Godfrey Home
Is Made Negro
Social Center
Dunbar Association, Ann Arbor
colored people's organization, an-
nounced yesterday the purchase of
the Godfrey home on N. 4th Ave.
for transfer of its agencies before
April 1.
The action was taken after ap-
proval by the board of the Commun-
ity Fund Association and is in ac-
cordance with recommendations
made last spring following a survey
of the Negro situation in Ann Arbor
by an outside investigator. This sur-
very revealed that the center of the
Negro population had moved from
the present location of the Center on
E. Catherine St., to near Jones
School, where the new building is
located. It is also part of a large
program of development and en-
largement of old facilities being un-
de rtaken.
The Dunbar Association is the so-
cial center for the Ann Arbor Negro
community and is the center of club
work, children's scout work and ath-
letic clubs and activities, and ad-
ministration of Negro community
needs. It has been active and influ-
ential in Ann Arbor for over 20 years.

Referring to the problem of ac-
commodating tourists, Mr.'Standing
said, "The Forest Service attempts
to encourage camp ground develop-
ment which is conducive to the safety
and physical welfare of the public.
We seek to tender this service to the
people without any charge and are
preventing the establishment of car-
nical type concessions whose purpose
it is to reap profits."
