Expansion of Activities to Result From Recommendation of Recent Survey; Bylaws to Be Amended to Meet Demands

The extended program of the Waterbury Council of Social Agen- cies had made 1t necessary for the organization and its subdivisions to review the bylaws and structure of the Council, according to Roger s. Sperry, chairman.

 Meet Demands

Waterbury eventually may get a new municipal golf course or addi- tional nine holes built into its East Mountain 18-hole course if play con- tinues as heavy as 1t has been cur rently.
 A total of 796 rounds of golf was played at the East Mountain course this weekend with 501 of these rounds being played Sunday.
 While 1t is too early yet to talk of new golf courses or additional holes at the East Mountain it may be definitely proven to us by the end of summer that the need is there, Park Supt. James J. Curtin said to- day. MT. Curtin in his annual report for last year paid note to the pos- sible need for such plans.
 W ecan only allow so many to play, particularly this time of year i, Mir Curtin pointed out today. Tn the spring the grass on the greens does not grow sufficiently fast to offset the heavy wear it gets" In the summer months of July and August we often get more than 600 rounds played on one day"
 The city does not own additional land suitable for such plans, the superintendent pointed out, but pri- vate land suitable for such plans could be purchased. The East Moun- tain course was built during the de- pression years partly under federal plans such as EZRA, ERA and WPA. The city also floated bond is- sues to complete the financing. No consideration has yet been given as to financial plans for any additions or a new course, MT. Curtin said.
 Many new golfers have appeared at the course this year. These con- sist of young girls and youths who learned the game during the war years. With the return of service men the numbers have mounted.
