MEETINGS «Community residents are in- viated to attend the various meetings of the Park Hill Action Committee. If you've often wondered what goes on at these meetings, please feel free to drop in. The Governing Board Meeting is really not as forbidding as the name implies. Do you want to do something about a dangerous corner or a zoning violation? Then come to the Governing Board Meeting to be held this month at City Park Baptist Church at 5152 E. 17 th Ave. It will be in the Fellowship Hall at 7:45 p.m. on Monday night, Feb. 25. The next evening, Feb. 26, there will be a most exciting meeting at Smiley Jr. High School. Governor John Love will be the featured speaker at die Annual Town Meeting. Please see the story elsewhere on this page for details. One of the many committees handling specialized fields will hold its meeting on Thursday, Feb 28 at 7:30 p.m. The Publicity Committee is looking for more members who can write, or type letters, or make phone calls.

Kopel DU 3-2174 This Is Action! Do you sometimes wonder what the word " action' * in Park Hill Action Committee means? Do we really do enough to warrant all the noise and excitement? Following is a list of some of die things that the PHAC has been doing in the past few months. Take a look and judge for yourself whether or not we deserve the name ' * Action Committee*'. The Clean-Up Fix-Up Committee has been working on the Lights On, Crime Out Campaign. In connection with this the General Chairman of the PHAC, Richard E. Young, appeared on the Wayward Barker radio program on January 14. From the looks of Park Hill at night it seems that the campaign has certainly caught o n as many of the blocks are brightly lit from dusk to dawn. Regular monthly meetings have kept the Human Relations Committee busy. These meetings are always well attended and always interesting and exciting. If you want to meet some of the most interesting and intelligent people in Park Hill this is the place to come. At the present time the Committee is planning another Human Relations Workship to be held in March. The Membership Committee Chairman, Joe Meyer, has recently been appointed to the board of the Mayor's Commission on Community Relations. The Zoning Committee and its Chairman, Gerald Kopel, have been most active getting the ball rolling on the re-zoning that they are undertaking. Mr. Kopel has been collecting both names of people interested in taking petitions around and donations to defray the $500 that the re-zoning will cost. (See coupon elsewhere on this page.) On January 22 a meeting was held at Park Hill Congregational Church to discuss this project with the people of Park Hill. Theblockworkers will soon be around to your home with the petitions--look for theml Getting delegates from sponsoring churches is another activity currently taking place. The Publicity Committee each month edits the Actionews Page. They also make posters for the meetings of outer committees. At the present time they are winding up the publicity for the Town Meeting. The Schools Committee went to the School Board in November with further recommendations for the expansion program at Smiley. In addition to the girls gym, they asked that excavation under the new gym be done at this time for further shop rooms. When money would be available to finish these rooms, the shops could then be moved from die entrance area of Smiley and this space converted to other needed uses. The Schools Committee is now gathering membership data on schools in this area and considering whether to again ask the School Board for a return of the Ashley district to Smiley which is within walking distance of most of the pupils in this particular district. These pupils are now being bussed to Gove. If this return were effected, it would be a saving to the taxpayers because it would release two buses to be used where distances make bussing a necessity. Chicago Ideas Used By PHAC The conference on Religion and Race held in Chicago a month ago was of more than passing interest to the members of the Park Hill Action Committee. They were all very interested because, almost every suggestion that came out of" the Conrerence was one that the Park Hill Action Committee has been acting upon for over three years! One of the things suggested by the Conference was to educate people in order to wipe out the "fears and superstitions which are the basis of racial injustice." This has been one of the major goals of die PHAC since the beginning. Along this line, many of us in the PHAC have spoken before dozens of groups all over the city and suburbs. We have speakers and discussion panels available free to any group that is interested. They may be obtained by simply calling Mrs. Doris Shultz at FR 7- 1461. One complaint expressed at the Chicago Conference is that many areas would like to do something about the racial issue but do not have enough Negro participation -- this is one problem that the PHAC does not have as we have many hard working, intelligent and sincere Negroes working with us. Action Committee Sets Forth Ideals neighborhood, and to welcome them as neighbors, as they would any other family. It is not die purpose of our organization to keep Negro or other minority families out of Park Hill; nor are we promoting their movement into the area. We are merely seeking to apply the laws of God and man to die human relations problems that exist in this community. 4. We will actively support laws and practices intended to make any housing in the city and state available for purchase by any buyer into the Park Hill community. 5. We will seek to follow the Judeo - Christian conscience in our community in the treatment of any new neighbors, and will invite them to attend and join in the church of their choice in our community. 6. We will frequently consult with leaders of other races concerning problems of the community and will invite them to participate in the work of our committee. Following is the full text of the Park Hill Action Committee's statement on human relations: We recognize as one of the tenets of our common faith, the equality of all men before God, irrespective of race, creed or color. We support the American constitutional principle that all people are equal before the law. We believe that race, creed or color should have no effect on the right of any person to reside among us. Therefore, we adopt these principles as a guide to action in the field of human relations: 1. The basic program of the Park Hill Action Committee is one of civic action and education for all the residents of Park Hill. 2. We will seek to maintain Park Hill as a desirable and stable community predominantly composed of single family residences, without discrimination as to race, creed or color. 3. We will encourage white families both to avoid panic selling, if members of a racial minority group move into their Enhance Your Property Here's Your Chance To Get R-0 Zoning The Park Hill Action Committee plans to rezone most of the area between 25th to 32nd Avenue, from Colorado Blvd. to Kearney and Magnolia, from R-l to R-0 Zoning. This is the highest residential zoning available, and real estate men state that the higher zoning classification enhances and protects property values. It is not retro-active -- that is, if you live in the area and are conducting a home business now, you'll be able to continue doing this when R-0 zoning becomes effective. If you want to help in the rezoning, tear out this coupon and ..Vail to Cv.-rs*4 I> s'^-l, ^T-^Oh;>irTr<*r>, .5r 2801 Grape. Denver 7. Five Hundred Dollars is needed in order to accomplish the rezoning. The Park Hill Action Committee has offered to donate the first $100 for die project. The additional $400 will have to come -from the residents of the area. A $1 donation from each family signing the petition would adequately furnish the needed amount.
