Civic Club Works For
Additional Fairgrounds

One of the strongest hackers of the
movement to provide comprehensive
system of Fairgrounds and parks for
Steelton Is the Steelton Civic Club.
For years this organization has urged
the development of Kelker Park and
the opening of several Fairgrounds.
Until last year, when it was decided
to abandon the plan on account of a
lack of interest on the part of the bor-
ough authorities. the Civic Club con-
Quoted playground in the West Side.
Prior to that another play place had
been maintained on Cottage Hill. An
instructress was employed by the club
at its owr expense.
When the West Side playground was
closed the Civic Club did not abandon
its activities in behalf of the children.
Instead, an active campaign was COM
menced with view of getting the bor-
ough authorities to provide play
grounds. Although as yet there has
been no tangible results from this
campaign. the demand for recreation
places for the borough's small folks
is increasing and 1t will not be long un-
til Council will be heady to make some
provision along these lines.
Wants More Fairgrounds

of Brightbill & Wright. and president
Of the Municipal League.
Mr.. Wright was asked whether he
thought the plans of Warren II. Man
ming, the landscape architect, for the
development of Kelker park could be
fully carried out. These plans, it must
be remembered. include much land in
the proposed park that does not now
belong to the borough.
II see no reason why Mr.. Manning's 5
plans cannot be carried out to the let
ter" said the Municipal League presi-
dent.
while the architect has been rather
liberal in the use of land not owned
by the borough, 1 believe that if the
authorities can come to full realiza-
ton of the real need in Steelton for a
comprehensive system of parks and
Fairgrounds and do their share toward
obtaining them. then 1 believe prop
erty owners whose land has been in
cluded in Mr.. Mannings plans could
see their way clear to donate this
ground for recreation purposes.
According to the plans drawn by
Mr.. Manning, u large slice of land now
owned by Brightbill G. Wright is in
Guided in the proposed park.
Site for Entrance
This land extends from Sixth and
Swatara streets 10 kelker park. 1t
cuts diagoually through q plot about
700 feet square and is intended to be
used as the site for the formal en-
trance to the new park. In the plans
the proposed road would be about fifty
feet wide and would take an easy
grade from Sixth and Swatara streets
to the park. 1t is this tract that it is
thought Messrs. Wright and Brightbill
would donate to the borough IL Kelker
park development is continued.
That his rrn would be willing to
donate this tract to the borough pro-
vided the municipal authorities took
some action that showed they intended
to carry out Mr.. Manning's plans along
other lines was intimated rather
strongly by Mr. Wright.
MFR. Wright Leader
AS president of the Municipal League
Mr.. Wright has been one of the lead
ers in the campaign to obtain COM
prehensive system of parks and play
grounds for Steelton. Time and again
when interest IN the project Jagged
and folks forgot that there was such a
place as Luther r. Kelker park await
ing development Mr.. Wright would ad-
vance some scheme that would again
bring the matter before the public.
When the suggestion that field day
exercises be held was made by Warren
Fl. Manning, since the municipal au-
thorities were unable tc provide the
funds with which to undertake the
development of the tract, Mr.. Wright
was one of the first men to see the
value of the plan and urge its adop-
ton. From the very outset of the
campaign for tho first field day, which
proved so successful. the Municipal
League president worked increasingly
for Its success. Not only did he do
much toward perfecting the organ
ization of committees. but he lent val
liable aid by undertaking much of the
executive work himself.
Results Please Him

surprised and greatly pleased with the

Outlines Plans For
Comprehensive System

Charles S. Davis, chairman of the
park committee of the Municipal
League, principal of the Steelton High
school and one of the most active
boosters of the park development in
statement to the Telegraph outlines
his ideas about park plans. He says:
mo time should be lost in working
out satisfactory solution of Steel
tons park problem. Every wooded
tract within easy reach of the borough
should be acquired with sufficient ad-
ditional ground added and planted
with trees to provide park facilities for
the future needs of the town
KeIker Park First
"The first work before us is to
beautify and make available the tract
we now have, the Luther r. Kelker
park. Considerable work has been
done, we hope to see more done on
Saturday but the large things remain
to do. These include the new street
from Swatara to Spruce and Park ave-
nue., a proper entrance at the latter
place, bridge across the stream, dams
for wading pools, graded driveways,
bandstand, etc.
What Should Follow
"The second step should be to a~-
quire the wooded tract back of tho
present park and leading to the Reser~
voir Some additional land purchases
there and planted with trees woulN
provide beautiful hilltop park.
From the Reservoir a short stretch
would bring us down through the
wooded ravine in Pine street. Again
from the Reservoir a short stretch
would lead to another partly wooded
ravine running toward the County
Home where Connection could be made
with the Harrisburg Parkway.
"The Pine street ravine could be
connected at Harrisburg street with
the wooded part of the Adams street
ravine, which should also be develop
ed. There are also possibilities of
preserving wooded strips along Swat
ara street. These are all within easy
reach of the heart of the town. Other
tracts lying farther east and west
should also he acquired, thus working
out comprehensive plan that viii do
much for the happiness and welfare
of our people"

UNCLE JUDS ADVICE TO
ADVERTISERS

Newspaper advertising should
be looked on in this way; It's
either an Investment, worth the
cost, and bound to pay, Or it's
something that a fellow'd bet
ter not attempt at all To dabble
in it makes what / a wicked
waste would eall. First rid
yourself of the idea, whoever
put it there, That you will spend
some amount whatever you
can spare" If you expect from
your investment adequate re-
turns; If you'd increase and null
tiply the sum your money earns,
The volume of the returns de-
sired should be proportionate to
the sum you spend--I hope, my
friend,I make this plain to you.
The merchant whose announce
ments are worth money, say, to
me, Will find his customers in
creasing very rapidly; While if
the other fellows advertising
outshines yours, Folks will be-
lieve his goods are best, and buy
them just as sure's Pm writing

want a slice you'll ponder on
these words and profit reap from
my advice.

Better weight hogs, kinds 100
pounds upwards, are the popular
sellers among all buyers, even
packers, these days, and are
moving with the most freedom.
The bulk Of the receipts on the
other hand are those weighing
ITS pounds and less that are not
selling to as good advantage.
This in particular is the case
with 140 to 100 pound weights
which are too heavy to sell at
pig prices and are not heavy
enough to get in line with strong

sale is slow and irregular.
