the school authorities had granted per mission for use of a part of High School field for the playground
 While the committee has some mon ey on hand. raised last year through a Tag day effort, the sum is not suffi- cient to meet the expense of doing all of the things that it is desired to do in fitting the grounds for use. so 1t was decided that a play be given in June. the net proceeds to be turned in- to the playground fund. The cast of the play is to be selected from local amateurs.
 The committee has not planned to go into any elaborate equipment scheme for the grounds. but will use ntcessary flttings-such as swings, see-saws. sand piles. etc. In this ex- perimental way it will be possible to ascertain just how much interest there will be in the grounds. No action has been taken yet to arrange for a supervisor. but this matter may be given attention later.
