TOWN OF DOUGLAS
DOUGLAS RECREATION COMMITTEE
Mr. Robert J. Frost, Chairman Board of Selectmen Douglas, Mass.
Gentlemen:
It is the policy of the commission to give the young people of the community the broadest possible recreational program possible with the funds and facilities available to us. We would like to point out the additions to our program in 1965.
First: Co-sponsorship with the School Committee in starting a winter recreational program at the High School gym, consisting of basketball, volleyball, badminton and ping pon for all school children from the fourth grade up. The Recreation Committee furnished all equipment for this program, while the School Committee has pro- vided the supervision.
Second: Addition of a One Mile Road Race to our Track and Field Meet as a memorial to Charles "Dorsey" Devlin, a former com- missioner and pioneer in recreational programs for our youngsters.
Third: Sponsored a Town Basketball Team with considerable financial aid from the Douglas Fish and Game Club, the Joseph J. Michna Post, V.F.W. and the Hayward Schuster Woolen Mills.
Fourth: Purchased baseball equipment for the purpose of form- ing a baseball league with Northbridge and Uxbridge for boys between the ages of 13 and 15 for 1966.
With all of the progress that we feel has been made to date, it is our ardent desire to promote more recreational activity for girls. If anyone has any suggestions, your commission would be very happy to hear them.
