Urbana begins drive for recreation amid growth surge
Urbana residents form Recreation Council to tackle near total lack of facilities. The group, guided by Parks Director Gilbert Kingsbury, aims for short term programs and surveys showing demand for a pool, tennis courts, playgrounds, and youth activities while long term goals include a park despite 1983 funding limits. Officer Walter May earns praise for reviving a newborn Joshua James with CPR after a roadside rescue.
