| be effected Friday night, when the| new center will be thrown open to the! public.

ent-teacher and citizens’ associationswill make use of the building and willenpourage its use as a center by allgroups in the neighborhood. For thepresent, Mrs. Edith H.

An experiencedinstructor will be in charge of thegymnasium and each Friday from 7to 8 o’clock an open period for boysof the community will be a featureof the center, when they are invitedto make special use of the gym,which later in the evening will be •used by basket hall groups.
