The lioard of parks and recreation had requested that the iommls iontm meet that day w{ith the council to determine the future of the department.. It Is expected ; that the discussion of the recrea- . ' tion future will be limited to meaus of continuing with a dim inlnhed budget The budget tor the recreation | department wa* halved by the county council In its tax levy ap pralsal* last fall, the council stating at the time that the prevailing levy would suffice and lopped off a sought-after increase. Previously, the McMillen Foundation had supplied half the salary and operating expenses of the department. but this income was not forthcoming for the 1951 program, which resulted in a necessary curtailment for next year. Since that time. Dennis Norman. ' director qf the recreation departI ment. has submitted hla resignation effective January 1. No single group or individual In an official capacity has forwarded any definite plans for forthcoming recreation activities. It has been suggested by observers that possibly the county recreation program be confined only to the summer months; or that each township take it* share and conduct Its own program. None ot these suggestion*, however. has been acted upon, though It I* believed that Saturday's meeting will result in a definite answer a* to the future of the recreation department and Its program.
