City Recreation Plans Stymied By Lack Of Full Time Director
Beckley recreation officials failed to secure a full time director for the city program after Albert Bleisfuss declined a director post. They planned to widen their search and consider part time options while funding six local grade schools for hard surfaced basketball courts if no leader is found in weeks. Kiwanis members pledged support to rally service clubs and push the program forward. Treasurer Larew reported year expenditures of 1,269.7 dollars and a balance of 9,471.22.
