Youth Canteen To
Be Revived Here

On Thursday, Nov. II, for the
first time since 1949, a Youth Can
teen will be open for the high
school students of London. Plans
were announced this week by the
Citizens Council for Recreation.
Representatives of the various
interested organizations approved
the general program at the regu-
lar quarterly meeting of the Coun-
Gil, Monday, October Is. Details
were completed by the executive
committee one week later.
Leonard MCNeal, chairman of
the project committee, had sub
mitted a report at the July meet
ing. proposing the establishment of
a weekly canteen, possibly at the
Youth Building at the Madison
County Fairgrounds.
At the October meeting, some
objections were given to the use of
that facility, such as distance from
town, problems OF outside light
ing, and storage of materials.
Miss Joyce Bass and Gar. Hay
man, representing the Tri-L and
Hi-Y groups in the high school,
expressed the opinion that a bet
ter attendance would be likely if
the canteen were held at the high
school gymnasium.
By action of the council, Mr.. J..
J.Hartley was asked to present the
matter to the school board, seeking
their approval. The members of
the board, contacted individually,
gave consent, providing the usual
regulations applying to the use of
the gymnasium were followed.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Hahn have
been hired by the, council to sup
eriveS the program for six months,
beginning Thursday, November IL,
and continuing weekly from 7:3O
to 10 p. m. each Thursday evening.
Volunteers from the various in
terested groups will assist the sup
crVisorS by manning the rcgistra-
ton table, the concession, and
wherever else needed.
The Lions Club will provide the
assistants for the opening night.
Other groups will be placed on the
weekly schedule as they indicate
their willingness to participate.
Organizations should notify Miss
Marjorie Cooke, London High
School, when they agree to help.
Although the canteen is being
limited to high schol students at
the present, 9th through 18th
grades, 1t is hoped that if the pro-
gram is successful and additional
funds are available. a similar
activity may be provided for
younger children.
