Explaining the action Of the Fort

the Fairmount Park Commission, favor
ing Sunday games, Mrs. Joseph l..
Woolston, a Quakeress, said this after
noon that the club did not regard the
playing of games in the park on Sun
day afternoons as an interference with
church going.
1--WE specified in our letter that the
games should be allowed in the after
noon" she said. ''The country clubs are
omen for games and the restrictions on
amusements in the park do not permit
normal recreation to those who probably
need it most.
Little children go to the park III
thousands on Saturday afternoon and
play their games, but they cannot SC
much as throw a ball on Sunday.

action is Bolshevistic. The club mem
bers regard it as quite the opposite
We think that if people are allowed te
have normal recreation there will not bt
the excuse for revolution or disregard
for government.
I'm writing our petition we said tha
the recreation should be permitted il
accordance, with the week day rules o
the park. So far as we can discover
Boston is the only other large city tha
has such strict rules 'for Sunday OBJ
servance."
The Fortnightly Club is composed o
some forty women in Germantown ant
Chestnut Hill who meet every two week
for debate on current problem. The let
ter was approved by all members of tn
