DISCONTINUE
FAIRGROUNDS
LACK OF CONTRIBUTIONS MAY
PREVENT THEIR OPENING
NEXT SPRING.
Recreation Manager W. Francis Hyde's
Services TO End November I.

The services OF Recreation Manager
w. Frances Hyde OF the Wheeling
Playground Association. was dispensed
with at meeting OF the board OF d.
.rectors OF the organization. held yes
terday afternoon In the assembly room
OF the Board OF Trade. Mr.. HYDE will
continue In his official capacity until
November I. at which time all the
Wheeling Fairgrounds will be closed
for the season. and IL Is very likely
that they viii not be re-opened next
spring. unless there are more liberal
contributions to maintain them.
Al the meeting II was shown that
every dollar thus far donated toward
the Fairgrounds for the year had been
used. and that the Golfer was empty
II was further shown by reports that
the Fairgrounds this year bad been
the most successful. most enjoyable
and the most largely frequented IN
the several years existancc The
grounds have been maintained solely
by personal contributions. and every
dollar has been spent for the recre-
alton. educational and enjoyment OF
the thousands of children of the Wheel
ing district. II was further decided
at the meeting that the social centers
at the schol buildings. that were con-
Quoted last winter. will also be discon-
tinued
Resolution comr,endo Hyde.
In disposing OF Mr.. Hyde. n resolu-
ton adopted and spread on the min
utes OF the association was read. the
board expressing it's regret that be-
cause Of financial conditions. that the
association was forced TO let him go.
me resolution in part read in com
needing Mr.. Hyde. that his services
we're entirely satisfactory and that II
was with extreme regret that the asso-
citation was compelled TO dispense with
his services. that the organization
heartily commended him upon the
great and good work done i'm bringing
about the Fairgrounds 10 the ideal per-
lection. and that the members of the
board of directors would be pleased
individually and collectively to recon-
mend Mr.. Hyde as an able. proficient
and most capable recreation manager.
II Is understood that the assistants
connected with the association will
also be continued with the organiza-
ton until November I. when they. too.
viii sever their connections.
After considerable discussion II was
decided TO discontinue the playground
work and social center entertainments
II was shown that there had been com
paratively few who had by contribu-
tons made IL possible 10 continue he
Fairgrounds. II is the hope OF all in
terested in the association that II will
be possible to continue the play
grounds next year. which can be done
II donations are sufficient.
Among the directors at the meeting
yesterday were: Mrs. c. r. Hubbard.
acting president: Mrs. Leo Wolf. Miss

tent by saying that he probably went
farther than he should. and that no
