According to the plan of the Pres
byterian church of Lancaster, origi
nator of the project, the recreational
center will be in us* every night of
the week. Boy Scouts, Girl ScooU
and other youth groups can hold their
meetings and programs there.
The church stresses that the public,
Irrespective of church iifftltatlon. will
be urged to take advanUge of the en
tertainment the Center offers.
We think this is a fine program and
much credit must be given to tbe
l.Ancaster Presbyterian church for
working it out. It is^ a venture that
every community can well afford to
Invest In.
Several days ago when Interviewing
W, T. Redfearn in regard to tbw pest-
war..,plaps he shall advocate for Ker
shaw cdunty, he mentioned the need
of a recreational center for the young
people. The same thing was the
ibeme of s similar Interview with
Mayqr McCorkle several months ago,
TTSe young people, boyt and giris
of Camden, do not have the oppor
tunlty for wholesome entertainment
that is offered the growing youth of
many other communities.
Wn wero approached by a promt
u*JiL buj^lneas man last Frixlay who
made a suggest ion that seems to us
to have a lot of merit and we hope
that the city ran take some steps to
ward working out a program that will
aid in checking juvenile delinquency
In Camden. Not that this community
has any serious problem in that re-
spe( t, but the plan suggested by the
business man wilt put the brakes on
what might be regarded as a threat.
He has suggested that the old De-
Saussure home on Mill street, used
by the C4idet club for several yeers
while the Southern Aviation school
was in operation, could be made
community center for many groups in
Camden. We think he is right. We
believe that there are plenty of ua
■ —• I
selfish groups in Camden that would
combine to assist in the operation of
such a Center.
Shortly after we had the cooveraa-
tlon with the business man we met
Mra. W. F. Buckley. Mrs. Buckley has
taken an active Interest in all matters
of a civic nature both here and iu
her Sharon. Conn., community. We
referred to the suggestion of tbe busi
ness man and it was Mrs. Buckley
who urged us to outline the plan In a
newspaper article.
So there It is folks. Wbat do you
think about such a plan?
The young people of our community
are our greatest assets. We should
give them tbe opportunity of meeting
together In snitable sniroqndtngs.
They should have a place to gather,
play games or dance without it having
to be in placet where there Is no real
supervision.
