At the regular monthly meet ing last Friday night, Council voted to employ a man for that purpose.

Opposed were Council man S. A. Pitts, who stated he was not in favor of a combination man, and Councilman B.

Mims, spokesman for a group of citizens present, re quested additional recreational facilities for the colored residents of the city, including development of an area of land offered to be deeded to the city by Mrs. Aman da Gary in memory of her broth er, the late Eugene Gary.

The motion was seconded by Ed wards. Opposing the motion were Bagwell, Boland, Crain and Pitts. 16. Aiken Taylor jttMf s jpeaner At Camp fellowship The Rev. Dr. G.
