COLLECTING FUNDS ! FOR FAIRGROUNDS

Rev. John R. Brown, chairman of the recreation committee. is procuring funds for a recreation survey of Bridgeport which will probably be made by some representative of the Playground Association of America. The survey is intended to show what commercialized amusement such as theatres, dance halls. saloons. pool rooms. etc.. are doing for the leisure time of the people and what private socials accomplish. tf l
 Rev. MT. Brown says if five hours are devoted to recreation byeeach Of 10000 workers of the city each day, 1t means that 100000 hours are be- ing used negatively, indifferently or actively for the advancement of each one. More than 100 citieslin America now have public supported systems of recreation for young and oldf The commission will consider establishing such a system here., .e
