Such recreation center now is
coming into being. A group of adults
representing some 10 local organiza-

for some sort of liquorless night club
and meeting place for teen-age youth,
under adult supervision.
A student committee has started
looking for suitable location for the
club. The boys and girls want a hall
with plenty of room" because when
the rug cutters turn loose they need
more square feet of dance space than
is necessary for the more sedate type
of ballroom dancing.

he alone was responsible for his be-
havior. He seemed to take his position
as guest seriously He had brought
his games and books; he entertained
himself. had some necessary errands
to take care of in the city. He went
with me uncomplainingly; he ate in
strange places in quite the matter-of-
fact manner of blase young man
about town.
Whenever we were to go down or
up in the hotel he delighted in press
ing the button for the elevator, and
he always enjoyed getting the mail
at the desk for Aunt Helen" In fact
he liked doing everything that came
along. He took his maps without pro-
test. His mother admitted less perfect
cooperation at home.

their small sons and daughters to
make short visits now and then? ANY,
thing is extremely beneficial to chill

adjust themselves to new surroundings
is an extremely valuable accomplish
