EXPERIMENTAL PURPOSES
II Plan Proves Successful First
Years Lease viii Be Continued -
Provide Grounds For Golf, Tennis,
Baseball and Other Sports-Amsr.
lean Legion Post May Be Interested

The Yetley tract east of the city
formerly leased to the Marshalltown
Country Club but abandoned when
the Elmwood Club was formed. will
be leased for one year by the city for
public playground. The lease has
been made largely for experimental
purposes and the city will maintain
the grounds for those desiring to play
golf. baseball. tennis and other games.
The grounds will be opened to the
public but rules will be made cover
ing all sports which will give all an
equal opportunity to enjoy the ad-
vantages.
The city council in regular session
today directed Councilman John /.
Bell TO enter into contract for the
lease for one year. The city agrees
to maintain the ground and the pub
lie club, which is within the city
limits, will be under police regula-
lions.
Provides Diversified Amusement.
The grounds will provide diversi-
fled sports, the golf links requiring
considerable work to put them in con-
dition for play, and the tennis courts
will need cleaning. A baseball dia-
mond will be laid out on the east side
of the tract.
The ground work Is available, II Is
said, for tho very best of clay courts,
about 5000 worth OF clay now being
on the grounds.
Eventually provision will be made
for pionicers and playground for
children probably will be provided. II
the experiment proves successful this
year 1t probably will be continued.
Committee Gains Objective.
Golfers Of the city, who have not
Joined the new club, were represent
ed in the discussions with the coun-
Gil by James McNally. and are re-
sponsible for the action. The ad-
vantages of maintaining The old
country club grounds were pointed
out and the members of the council
agreed to make the experiment, as the
expense of maintenance Is said to be
small. II cost the country club about
$4,000 a year to keep the grounds and
course in condition.
Members of the American Legion
have been interested In the movement
and are expected TO participate in the
use of the grounds and unite with the
committee in making the place at
tractive.
1t is the plan to have committees
appointed for different kinds Of sports
and to make strict regulations gov
erning the use of links, courts, ETC.,
20 that all may have an equal chance
to enjoy the privileges.

The brides only attendant was Miss
Edna Lewis, who looked lovely in
dainty froek of flesh organdie carry

fern. The bride entered with her
father. She was gowned in white net
over satin and carried an exquisite
boouet of radiance roses-needless to
say she was a picture Of loneliness.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL H
Program for Public Health
Community Welfare Is No
Well Under Way. E

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit In q very
large part By the public health and
community welfare work Of the AmeFi-
can Red Cross. Almost all Of the
$500 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly. the purpose Of Rural Serv-
ice Is to assist people to get out OF life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation is found to be one of the
biggest needs in rural life. There Ia
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs.
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
aage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action,
As q result Of community Organiza-
ton, townships In which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as a result
OF community meetings, as well as cir
cuiating libraries, Red Cross schools Of
instruction In Home Nursing, Care OF
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations ls being met Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreatlonal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs OF
the various welfare agencies in the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv.
Ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object of the
service Is to lend q hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.

Garden seeds for Polish orphans,
milk for anaemic Greek babies, car
penters' tools for Czecho-Slovakia
cripples-these are only a few Of the
gifts that young Americans are send
ing to the war-crushed children Of the
Old World.
Through the Junior Red Cross the
boys and girls Of the United States
are giving fresh start In life to little
war orphans scattered all over Europe
They have set up orphans homes in
France, school colonies in Belgium and
Montenegro, and day schools In Al
bania.
They are sending dozens Of young
Syrians, Montenegrins, and Albanians
to American colleges in ConstantinOple
and Beirut, and maintaining more than
q hundred orphans Of French soldiers
at colleges and trade schools In or
phanages and farm schools up and
down the peninsula Of Italy there are
nearly 500 wards of American Juniors.
Last winter q thousand French chill
dren from the inadequate shelters Of
the devasted regions were sent by the
Junior Red Gross to spend the cold
months in warmer parts Of France.
At the same time 1--WE thousand little
Belgians were having a hot lunch every
day at Junior Red Cross school can
teens.
American school children have al
ready raised something like a million
dollars for these enterprises, and they
are still hard at work.
In China, through campaigns Of ed
ucation, the Junior Red Cross Il help
