WHAT VOIR PEERES CAN DO

Before the Defense Recreation Committee makes any
blue-prints for a volunteer service program, it should
find out what type of activities are wanted and needed
in the commmity. It is better not to start too many
volunteer prejecté at ane. Begin with only a few and
concentrate on sna them successful. Before organ-
izing any projects look around to see what expert leader-
ship is available in your commmity. A former big
league baseball player can be called on to organize

and coach a baseball team or league for young boys s

or a twilight sorttall league for men factory workers.
Or some one with good theatre experience may be itching
to organize a dramatics program; or a trained musician,
a choral or orchestral group. The local Civilian De~
fense Volunteer Office, if it has already been set up
and has registered volunteers, will know available
qualified people.

The choice of projects will be as wide as the talents
and interests of the people in your community. You will
find in the veges that follow a list of activities in
which volunteers can engage. Some few projects will re-
quire paid recreational leaders, but not nearly all.

Only a small number call for a considerable expenditure.
