The long awaited Grand Open
ing of Milford Teen Club vii,

March 8, at z O'Clock.
The Teenagers have been al
lowed by Milford Grange to use

cided by the formative group o.
thtrty-etght teenagers and ter
adults to make all teenagers ir
the area eligible to join the cen
ter, which has as its basic hope
ito provide something worthwhile
for teenagers to do.

The various Service Clubs In
the community have voted the
necessary funds to assure the
opening of the club, which after
opening will be more or less
self supporting.
Police Chief Philip Wagner
has been a great help In form
ing the club, which the group de-
cided to pattern as far as or
ganization, after Milford City
Council.
The idea for the club came
from twins, Victor and Victoria
Stene, 20. Victor believes the
center can be a success but 1t
has to offer more than just
dances. Already the planners fig
ure on opening the club with some
indoor sports, games, projects
and teams for boxing and judo
being discussed.
What got Victor interested was
the youth club at an army camp
In Virginia, when his father was
In the Army. The center operat-
ed we'll, kept kids off the streets,
and provided a place for teen
ayers to congregate without get
ting into trouble.

essary the moving of the 1862
Promenade to a nearby paved
area.
Last summer, a new and wider
Boardwalk was constructed to
replace the one DESTROYED by
storm and this will serve as the
setting for the 1868 Easter Sun
day Promenade.
Ralph B. Pierson. a local phar-

ing the guest speakers. Mrs.
Guthrie explained that 10 per

IS today. and the percentage is
climbing. BY the year 1000, the
average life span would reach
100, and this was bringing more
problems.
Good nursing homes are eco
nomical,' DR.. John T. T. Humid
ley, superintendent of the Lynch
burg Nursing Home and first
panel speaker, explained. He
cited that indigents could be
properly cared for cheaper by
the city in nursing homes than
in hospitals. People were better

often they lost their environ
ment when they could not work.
The best place for them was
under the supervision Of a nurs-
ing home.
