Still Much To
Do For Children
CONTINUED from page /,

The play grounds OF Perth Amboy
should be developed to a far greater
degree than they are today; every
body who thinks Of the children's
welfare realizes this fact. what we
need is more nurses, more baby
clinics" says Mrs. Adrian Lyon.
I'VE need pure milk stations
where mothers can be sure of get
ting the right floor for their chill
dren." says Mrs. C. c. Baldwin. head
of the Community Association.
But more than these, the local
women feel there is need for super
vised play, a need for all year round
recreation for children of school age.
A need of a systematic program of
Fairgrounds, developing from year
to year, instead of make shifts in the
summer months. Mrs. Adrian Lyon,
chairman of the Civic Committee of
the Womans Club, and Mrs. Frank
Dorsey, agree in this, and state it
most emphatically.
The Fairgrounds in Perth Amboy
at the present time offer the children
many amusements, such as swings,
play houses, games and other at
ractions but still many things which
attract the children are missing.
The Hayes track. furnished the best
opportunity for development. Sit
uated on the river bank and sur
rounded with trees, it is ideal for
all sorts of amusements that chill
dren crave. One of the big attrac-
tons at this playground is the river.
This body of water makes an ideal
place for the little folks to wade and
for the older children to battle, but
with the sewer emptying, as it does,
at the foot of the street, the sewer
age floats about the beach near the
track and makes it unhealthful for
the use of the children.
other Fairgrounds which are not
so near the water. may also be equip
ped with wading facilities, by the
building of wading pools similar to
those which have been built success
fully in the Fairgrounds of larger
cities. These are kept clean and
filed with fresh, pure water and are
one of the greatest delights of the
children.
OF u 1t is impossible to make
these Fairgrounds ideal within a few
months. but as suggested by Mrs.
Lyon and Mrs. Dorsey, they could
be developed by systematic pro-
gram of Fairgrounds, developing
from year to year, instead of make
shifts in the summer months" The
question to be answered by the peo-
pie of this city is whether or not
they are willing to spend the money
necessary to give to the children
ideal Fairgrounds and this may be
decided by asking themselves the
following questions: Where would
II rather have my little boy or girl
play on midsummer days-in the
dirty back yard, with only discarded
crates and tin cans to play with.
where they may pick up rusty nails
resulting possibly in blood poisoning;
or on the playground away from the
CRIME of the streets, getting exercise
and sunshine at the same time?

FIND REMAINS
Of DEAD MAN
Body Found in Deserted
Building in South Middle
sex Badly D~ecomposed.

By Special Correspondent
JAMESBURG, July 1s:-Investi-
CATION by ~passersby in the section
Of Mounts Mills. near the dividing
line of Middlesex and Monmouth
counties, on Saturday, disclosed the
body of a man in a very advanced
state of decomposition. II was
with the greatest difficulty that It
was learned that the shapeless mass
had ever been a human, and the
official investigation by Undertaken
]. Laird Hulse, of Englishtown. and
DR.. John /. Suydam, county physi-
clan of Middlesex. who we're sum-
moned TO the spot, showed that the
man had been dead. from all evil
dences. for at least six months.
DR.. Suydam was unable to discov-
er any evidence of violence. The
mass was found huddled in a cor
ner of the deserted building which
has been ~unoccupied for many
years and DR.. Suydam gave his
opinion that the man was evidently
a wayfarer who had taken refuge
in the building during n of the
cold spells last winter and had died
from exposure. A search Of the
clothing failed to furnish any clue
to the identity of the man and II
was not even possible to distinguish
his ace or color.
Failing to solve the cause of the
death DR.. Suydam gave a permit
for the removal of the body and
Undertaken Hulse inferred the same
in the Tenant burial ground on
Sunday.
Great excitement prevailed for
some time as the community was
reminded of the murder that was
discovered in a like manner almost
thirty years ago when the body OF
a man named Cronin was found
murdered near this spot. Raymond
Day and Reuben Stricklin served
long terms in the state prison fol
this crime. A coincidence was the
fact that the body was found about
the same time of the year wher
Earties were engaged in huckleber.
