Forced Move
The Library, the Springs
ark. and the Recreation Con­or
were informed in budget
meetings last week that the
’(immunity Chest will he with­drawing
funds from their
groups for 1 9 63.
Tiie Biiblic Library and the
Park were told th a t they will
not be included in the 1963
budget. The Recreation Cen-er
was given a cut of one
third for 1 963, of two thirds
for 196 1, and told th a t in 1965
hey too will be dropped from
he list..
This move was made a fte r
lOintnun¡ties within the coun­ty
asked for aid from the
community chest for the ir local
organizations on the grounds
that other organizations with-n
the county, such as those
n Lititz, were receiving aid:
Thus the Chest, according to
local authorities, was forced
to drop all local organizations
from its rolls ra th e r th a n take
upon itself the prohibitive cost
of suppor ting “a l l” local or­ganizations.
The Lancaster County Com­munity
Chest Board then pass­ed
a resolution stating th a t
“Funds will be advanced for
local recreation, community
house, playground and sports
programs only under a plan
for gradual withdrawal from
support to these activities,
with payments to be made In
1963, equivalent to two thirds
of the 1 962 allotment and end­ing
in 190 1, with payments,
equivalent to one-third of the
1962 a llotment.”
