Teen Age Canteen

This is the second of a series of four articles written by Bill Hays about the Dart 'n' Arrow Canteen. At the directioa of the . Board of Directors of the Corporation, Mr. John S. Taylor appeared before the high school assembly in May, 1945, to explain to the high school children this new organization and to propose to them a contest for the selection of a name for the canteen which was to occupy the old Legion Home on North Court Street; Mr. Taylor also proposed to the children that they organize themselves into a canteen group and draw up their by-laws. Joe Lyday won the $5 prize for naming the canteen "The Dart 'n' Arrow"; a constitution and by-laws of the Dart ri' Arrows were drawn up by the children, working with the members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, and were adopted. These by-laws provided that any boy or girl between the ages of 13 and 19 who attends the public schools of Sullivan, including one year after graduation, is eligible for membership upon proper application and upon the payment of $1 per year dues (it has been lowered to fifty cents). The by-laws also provided for the election of canteen officers, as follows: mayor, chief of police, fire chief, secretary, treasurer, street commissioner and five councilmen. These officers were elected by the Dart 'n' Arrow members from their own number during May, 1945, and the Dart 'n' Arrow started operating at that time. Don Courtney, of Sullivan, was the first mayor of the Dart 'n' Arrow and Lee Russell is its present mayor. Originally, it was thought that the Dart n' Arrow would be open only three nights of the week. During November, 1945, however, upon petition by the members of the Dart 'n' Arrow, the Board of Directors of the . Corporation ordered that the Dart V Arow be opened every night of the .week, from 7:30 to 10:00, except or! ' Wednesdays,. Fridays; and Saturdays,, 'it. being closed on Wednesdays and opened on Fridays and Saturdays from 7:30 to 11:00. The first adult supervisor of the canteen was Mrs. Marie Ward Yaw, who agreed to serve as supervisor until a permanent one could be found. In January, 1946, Mr. Gabor Takats, the newly appointed assistant football coach and manual training teacher of the high school, was employed, with the school's permission, as the adult supervisor of the Dart 'n' Arrow. He was paid out of the treasury funds of Youth Recreation, Inc., supplemented by the income earned by the canteen through the sale of soft drinks and sandwiches to the canteen members. All bills were met in this manner. Early in the year 1946, consideration was first given by the board of Directors of the Corp.oration to a proposal that some way be worked out to finance the Dart 'n' Arrow canteen through local taxation so as to enable a full-time, trained sup - ,t,ic n k o i.,, long-term basis, because it was felt that the activity was important to the community and needed such an individual as its supervisor, and because the members of the Board held a deep conviction that the Dart 'n' Arrow should become a permanent institution in Sullivan, tak ing its place upon the same prominent and high level of endeavor as the school itself. The Board realized that it could not procure the services of a full-time, trained supervisor for the relatively small amount which it could afford to pay to Mr. Takats. With these thoughts in mind, the Board of Directors of the Corporation consulted with a Mr. Garrett FnnW of Indiana University, an expert in vnntVi ro-MMiti-n Mr Fnn pv proposed for the Board's con sideration an Indiana statute which provides for action by the Board of School Trustees in a town like Sullivan to establish a tax for the purpose of providing recreational facilities "on school grounds". Although the Canteen premises were not and are not at present "school grounds", they can be technically made such through a lease arrangement at a nominal rental, so as to qualify the Dart n' Arrow under this statute as being on "school grounds" and, therefore, falling under the potential benefit of this law. The Board decided to pursue this course as well as it could in the months to come.

agreeable to Hposier school The committee backed down from a decision to cut by three million dollars an original tenmillion - dollar appropriation which was to have been used to increase teachers' salaries from a minimum of $1200 a year to $1600. First passed by the Senate, the bill lodged in the powerful -House committee and there it was amended to cut the appropriation to seven million dollars. The bill was expected to move out of committee today and come up for second reading. When it does a committee spokesman will insert the amendment restoring the appropriation clause, the committee had removed. In the Senate today the gover nor's three-cent-a-pack cigarette 1 tax bill survived an effort to kilt it and the author of a highly ' controversial anti-closed shop bill withdrew his measure in the face of indications that it would not pass. The House also amended a bill calling for a referendum on the ' soldier bonus question, by knocking out an amendment which demanded that the voters favoring a bonus must also indicate where the money should come from to pay for it.
