Mayor J. K. Wiseman has been advocating such a program since he first took over the mayoralty of Newberry and at the hist regu lar council meeting held on March 10, council decided to hold a pub lic meeting to discuss the matter. Funds in the amount of $10,000 were voted last year in general obligation bonds for equipment and upkeep of the city’s parks and playgrounds. Mayor Wiseman opened the meeting Friday night, then ap pointed Rev. H. J. Lindler chair man. Rev. Lindler presided throughout the remainder of the meeting. Furman Band To Play Here The Furman Fniversity Band, directed by Sam Arnold, will ap pear in concert at the Whitmire High school at n:<mi n.m , April i j 10. and at Newberry High school | at S: do a.m , April 14. Besides concert programs, the hand plays for football games and pep meetings, and band members play in the orchestra for the operetta which is presented each spring by the Furman Fniversity Singers. Newberrians will recall thi 1 fine performance of the band during the Newberry-Furman foot- bell game played here last fall. The appearances of the Furman University Band are being spon sored by the bands of Newberry and Whitmire High schools. After much discussion as to the functions of a city recreational committee and director, the group present voted to recommend to council the names of five persons to be appointed to such a commit tee. It was agreed that the di rectors of the Mollohon Fark and Willowbrook Park would each submit one recommendation; the remaining three members would be recommended by the Newber ry Ministerial association, one; the Newberry City Schools, one, and the civic and service organi zations of the city, one. A motion was first made that each service club recommend one of its members and that council choose the five committee mem bers from among those recom mended. However, after it was ex plained by City Attorney Saint- Amand that Council wished to keep such a committee completely out of politics, the motion was withdrawn. The names of the recommended members will be submitted to Council at the next regular meet ing on April 14. It was explained by Mayor Wiseman that the City Recreation Committee would have complete charge of planning what type of program should be car ried out, the number of workers to be employed, and the choice of a recreational director who would coordinate activities of ail of New berry’s parks and playgrounds. The committee, explained May- | or Wiseman, would work with the j Board of Control of Margaret Hunter Park and Marion Davis ^ Park, and with the Park Commit tee of Mollohon and Willowbrook Parks. He stated that the pro gram would in no way affect the ! present set-up established for park ! beautification, but would merely have to do with recreation. In | the instance of Margaret Hunter t Park, he told the group that the ( main concern of the recreational program there would be the swim ming pool, and that no equipment would be added and no changes made to the Park without the agreement of the city recreation committee and the Park Board of Control. The group present at the meet ing seemed unanimously in favor of adopting such a program for the city, although the civic and service organization heads stated that they could not speak for their groups as a whole since the ques tion had not been discussed in Driggers, Smith Named Wildlife Club Officers Pete Driggers and J.
