devote their full time to plans for Sunflower personnel and for
cooperation with school officials in the organization of regional
play centers, the revised figures are submitted for approval of the
city council,

Having been assured that the city schools could make supplementary
application (following approval of their original) for funds to
provide leadership for before and after school hours, the item for
regional playground and park supervision has been tmitted from our
estimate, If at all possible, howevery 1,000 leadership hours,

$500, should be added to the reduced budget to make possible some
supervision specifically assigned to parks; the original plan was

to combine the park supervision with regional playgrounds, using the
services of one assistant director or recreation supervisor to their
vs te and to the organization of North Lawrence as a model
neighborhood or community center,

‘The reduced figures provide for janitor service only for the Community
building for those hours during which the space is used for recreation
purposes, far cleaning after such use and preparation therefor, The
park attendants, whose inclusion seemed highly desirable, have been
eliminated, Such suppleméntary janitor service is covered under the
general heading of "leadership hours" in order to give sufficient
elastieity to assignment of duties of available workers, It is thought
likely that, exclusive of the director, asst. director, and office
stenographer-clerk, the workers will have to be hired.on an hourly
basis, since trained recreation leaders are difficult to obtain when
the competition for their services is keen, The Lawrence program is
more fortunate than are those of many localities in that several
trained or experienced women are living in town and university students
in the process of training for such work could be secured by the hour,
The leadership item as it stands does not provide for any extended
program in the Community building nor in the parks, but it does mean
that the gym, the game room, the office, and the service ments rogram
will have supervisory personnel, and that the colored people will
have continued leadership. Supervision of the weaving project is
included for 30 hours a week, and office and clerical help is carried
under the leadership item,

Any éxpansion of the program beyond its present hourly operation is
dependent upon two potentialities; the extent to which the program can
be made self-supporting, and the amount of volunteer leadership that
is available. A third possibility is that we may be able to secure
some reliable leaders on an hourly basis for less than 50 an hour,
but the "going rate" makes it unlikely. Many activities, especially
those for Sunflower employees whose number includes many organizers
and leaders and who are more than willing to contribute their share

of the financial burden, can be almost self-supporting.
