"The new building is long past due, and, it has never been realized more than today, Mrs. W. G. Bowie, chairman of the Recreation Commission's board of directors savs.

Its present facilities are located in the old two-story Lewis Russell house built over 100 years ago, and some say nearly 200 far snow re its $91,000 And, this could be true considering that many of the petitions have been removed to make more space, it has weakened the entire structure. "The building is the only thing people complain about. As far as other facilities are concerned we are well off," Dan Vandiver. athletic director says Directly behind the house is a large tennis and basketball court, swimming pool and bath house, and play grounds. Mrs.

Bowie pointed out that a much better building is needed because of having to serve both the city and county.

SouaPs from the lake have dumped 150 inches of snow this winter. Hardy residents dig themselves out, then keep digging to make room for more snow before the next storm strikes. The city still has a long way to go before reaching the record present location, when and if r.vat time comes, and would prefer a gymnasium and also a separate wing for the library. It it hadn't been for the recreation commission, Abbeville may not have a Public Library, snowfall of 245 inches in the winter of 1899-1900, but in many areas of the city, there is no room for more snow. according to documents of its history.

It is open onlv two days a week. CRACKING UP Dan Vandiver. athletic director, Abbeville Recreation Center, points out one of the cracks in the walls of the old Russell house. It has housed the Abbeville Recreation Center and the Public Library since 1948. This room, which is the upstairs right, is not occupied because of its "frightening" condition.

Only books from the library are stored in it. (Index-Journal photos by Jack Clayton) WHAT'S LEFT SALE "You can pile it up only so high' Wednesday and Friday from 2 to 3 p.m. It has ar.iund a 2,000 book and then it rolls back down into! the street," W. R. Gallowav, head.

Since that time, with boyi and girls using it as "a place to go," it has become, "dilapidated." One room of the old house just recently received another patch to keep the place operable. However, this is only a "small r-ige" to house some equipment, trophies, and soft drinks for the icenage canteen. And in repairing this room, which the ceramics 'hop occupied before, it gave a little more space for teenagers to ance, play ping pong and checkers.

The ceramics shop moved Us equipment to a smaller space, making more room for the "Teenage Canteen." One person commented, "If the place is patched up one more time the whole house will fall in."
