opinion of this
committee that this program must
be self-sustaining. It is not pro-
posed to ask the taxpayers to sup
port it in any way except by their
cooperation. AS far as possible
all facilities will be available with
out charge. 1t may be that in
some grounds consumable material
will be required. In such cases
those participating will be required
to furnish the material or the cost
of it."
