Decatur Woman's Club For Community Center 1

(An Interview) After an Interview with Mr*, i'owr.rd Buck, prrident of the Decatur Woman’* club, there could be no question that Decatur not only want* the Memorial Community Center, but need* it urgently. In .voliciting Mr*. Buck * opinion. It wan felt that there could be no Lett r source from which to get •he reaction of the women of De<at.ir to the proposed Center. The ’Voman’a club ha* been active | in improving Decatur’* social and recreational position and i* naturally very much int res’ed in the welfare of youth It might well be eaid that this club "mothered” the Community Center idea Back in IBM. the need for some sort of recreational center became distressingly evident The number of young people in the city in< re;i*ed and the number of Idle hour* hung heavily on their hand*. Women are great Ixlleverv In the philosophy that "The Devil find* thing* for idle They like to be with other young hand* to do." Young people are gregarious people. So the problem resolved itself Into finding a place where they could congregate end enjoy spare time recreation in a location easily accessib'e to all. Thi* was accompli hed by renting from the American Legion. the place now called "The Den.” The rent wa* one dollar a year whl' h they found not at all dilflcu’t to pay. especially since the Legion never caabed the rental check. It now became necessary to equip the "Den" with facilities for entertainment and refreshment. The Decatur Community Fund. Inc., provl led the money to equip and furnish the center. It was a success from the start and the only complaint th? young people have I* that it is too small. The traffic has always been too heavy for the "Den” to carry and from this condition logically came the demand for more commodious accomodation*. From thia seed grew the vision ’of the Decatur Community Center. Now the vision Is about to become a real building of brick and mortar. At thi* point in the discussion. Mrs Buck wa* asked, if. in her opinion. Decatur not only need* a Community Center but want* it badly enough to invent to the point of sacrifice. Wi I DecaturHe* give of their time and mean* to build thi* urgently needed facility for th* recreetlcnal and social | needs of the community? Her reply was an unqualified affirmative I Mrs. Hue* said. "The people of Decatur are vital y interested in the welfare of youth. They want the young people of today to find Deeatur such a good place In

which to live that th“y will here when they reach maturity. A town that leave* Its youth to shift for itself entertainment, and recreation wherevr r It can find it, la. in effect, urging them lo look for greener pastures elsewhere. Often tills restless s eking for leisure time outlets leads them Into paths that, to say the ' least, du not have the wholehearted approval of their parents.” Mrs. Buck continued, 'Our experience with the Den shows that the demand is there. Youth wants a well organized and supervisee! place where their clubs can meet, where they can play game* with each other and work off some of their excess energy. Such supervised activities will inuke th-in belter citizens by creating a spirit I of "give and taka." foster fair play and a recognition of the rights of others. " On being a ked concerning the | value of a Community Center to adults, she replied. "Decatur is overcrowded with clubs and sororities that have no place they can call home." Now came the |64 question. Is , 1 Decatur civic minded enough to | dig deeper into their pocketbooks than they have ever done, to put 1 1 this Community Center project . over? Mrs. Buck's answer was • i factual She recognized* the fact that there are some who take a

The troop , defeatist attitude and sav “It ten 1 not be done" On the other hand. it was her observation that a great deal of this at’itude has nlreadv been dissipated. While $275,000 seemed an astronomical figure when first announced, it became less so with the generous offer of Central Soya to invest up to 000. As the inter st of Dei atur industry, commerce and professions has developed, even these skeptics have begun to say ' Per haps It can l>e done aft r al'.” They are beginning to m«isur<their own ability Io Invest and ‘‘it is my opinion that kll Decatur will 'get on the band wagon' ami ride through to success." "All women's organizations in Decatur are backing,the Community Center project with gmel will, and are planning substantial gifts.
