DISCUSS FLAWS FOR RECREATION HALL
Five representatives of the various
organisations in the Valley wet in
the basement of the Mhthnuska Valley
Lodge on December 19 to discuss a
plan for a Recreation Hall for the
children of the Valley.
It was suggested that the building at
the old sawmill site be moved into the
Community Center and used but it was
decided to postpone action on making
a decision in this matter until the
Alaska Rural Roha.bilitation-Corporation
could make a proposal .to rent the
Community Hall, under supervision, and
at a different rate of rental than is
in effect at present.
The building of a largo social hall by
the^various social organizations in the
Valley was discussed but no action was
taken on this pending the decision of'
the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corpora
tion "in regard to the local Community
Hall. The social hall’discussod would
contain a skating rink, bowling alloy
and other forms of recreation for the
grown-ups as well as for the youngsters.
Tho* n'ec'cs'sity for a community recreation
hall has lorn;, boon felt especially since
there is no place in the Valloy where tho
young folks can gather together at any
time. Such a hall would allow for super
vised play which is being developed in the
various cities and has been found to be
very successful,"
Tho members of the committee appointed to
investigate the possibility of a recreatio
hall were
John Csseward
A,A. Johnson
