Dear Dr. Allen:

| : ®
The officials of Sunflower Village are desirous of setting
up an adequate recreational program which will cover approx-
imately 300 children-of grade school age and 45 children of Ge
high school age. They are in need of assistance both in ea
setting up and supervising the program and also in the se- Ce eae
lection and purchase of equipment to be used. | se

 

It is my understanding that an ample appropriation is
available to cover these purchases and that the authorities
are urging that they not delay longer. With their lack of
knowledge of a project of this kind it is their desire to
call upon you for any and all assistance which you can see
your way clear to lend.

A program of this kind at Sunflower Village is very de-
sirable in that it is of benefit to the children themselves,
and in addition, with the plant operating on a three shift
basis so that parents must sleep at odd hours, these children
must be adequately supervised away from home.

 

 
  
    
  
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
  

It is the thought of the village authorities that there are
pupils in your department who might devote time to the oper-
ating of this program and obtain some credit toward their
class work as well as obtain practical experience.

However, before this possibility can be discussed it will
be appreciated if you can find it possible to survey this
project in detail and give the Sunflower Village group the
benefit of your experience in this.work.

The village officials are desirous of meeting with you at
your office, and if you will ‘phone me as to & convenient —
time I will be glad to arrange with them accordingly.

Thanking you for your courtesy, we «are
Very truly yours
