National Newspaper weeks gives us a wonderful opportunity to express our apreciation and to give our newspapers a recognition they so justly deserve. "A free press is a cornerstone of our powerful defender of our democratic liberties that are under stealthy attack at home and abroad and a stimulus to self criticism that leads to and betterment of our American way of life."

We Be Curtailed without CC Funds de Commu One of the most controversia agencies but one which touche the most people is the Ludingto recreation department, a mem her of the Community Chest. All through its five years existence the recreation depart ment has encountered variou crises but its growth has beer steady until attendance an participation figures are fiv times the city's population. And through the recreation partment's history the nity Chest has furnished a large part of the operating funds of the program.

In fact money which the Chest had collected for ear Her recreation programs wa used to get the program started here. Because Recreation depart ment finances come from various sources it is difficult to credi success of the program to any specific agency, Chairman Rev Mr. Paul Haskell Clark pointed out. The city provides some "unds and other assistance, some money is taken in from fans a various games and through en sry fees and other charges while the Ludington school system con Pomona Grange Elects Officers Mason County Pomona grange met at Pere Marquette townhal Tuesday evening for election of officers for the next two years.

Clark said, "If Community Chest funds were not available." The basic policy of the Recreation board which directs overal operations of the recreation department, is that adult programs must pay for themselves and that as much attention be given to youth problems as possible. This sort of a policy is difficult to maintain, Mr. Clark pointed out, if the department is at all anxious to serve the residents of the city. He posed a question of whether it would be better to go ahead and conduct any specific program and run the risk of entangling a small loss or not to hold it at all and not lose any money on the deal. One misconception in recreation department operations is the line between adult and youth activities.

For instance there is some difficulty distinguishing between the two. In many instances the two groups overlap especially in sports and outdoor activities. To point out the problem the chairman explained the difficulties that would arise if the department developed an Ice rink and allowed only children to use It. Thus Community Chest funds tend to give the recreation program greater depth and enable the department to serve and more people. more Newberry Stores Mark Anniversary The Ludington J.
