pected to take definite steps, however. in asking the city to provide seats in those parks where they are now missing and keeping the parks clean and attrac- tive to the neighborhoods.
 It is probable that organized or mass plays in the parks will be planned by the committee and recommendations made to the city authorities to adopt such pro- gramme in the interest of thousands of children who need to be taught how to play.
 EFFECTS CHARACTER
 In speaking of this plan, MT. Moore said:
 "The character of children can be vitally affected for their good by intelli- gent carefully directed team play. If we can strike hands with Commissioner Brown in his appeal for more appropria- tions for such constructive service, I feel that great good must result"
 Birmingham has a creditable ratio of park area to the total area of the city, though it falls below the average of the leading cities in this wholesome feature of community life. With a total of $40 acres that the city paid. less than $1.0o0- GOO for. it is the opinion of the commit tee that the situation warrants a much lerger- annual expenditure upon the opera tion and equipment of the park system.
 The Civic Association committee is composed of E. l.. Moore, chairman w. T. Parker, Jerome Tucker, Prof w I. Pittman, H. M. Henderson. R. P, Me Gowan. E. D Henley, r. M. Lynch, liar ris Saunders, Frank l.. Iollar, Forney Brandon, Jay Smith and Nj. P. Phillips.
