CIVIC CLUB BUYS
 PLAYGROUND FOR
 SCHOOL CHILDREN
(Wrangell SentineD

At the last meeting Of the Civic Improvement Club 1t was decided to purchase from Mrs. Minnie Rosenthal of Seattle the lot adjoining the school property on the southeast. This lot is to be used as children's play. ground, and will be deeded to the town The price paid for the lot was s400. Ii has a frontage of 39k feet, and ex- tends from Second street back to Cas- siar street.
 The mere purchase of lot for $400 is a small matter when considered solely as business transaction. But this purchase of playground for the school children by a few Wrangell ladies is an example of true philan- thropy. It required no little effort for the ladies Q raise the money need. ed The money was not raised by splurge but little at time, and it required constant and patient effort
 for long period.
 The town council, appreciating the efforts of the club, recently voted to
 duplicate any amount expended by the club in connection with the local pub | lie school. With s400 now available from the council the conditions the coming session will be greatly i'm proved over last year.
 Hats off to the ladies of the Civic 1 improvement Club.
