Indoor soccer for 4- to 18-year-olds, in cooperation with Paris Kiwanis Soccer Association, breaks the monotony of winter in November and December for another 350 youths.

During this year's basketball league season, the 12 and under division successfully represented Paris at invitational tournaments in Greenville, Sherman and the sectional tournament in Gainsville. The 10 and under league sec- tional tournament was hosted by the Boys Club of Paris at North Lamar High School gymnasium, where 10 teams represented Boys and Girls Clubs from Northeast Texas and the Metroplex. "These tournaments afford many of these youths an experience in life they will never forget," Chadwick said. In addition to organized athletic leagues, Boys Club serves a purpose daily by keeping youngsters off the street. At the clubhouse at 1530-1st NE, supervised facilities include a large game room, reading room and workshop for arts and crafts.

Rules and a code of conduct reinforce Boys Club aims to prcn vide moral guidance, counseling and an environment of love. "A society is only as good as its young people," Chadwick said. "They represent our hope for tomorrow. "The greatest threat to our society and our youth's future is the breakdown of family. It happens all over the country and it has happened in such a short period of time." Chadwick's burden is to help the boys whose parents are absent from their lives because of families lacking fathers or have a mother who works.

He impresses upon adults that they should take responsibility for children when they bring them into the world-and "spend time giving them love." "The B8ys Club do trie whole job by ourselves," Chadwick said, "but we can be a part of the solution by providing quality services to our youth."
