SEEING HERSHEY from a vantage point at the Mil-ton
Hershey School is Dr. Shane MacCarthy (center),
executive director of the President's Council on Youth
Fitness. He is flanked by Community Club Director
Ralph L. Hoar (at left) and Hershey Estates Vice.
,President James E. Bobb.
Dr. MacCarthy was here last Thursday to see the
Hershey community's physical conditioning facilities,
and to make an appeal to an audience of 1,200 young
people in the Community Theatre for fuller participation
ul exercize.
In urging widespread improvement in physical con-ditioning
among the youth of the nation, Dr. MacCarthy
said: "This does not mean that the President's Council
on Youth Fitness is seeking to create a race of super-athletes.
What the President envisions is a general
upgrading of youth fitness throughout the land,
through maximum use of exercise and healthful rec-reation."
Dr. MacCarthy said Hershey's sports and recrea-tional
facilities "are magnificent — but that is not
enough. They must be used by the greatest number
of persons possible.
"We want to see youth councils for physical fit-ness
start among the young people themselves. A suc-cessful
youth fitness program must come from youth
itself, from the parents, from the schools, and from
the community leaders."

To Propose Garden Club For Hershey
A public meeting to dis-cuss

cussed, and the plans call for
organizational steps to be
taken if the response justi-fies
the action. Registration
of attendees will be taken at
the Little Theatre lobby as
they enter, for the record
only.
The Hershey Community
Club is fostering the develop-ment
of the idea of a local
garden club or horticultural
society as a result of much
expressed interest. However,
it was pointed out that the
organization would not be
operated as a Community
Club activity, but as a sepa-rate
and self-contained group.
Hershey, the site of the
world famous Rose Garden, is
a natural location for a thriv-ing
garden or horticultural
organization made up of its
citizens, and all indications
point to a successful venture
if enough interest is evi-denced
by the public.
