RELAX, HAVE FUN:
Dunbar Center Abounds
W ith Christmas Spirit
By SARAH DRASIN
Dunbar Community Center is aI
name not too familiar to most
University students; to a great
many Ann Arbor folk, however,
the Center is a place to relax, re-
lease creative ability, and have
fun in an atmosphere which
abounds with Christmas spirit 3651
days a year.
"Dunbar is a place," according
to Virginia Wilson Ellis, program
director, "where the whole fam-
ily comes to enjoy themselves. We
endeavor to help , them become
helpful members of the commu-
nity."
It isn't too difficult to miss the
Center if one is rushing past.
The old red brick home at 420
N. 4th looks very much like the
neighboring family houses except
for the unpretentious sign which
reads, "Dunbar Community Cen-
ter," and a very little sign on
the door signifying the almost al-
ways present children, "Scrub the
snow off your shoes with the
broom before you come in!"
Once inside, the concern for the
Center's appearance displayed by
the sign on the door is again evi-
dent in the neat appearance of
DCC.
First floor consists of a tele-
vision lounge, office, activities
rooms and kitchen. Upstairs there
are more activities rooms with
construction paper, paste jars, and
books stacked high on the shelves.
Christmas preparations are now
well intprogress with all the spe-
cial interest groups making plans
CAMP

for parties, coloring cards, mak-
ing stockings to take home, and
helping to decorate the big Dun-
bar Christmas tree with their
khome-made decorations.
Only difficulty with children
making decorations, Mrs. Ellis,
chuckling, will tell you is that the
children get so excited, they take
the decorations home to show
their parents and the Center ends
up buying decorations anyway.
In the basement recreation
room ping-pong and pool are
available and throughout the year
special activities are planned.
Center is open seven days a
week for teas, potluck suppers,
arts and crafts, and singing
groups.
In the midst of the bustle, the
staff reigns.
Headed by Douglas E. H. Wil-
liams, executive secretary, and
Mrs. Ellis, the only "professional"
workers, the staff is supplemented
by Mr. and Mrs. Donald Calvert,
resident workers, and many vol-
unteers.
One of the volunteer workers,
Ada B. Hill, an Ann Arbor resi-
dent, has been donating her time
every Wednesday for twenty years
to the story-telling hour. Other
volunteers come from the Uni-
versity's recreational leadership
classes and the community-at-
large.
Dunbar Center has not always
served the purpose it does now.
It was founded in the early
twenties by Rev. R. M. Gilbert,
pastor of Second Baptist Church
and was named after Negro poet,
Paul Lawrence Dunbar. It served
originally as a residence for Ne-
gro transient workers.
Since that time the Center, now
supported by money from the
United Fund, private contribu-
tions, and membership fees for
those who can afford it, has ex-
panded rapidly.
Although it attracts mostly Ne-
gro families in the area, Mrs. El-
lis noted, other children of the
community are beginning to at-
tend, especially inthegnursery
school.
List Fishing,
Ski Facilities
A 48-page book describing in
detail facilities at ski resorts and
ice fishing centers of Western
Michigan has been published by
the West Michigan Tourist and
Resort Association.
The book will be mailed free to
anyone who requests it. It is also
available at tourist information
offices at Grand Rapids, Lansing,
Detroit, Chicago and other mid-
western cities.
Four new ski areas are listed in
the publication, increasing to 21
the number that will be operated
in Western Michigan this winter.

MUSIC SHOPS -
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. WP)-A new
moon may be discovered late this
fall by amateur observers practic-
ing for their part in the earth sat-
ellite program.
Dr. Fred L. Whipple, director of
the Smithsonian Astrophysical Ob-
servatory at Harvard University,
says discovery of such a moon is
conceivable because "this is the
type of thing that's never been
tried before." _)
When the volunteer observers-
already numbering in the hun-
dreds-take their stations for the
first test of the observatory's visual
satellite observation program, the
sky through the mid-United States
will be blanketed for the first time.
More pairs of eyes will be syste-
matically looking skyward than
any time in the past. It is faintly
possible that this blanket coverage
will result in detection of small
heavenly bodies missed by scientif-
ic observation in the past-which
has always been concentrated in
relatively few locatioins.
Posts in 71 Cities
The accompanying map lists the
71 cities in the United States where
visual observation posts are being
set up. Dr. Armand N. Spitz, co-
ordinator of the observer program
whichhas the nickname "Moon-
watch," says more posts are being
organized constantly. He hopes the
numbet will reach 200 by the time
the artificial earth satellite begins
its pourney into space next year.
Few of the cities on the map
have as yet completed arrange-
ments for their stations. But ac-
cording to Dr. Spitz, groups in
each have signified their inten-
tion of participating in Moon-
watch.
The first practice run for the
visual observation program may
come this month. Others will be
crossbar, they will cover a specified
"strip" in the sky.
Each volunteer observer will be
equipped with a small telescope or
binoculars. He will maintain his
post-and wait.
When a body is sighted in the
air, he will report his finding but
will not swerve his instrument to
follow its course. After it passes
out of his field of vision, it will be
picked up by the observer stationed
next to him.
Thus, the object will be tracked
across the field covered by the
observer station and its course and
position reported to the observa-
tory's headquarters. The observa-
tory will keep track of the object
and inform other stations of any
change in course or speed.
When the practice runs are over
and the satellite is launched, from
Patrick Air Force Base at Point
Canaveral, Fla., the observers will
be responsible for continuous
tracking and reporting of its
course. For two weeks a radio
transmitt r inside the sphere will
send out a signal, permitting sci-
entists to keep precise track of
the satellite.
Once the power for this signal
dies out, however, visual observa-
tion will take over entirely.
Observer stations will be most
valuable in southern states, Dr.
Whipple said, since the satellite in
expected to follow a course bring-
ing it over that area most fre-
quently.

During the trial workouts, ob-

As the yuletide season approach-
es, Christmas cards, traditional
symbols of holiday spirit, soon ap-
pear on the scene.
C a m p u s merchants prepared
early for the Christmas onslaught
and are well stocked with cards
of all sizes, shapes, prices and
types.
Various degrees of time and
thought are put into Christmas
cards by students.
Many would like to "do-it-them-
selves" by designing and printing
their own cards but lack of time
usually intervenes in favor of the
'store-bought" variety.
Students Shop For Ideas
Some students shop at all the
stores in order to get ideas for the
cards they plan to make However,
as an art student discovered, a
student may see cards he likes so
well that he buys them, forgetting
creative aspirations.
To some, the sending of Christ-
mas cards is merely a social ob-
ligation. These people make only
a token effort to buy a box of
cards and hastily scribble a cheer-
ful greeting.
At Christmastime students seem
to prefer conventional cards, al-
though studio cards are gaining
in popularity.
Cards Are Confiscated
Christmas cards carefully chosen
by parents for their friends will
often be confiscated by son or dau-
ghter "too busy to bother" buying
their own.
Rare though they may be, there
are those whose cards have been
signed, sealed and ready to be de-
livered since summer.
Much time and energy is spent
by many people choosing a special
card for a special friend.
Everyone likes to receive a card
with that extra personal touch and
the philosophy of many card-
buyers. seems to be "I give what I
like to receive."
'Why Send Cards?'
"Why should I send Christmas
cards?" another student asked. "I
can simply say 'Merry Christmas'
to those friends I see often and as
far as the others that I've lost con-
tact with-I've lost their addresses
anyhow!"
New Year's cards do not have
the popularity of Christmas cards
and are considered superfluous by
many students.
Some admitted that the only
time they ever send New Year's
cards is when they have received
a Christmas card from someone
whom they had neglected.
Humorous or sarcastic cards are
often sent to herald in the New
Year.
Although most holiday cards
land in the wastebasket after a
brief display on the family mantel,
some individuals save and use
them for such projects as scrap-
books for hospitals.
