Donald Hartford as its Chairman (Mr. Hartford being present for the report presenta- tion) and that the Commission is presently composed of nine volunteer members who are very active and supportive of the Commission's goals.

Tobin, who informed the City Council that his agency has recently begun sponsoring two new activities not included in the report, those being (1) a pre-school educational pro- gram in cooperation with the City's Social Services Department and the City School System, and (2) a "Half-Way House" program for alcoholics, formerly undertaken by "Hope Harbor" (no longer in existence).
