This statement must be a
source Of satisfaction to multi
tudes Of our people who have
long pondered the park question
and are eager to see steps taken
to the end that we may provide
ourselves with the rest and rec
reation centers which are neces-
sary adjuncts of any community
that makes amy pretensions to
looking after the pleasure and
comfort Of its citizens. 1t is graf.
flying, indeed, to learn from such
a source that nature has provid-
ed us with places well adapted
to park purposes.
We believe the people Of Chick
asha are ready to go forward
with these longsrGrtled improve
ments and are willing to invest
their money in them. A park
system would add vastly to the
desirability of Chickasha as a
place to live and would thereby
enhance the value of all property
here. 1t would tend to bring
more people here and make per
manent residents of them. When
the best possible plans have been
