Boys and Girls Enjoy Youth Centers Throughout State
Youth Centers
'In Alabama
With the organized effort of
local agencies to advance the
development of youth centers
and clubs throughout the state,
Alabama boys and girls will this
Summer enjoy the privileges of
supervised fun in attractive sur-
roundings. Many communities
have well established centers
frequented by hundreds of
youth. In view of the critic~l
railroad transportation situation,
it is very timely for cities and
towns to provide recreation for
its youth "in their own back
yards."
If a community has a youth
center or some designated place
for the children to meet, the
parents know where their chil-
dren are and feel that they are
being educated to the better
things of life, receiving training
that will result in better man-
hood and womanhood.
"Royalteen" Draws
Mobile Youth
In the Spring of 1944, the Junior
League of Mobile met with the Mo-
bile Council of Social Agencies to
fJ.iscuss the need of a teen age club
in Mobile. As a result of this meet-
ing the League decided to devote
1944-45 to a teen age project.
A suitable building was secured,
repairs and improvements made to
suit needs.
This club operates on a six month
period basis, dues $2.00. At present
the enrollment is 611. The club is
open to any high school student of
Mobile 14 through 18 years old or
senior in high school.
Royalteen is open 3 p.m. to 6 p.m
week days and 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Friday and Saturday.
Officers consist of a President,
Vice-president, Secretary, and
Treasurer, who plan activities for
the club. These are various table
games, a "juke box", and a snack
bar. Space is limited to one big
room and there is a continuous
"flow" of music and dancing.
It is the boys and girls own dub,
where they meet their friends, chat,
and enjoy their leisure in whole-
some recreation.

Fame of the Jacksonville, Florida
Teen Town Club has spread to Eng-

Corporation planned a special
broadcast on May 25 at which time
the Jacksonville Club and its lead-
ers were honored by the youth of
