We'd like.. to,see some of the following things in -it: ping pong, billiards.,-. croquinole•, 'card tables, record player, juke box, etc. . We know .that 'we'll' need the support 'of boththe youth•and adults of this. community to 'get. this started., Readers of your. paper could helpus by expressing their views by filling out the fol- lowing questionnaire and return-,.. .ing. it ,to Concerned Youth, c/o the Lucknow Sentinel.' • The problems ahead, of us from s.aiateriance standpoint are enormous:, but'when we see the kids respond to kind discipline', work proj.ecis , food, etc. , .get- ting back ;to school, and some back home , it warms Your heart.
