T0PLAN MEETING
| FOR Fairgrounds
Conference Will Decide Way
to Get All Civic Bodies
Interested.

Plans for the proposed mass meet
ing in the interest of the public play
grounds Of the city, as initiated by
the Columbia Heights Citizens AS
sociat.on, will be made at a meet
ing to be held at o'clock Tuesday
night at the Public Library.
Mrs. Lucy r. Swanton, chairman OF
the special committee, today sent out
Invitations to all other citizens asso-
Citations and other bodies IN tne LIS
trict that might be interested In the
matter.
The board of representatives OF the
Federal Employees Union, NO. ., at a
meeting held last night, accepted tne
invitation to attend the preliminary
meeting, and will be represented at
the gathering.
In her appeal, Mrs. Swanton pointed
out that Columbia Heights has iost
it's only playground. and that cnii.
dren are without a place 10 go Due
the streets, and that similar condl-
tions exist throughout the city. Inc
chairman continued:
Forty three per cent of the auto
mobile fatalities are of children under
fifteen years of age. Fairgrounds
would prevent many.
Juvenile delinquency could be
lesscned by healthy amusement. Phy-
sical training. proven so necessary
for the Army, is needed by growing
children.
The serious moral condition of our
youth is largely due to abnormal con-
ditions affecting children's lives Save
the child and the man will take care
of himself. Healthy supervision and
guidance of play must be supplied or
evil will take it's place. Recreation
is part of education and necessary to
good citizenship.
Roosevelt when President was
much interested in the Fairgrounds
of the District of Columbia Condi-
tions are worse now. and we are sure
President Harding will aid this
worthy cause. Members OF the Dis
trict committee in Congress have been
city commissioners and understand
the need of Fairgrounds. Saving the
children would be real economy"
