Commenting on Wheaton's
teen-canteen troubles, County
Recreation Department Director
Forest V. Gustafson said this
week that a Well-rounded pro
gram for young people should
contain four parts: athletics, a
canteen meeting place, hobby
interests and clubs.
Mr.. Gustafson explained that
the recreation department pro
vides athletics and clubs and,
when a new staff member is
hired soon, will begin a program
of hobby instruction.
Teen-age clubs meet under
Recreation Department super
vision once or twice a month at
North Bethesda, Rollingwood,
Takoma Park, Wheaton, Glen.

and Potomac Valley.
The Recreation Director stress,
ed enlightened leadership as the
secret of successful teen-age
canteen meeting places. He said
the supervisor should be "some-
one who can provide full-time
guidance" Mr. Gustafson be.
lieves children of working
parents often feel lost. They
desperately need a place outside
the home where they can have
fun with their fellows and where
there is an adult whom they can
turn to for advice"
A teen canteen, Mr.. Gustafson
feels, should operate seven days
a week. The meeting place
should be open afternoons and
evenings and provide music, re-
freshments and activities.
One of the most successful
canteens, Mr.. Gustafson thinks,
was operated last year at the
Bethesda "Y" Cottage as a
YMCA Recreation Department
joint effort. THE 40 young
people who attended that canteen
have repeatedly asked for its re.
turn. They were enthusiastic
and interested and are disturbed
that it has been discontinued.
But we couldn't continue it any
longer. We couldn't find the
proper fuIl-time adult leaders"

At Sundays meeting, the teen.
ayers decided that it was time to
set up a membership committee
to clear new members who want
to join the club.
More than 100 youngsters turn
ed up for Sundays meeting. A
SENTINEL reporter, at the club
for two and a half hours, saw no
parents during that time.
The club decided to hold a hay
ride for members next Friday
evening. To avoid crashing" by
non-members, the place of meet
ing for the hay ride will not be
publicly announced, club presi-
dent Ricky Thompson said.
Since the incident flared up
last week, merchants in the shop
ping center have refused to COM
ment on the situation. A regular
meeting of the Triangle Park
Retail Association, of which all
neighboring store owners are
members, is scheduled for to-
night. Members would not say
whether the Candyland affair
was on the agenda.

Featuring a cast Of 125 perform

Another new and unique en-
