ment was made yesterday by Rev.
John T. Winters, pastor of the
church, at which time envelopes for
the purpose were distributed. While
no added collections were taken at
the time the playground was first
opened the parish bearing the entire
expense alone, there are running ex-
penses each year that must be met
by the people of the parish. Owing
to the fact that St. Mary's athletic
field is open to the public regardless
of creed, and that it is widely used
by the general public, Father WiK-
ters said that he hopes the time will
come when the city government will
realize this and that an appropria-
ton can be arranged for it's MAIN
tenance, in spite of the fact that the
parish owns the property.
This field was, @ few years ago,
transformed from a pasture into
very desirable athletic field. Some
day, this land will undoubtedly be
added to st. Mary's new Catholic
cemetery, as it was purchased for that
purpose. The cemetery, however has
sufficient land for several years to
come, and the field will not be need
ed for its ultimate purpose for some
time. Father Winters urges that the
people be generous in their contribu-
tons as any money put into the de-
velopment of the field will not be
wasted. 1t is the hope of Father
Winters that the wonderful work at
the field may continue under as
good conditions as can be provided
and that the parish will not be
obliged to lessen It's program for lack
of proper funds.

innate modesty of the man. In his

to the conclusion that it was only the

cruel, yelled illusions to his missing
