Mmd a oftcUl pm Additional Parent Support Is Urged In Dugway Youth Activities Program by fJ DqMt I h limit by DtprtMrt sonnel try to give more money, time and talent to the youth activities program. 1. THE PROVISION of clean, healthy and wholesome social and recreational activites for our children is of particular concern to the undersigned. S. Today, DPG has approximately 770 children of school age. Youth activities currently in pro gress at this installation include the Teen Club, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Junior NRA, Little League ssaseoa II, Babe Ruth League, Tennis, Bowling, Softball, Basketball, and Swimming. Although we are proud M these activites, parental support is urgently needed. 31 Parental support can be given in many ways. One need not have the talents of an instructor arts or crafts to be of invaluable assistance to our youth programs. Just to be there as a chaperon in the teen Club on Wednesday, Friday or Saturday evening; chaperoning a group of our teens to a skating party or at a dance: or any of a myriad of other possibilities contributes significantly to the success of the programs. 4. WHILE IT IS possible to provide limited assistance to this program, the provision of special equipment, services and personnel supervision is not authorized under current regulations. Therefore we must have parental support and participation. Dugway Proving Ground will be as good, and have as many activities as you and I, as parents, care to provide for our children. 5. There are innumberable activities that are within our scope of presentation provided we are interested enought to help. Any amount of time and other resources, to include financial assistance you can contribute, will add to the sum total of wholesome programs we can offer our children. d 8. A wholesome, program of social and recreational activities for our children is essential inasmuch as this installation is separated by long distances from large population centers and available transportation thereto from DPG is very limited. Here is an excellent opportunity to help in the molding of the character of young America. 7. ASK YOURSELF two questions. What can I do? What will I do? You, as parents, and others interested in supporting our youth programs will have an opportunity to answer these questions and volunteer your time and services in any manner when asked to join the DPG Youth Activities Club in : - " " the very near future. 8. To those who have been and are currently contributing their time and services to the youth activities now in progress, we extend our sincere appreciation and request that you continue to give to this worthy cause.
