PAGE TWO-A

A Minority of One Here m Decatur and Adams county, where we are protected by custom and law, we have a very strong tendency to think of the other fellow as being in the minority groups. We aren’t persecuted, we aren’t denied our legal rights, and we have grown very, very careless in caring for the rights of others. “Oh, them — they’re no good, we don’t want them here, how would you like it if . . . ~ etc.” 4 Have we grown so fat and sleek that we can no longer remember when our forefathers were persecuted for their religious beliefs — whether our forefathers were Protestants, Catholics, Or Jews? We wanted OCR rights then — would we deny rights to others now? If we sit- idly by, and condone the actions of others in refusing God-given legal rights — yes, Godgiven, as our own Declaration of Independence and Constitution say — then each of us is setting up a future of trouble. If we permit one minority to be stepped upon, then we may well be in the next minority. For each of us, in one or more of our beliefs or customs, is a minority. I’ve been places where I was treated deferentially because I was left-handed. Now, I didn’t plan to be left-handed, I was born that way. My right hand wasn’t hurt. I’m not writing with the “wrong” hand. But I’m in a minority that use the right side of their brains, and consequently are left-handed — and I don’t like being ridiculed for it, any more than I would like being ridiculed, or denied rights, because I was born with black skin — still the same species, mind you, Homo sapiens Linnaeus, but with a slightly difi ferent colored skin. Did you hear or read yesterday that the University of Georgia — Yes, Georgia, in the U.S.A. — elected a Negro student to Phi Beta Kappa this year?? That’s about the highest honor any student of any color can receive. Did you read the words of the editor of the Atlanta Constitution, who feels very strongly that Gov. Wallace and Gov. Barnet are dead wrong, are just political charlatans — that states are not sovereign, that they have no right to oppose the U. S. constitution and courts, that the government is not trying to control education, but to uphold the Godgiven rights of individuals to an equal opportunity. Few educated people in any part of the Uniteff States believe that Negroes should be denied the right to eat and trade in public places, or to educate their children. Did you notice the grammar, language, and diction of the two colored students entering Alabama? They sounded better educated already than Gov. Wallace! (And they had less of an accent than President Kennedy!) Let us just remember this — neither Heaven nor Hell will be segregated, and some of us will be burned so black in eternity that color of skin will be pretty meaningless — we’d better get used to it right h,ere and now. >

More parking has had to be provided however, than originally anticipated, and the front drive is much more comprehensive, without the bend and trees to the east. The roof is being rebuilt, as the original flatroof over the main auditorium developed some leaks. In the back, shuffleboard courts are now constructed by the building.

Youth, Community Center Started 15 Years Ago As Dream Os Local Citizens

By Michael Thoele From a cramped, converted railroad car to a spacious modern building with full recreational facilities — this is the 15-year story of the Decatur Youth and Community center which was completed just a little more than eight years ago. / ■' ,i Early in 1949 a group of Decatur citizens headed by Carl Pumphrey, met in Mayor John Doan’s office and began working toward the realization of a long-held dream —a Decatur youth center which would replace “The Den,” a remodeled railroad car on Madison street which served the needs of Decatur youth at that time. “The Den was operated by Deane Dorwin, speech teacher and guidance counselor at Decatur high school, and Steve Everhart now principal at Southeast school. By May of 1950 the group had incorporated and revamped plans so that the proposed center would include space for both youth and community activities. „ fund Drive The group, with Pumphrey serving as president, organized the fund drive which was to produce the Youth and Community Center. They were inspired considerably by Dale W. McMillen Sr., founder of Central Soya, who offered to donate one dollar for every two which the group raised, and who provided moral inspiration for the group. Members of the group the Decatur Memorial Foundation, were Arthur R. Holthouse, vice president; Mrs. Roy Kalver, secretary; T. F. Graliker, treasurer, C. E. Bell, then mayor John M. Doan, C. I. Finlayson, Glenn Hill, E. W. Lankenau, Ray Leitz, Dick Heller, Sr., Mrs. Stewart McMillen, J. Ward Calland, James Staley, Charles Ehinger, Joseph Oelberg, Leonard Saylors, city attorney Robert Anderson, and Fred Schafer. The building was completed eight years ago in the spring of 1955 and the service which it has rendered to Decatur and the uses it has served have demonstrated time and again the soundness of the original planners’ thinking. Since its opening the center has been used for hundreds of youth, community and organizational functions. Youth Room During the school year its youth room is open seven, days a week and offers varied recreational activities which include ping-pong, pool, dancing, shuffleboard, horseshoes and ample area for an opportunity to sit and talk. Over and above this, its banquet and meeting room facilities are in almost constant use by local clubs, church groups and businesses. The building consists of three

units which house the community center, the youth center, and a lounge and snack bar. The community center is a large assembly room which can be partitioned into smaller rooms thus making it possible for two or three groups to use the room at the same ■ time. The youth center includes a large general recreational room meeting rooms for the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and the outdoor recreational area, which included the horseshoe pits and shuffleboard. The lounge and snack bar area also includes a coat room, rest rooms and the office df the director of the center. Since its completion, the building has had four directors. The first, O. M. McGeath, served from June, 1955 to May, 1957. Then Kenneth Watkins a teacher at Adams Central who has worked at the center since its opening, took over until October, 1957 .At that time Dick Linn was appointed director and worked in that position until October, 1962. Succeeding him was Robert Lewis August, the present director of the center. . Nine Employees The center operates On a large budget (ih 1962 it was $42,430) which comes from rax funds, who Community Fund and from contributions. and fees. Besides these funds, the .center has income from banquet and facility rental fees. ' Os the $43,955 budget, set by the city board of recreation, only $13,290 comes from tax money. Another $5,000 fon>eifth wort only, comes from the Community Fund. The rest is raised by fees charged tor meetings and dinners. This amounts to more than $25,000. In addition to director August the center has nine other permanent and part-time employes. August, Watkins and Mrs. John Beery serve as youth supervisors. Mrs. Jess Patch, Mrs. Byford Smith and Ruth Koenig are fountain attendants and Joe Linn is custodian of the building. Mrs. Alva Lawson, Mrs. Raymond Walters and Mrs. Walter Hammond are cooks for the banquets and dinners served at the center. The five-menber recreation board is in charge of the center. Its members are Lloyd Cowans, president, Dr. James Burk, Mrs. Hubert Zerkel. Jr., secretary, Dale Myers, treasurer, and Mrs. Lawrence Anspaugh. Because the community room of the center can be partitioned and since, when necessary, the Boy Scout and Girl Scout rooms can be pressed into service for other functions, a large number of- activities can be held simulaneously. It is

possible to serve as many as 550 meals from the center’s kitchen and last December, when the Kresge company of Fort Wayne held an employee Christmas party there, more than 400 meals were served in the amazinly short time of 21 minutes. The dinner prices paid by groups and organizations ranges from $1.75 to $2.85 a plate. In the spring of 1959, more than 600 were served when then-Senator John F. Kennedy, getting his presidential nomination-election campaign underway, spoke in Decatur at toe inviation of county chairman Harry H. Hebble. Income from rent for use of toe facilities helps pay a large part of toe center’s expenses. Rental rates vary with the size and nature of the group using toe facilities. Non-profit organizations pay less than businesses. Youth Organizations which use the community center room for their dances pay rent just as do other organizations. Although statistics are not immediately available for every year of the building’s use, the figures for 1958 attest to the building’s popularity. During toe two years a total of 154 different groups used toe building for meetings and dinners. Os this total. 73 groups had dinners and a total of 18,813 meals were served. The groups ranged in size from a dinner party of eight people to a banquet with 537 attending. In toe same two-year period, 125,000 people passed through the center’s doors to attend such functions as meetings, showers, recitals, reunions, concerts, birthdays parties, receptions

i and toe Merchants* showcase. August said that the totals are slightly higher now. Youth Program And what of the youth program, the real reason for toe building’s existence? During the 1958-59 period 175,000 young people used the facilities of the Youth center and attended toe sponsored record heps. This figure does not include the various scouting units who use the private scouting rooms in the center. There is no charge for the youth of Decatur and surrounding area who wish to come to the center. There is, however, a small membership fee for those who wish to use the recreational equipment in the youth room. The youth room is open from 3:30 to 10 p.m. Monday, through Friday, from 1 to 10 p.m. on Saturday and from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. One of the youth supervisors, August, Watkins or Mrs. Beery, is present at all times. Usually toe room is well-filled, but it is kept open if even a small number are present “I feel that if one boy 1 comes here on one night and stays out of trouble for that night, then it is worth keeping toe center open for a whole week,* said center director August. August says that there has been some talk of making additions to the outdoor recreational facilities of the center, but that at present there are no definite plans for such additions. Among the additions which have been proposed are basketball courts, a baseball field, tennis courts and a swimming pool.
