Recreation Center Is
Popular With Youths
By DALE DAVIDSON

Buttons recreation center, locat-
ed in the basement of the Grade
School building, provides for child
rem and adults of the community,
play opportunities which may not
be had in the average home.
Buttons center ranks on a level
with other centers of like nature
which have been established thru
out Northwestern Ohio.
The Center has two leaders or
supervisors who act in that capacity
in directing the play activities of
all who attend. Dale Davidson is
senior leader and Robert Kohl is
junior leader. Salaries of these two
men are paid by the w. P. A.
Each Center in its particular town
has a sponsor. In Bluffton this role
is taken by the Board of Education.
Here the sponsors contribution con-
sists mainly in providing the rooms
and lighting for the play activities.
The aim of a recreational pro-
gram is to provide properly directed
play and games, handicraft, dra-
matte, musical and other forms of
recreational activity in such way
that it will provide toward building
finer character in the individual.
Cooperation in children's organized
games is stressed in particular.
The local establishment was in
augurated four years ago and has
been thriving in attendance since
then. Open only in the school
months, activities are conducted
Except Sundays) at the following
hours: 1900 to 100 p. m. over the
noon hour for the benefit of the
country children who must stay at
the building and yet would like a
suitable play place during the lunch
hours; $3.50 to $3.50 after school, and
TOO to $3.50 in the evening. On
Saturday there is no noon period
and the hours are 200 to 500 and
700 to 1000.
Ping Pong" or table tennis is by
far the most popular indoor sport
with those who attend the center
and a number of the youth of the
community have become quite prof.
cient at this pastime. The local CEN
ter this year had eight of the ten
participants who represented Allen
county in the district championship
matches at Leipsic. In this tourna-
ment Genevieve Fett, local enthusi-
asst, proved her prowess with the
paddle as she won the N. w. Ohio
senior women's championship for the
second successive year. Matches are
scheduled throughout the season
with teams in the immediate vicinity
and the representatives of the local
center have proven their merit with
other competition.
Other activities at the center are
centered mainly around handicraft.
Along this line are endeavors by
children in woodworking, leather
craft, metal work and celluloid. All
materials used by the children in
these occupations are of "scrap"
nature and there is a minimum of
expense if any, toward the making
of an object by the child for the

Daily attendance records are kept
at the center and during the period
from Dec. 81 to Jan. 20 the at
tendance was zoos. During this
period the center was open "a days
and the average was approximately
33 per period.
Visitors and adults or children not
already acquainted with the facili-
ties are welcome at any open hour
to come to the center and partici-
pate. 1T Pays to Play.
