A Center where our boys and girls can really enjoy themselves in clean wholesome entertainment is now really a reality. It is quite a bit of pleasure to the older peo- pie to know where their boys and girls are gathered now. They feel at ease because they know that when these youngsters are at the Service Center, they are chaperon- ed by people who really care. Already. the results of this Cen- ter are being felt. Our boys and girls no longer wander aimlessly around the streets. They know that there is a place where they may go every evening of the week to gather and meet friends of their own age, play games and exchange intelligent experiences, often with people with a wide range of know- ledge - as some.of the young men of the Service have travelled the world over, | ‘ It is the-hope of all concerned that this ‘Center’ will prove a home for the enlisted men away from home. ich credit is due to the willing workers who give so much of their time to chaperon our youngsters wii'e they are having fun. “We know that very soon we will "+ able to note a yast decrease in nile problems. >vaise goes to Fred Dion, one of ° most outstanding white citiz- :, for having donated a watch \-rhinsestone necklace outfit t was used to raise money for ‘2 Center, George White, a Navy ‘an located at Boca Chica, won 8 beautiful outfit which he is ling. to his mother for a Moth- 3 Day gift. ‘The Junior.

Roberts. Marie Welters Is Director Of Service Center Mrs. Marie Spaulding Welters is now the official directress of the | Service Center. No one is better able to carry out this great work than is Mrs, Welters who is a tire- less worker in all civic programs. Ever since she came to Key West, thirteen years ago, Mrs. Welters has been willing to help in any and all civic programs. She is the only past president of the Auxiliary to Walter Mickens Post 6021 and still is a very active member. She works most diligen- tly with the Cerebral Palsy Asso- ciation, is a most active member of the Woman’s Civic Club and donates her time to general relief whenever needed, Parents can rest at ease when such a person as Mrs. Welters is looking out for their children. Be- ing a most devoted mother herself she takes each youngster's prob- lems ‘into consideration. In talking with her you will soon discover that she desires for your: child the same good things in life that she desires for her daughter, Ursula, She in now engaged in teaching the girls many worthwhile things through learning as well as through example. Mrs. Welters desires the public to stand by her in ‘her new work and to offer such suggestions as will help build better womanhood among our girls; She wants. par- ents and friends to drop by the Center often. She wants you to feel that you are always welcome. She has @ keen regard for our boys in Srevice. She realizes that they are not all angels and that they come from varied environ- ments, however, it remains that these boys are making great sac- rifices that we may live in Peace. Her plea to all citizens is to make these’ boys feel that we appreciate them and to let them: know that we are always willing to help them.

It may be a hub aound which revolves. the child’s training.
