Helping people to help them
selves" is the principle being
stressed by the Montgomery Coun-
ty Recreation Board in setting up
new program. Not only does it
bring about wholesome and crea-
tive results but it is decidedly
economical and can save our citi-
zens a worth while sum in taxes.
This practical philosophy of re-
creation is particularly applicable
to the less populous areas of the
County.
Service clubs, churches, All
Clubs, Parent Teacher Associa-
tons, and numerous other groups
are vitality interested in this sub
ject and are providing recreational
services throughout the County.
Numerous requests have been re-
ceived from these groups by the
Recreation Board for further as
sistance in conducting recreational
activities. The Recreation Depart
ment will be able to provide such
assistance by way of advice to in
dividuals in planning their own
programs, perhaps in loan of
equipment, and certainly in mat
tiers pertaining to training OF
workers from these organizations
so that they can carry out their
programs more effectively. 1t will
be possible to assist in setting up
athletic leagues, assist in conduct
ing social recreation, assist in
planning and conducting commun-
ity picnics, Halloween parties and
other special events, and assist in
the establishment Of appropriate
activities for teen-agers.

judging by the requests already
received, is that of providing tech
nical assistance in matters per-
tanning to developing community
Fairgrounds, arranging and laying
out community parks, and the con-
struction and operation of swim
ming pools.
Last, but not least, is the need
for coordinating services of all
private, as well as public, agencies
in the County. 1t is extremely i'm
portant that some agency be in
formed of all opportunities in re-
creation and that all steps possible
be taken to eliminate overlapping
and duplication between such
agencies. After all, recreation is
a job for many agencies and not
just one. 1t is our belief that the
Recreation Department can serve
these functions and it can make a
real contribution toward meeting
these needs at a very minimum
cost to the tax payer.
