Jaycees Sponsor Booklet on Youth Center

With hundreds of letters flooding the desk of Betty Ward, Coral Gables War Memorial Youth Center director, in response to a story and pictures in the March edition of Life magazine, the Center has arranged to answer the numerous questions pertaining to its activities in a folder publication sponsored by the Jaycees. Miss Ward reported that letters are pouring in from every part of the United States and Canada requesting information and suggestions for other Youth Centers. The Center received its first letter from England last week in which the British intend patterning a Youth group after the Gables project. The Jaycees will publish 2,000 copies of the special folder which will bring facts and pictures about the Center from 1943 up to date. Along with the Center's schedule will be a picture of Betty Wagner, Life cover girl, who will autograph her photograph upon request.
