Penn- for during projection of plans for the new civic center. Persenaire said the budget for next year is S63.000 for operations and personnel. In speaking of the new civic center, the director said an early September opening date is assured and that the facilities are those of which Baytonians should well be proud. "Baytown has the finest in the state one you can well be proud of," he said of the civic center. Persenaire invited all members to come by and take a look at the center.

Very interested in having something fpr everyone. Persenaire has been talking with civic groups and clubs about their needs and the facilities open to them. "One of the happiest moments was when the Senior Citizens Club voted to meet at the center," he said. One room will be reserved for senior citizens. It will be open to them from 9 a.m.

to 10 p.m. whether they have a planned activity there or not. "They can just come and visit, play dominoes or bridge." he said In quoting International City Managers Association recommendations for public park land, ihe speaker said that one acre per 100 people is recommended and that for a city the size Baytown is now, there should be 440 ecres of park land. "We have actually 2S.45 acres," he said. "Our biggest problem is to maintain existing facilities and grow toward better he said.

Persenaire also noted that the greatest challenge now is inflation in the cost of open land, cost of purchasing playground equipment and labor. New programs, to be developed for Baytown are also a challenge facing this dynamic young man. He listed some of the proposals which might take shape in the future but reminded his audience that the biggest job now is getting folks to use the center. Persenaire forsees great use of the teen center with its several recreational areas and plenty of programmed activity as well for children, young adults and young marrieds. He listed such possible activities as handcrafts, art, bridge, modern dancing and "trim nasties" for women.

The parks and recreation department of Baytown is on the tlireshold of enriched' activity under Persenaire's direction and with the help of interested Bay- tonians.

Fishy Music, Automobile Bumpers Highlight Pop And Op Art Works By BETTY CANARY I got a letter today from a friend in California and he says that out there all the tallc is about music. It must be really great what they are discovering in the field of music. You know what Henry said they did? Well, this guy got a big fish tank and painted musical staff on it. Then he put in some fish and an orchestra played the notes (or fish) as they swam up and down' across the staff.

And people sat there and listened. Writing has come to much the same. If you turn out a poem where the lines rhyme, most all Did You Know?
