PLAYGROUND PLANNED
\ FOR MARIETTA SOON

Authoritive announcement was
made recently that Marietta is to
have q first class playground with
f'syFtrfa1Ifg boUis, swings, chutes, t-.
mis- courts and many other attrac-
tons, made possible thru the courtesy
of Ex-GovernoE Joseph M. Brown.
and in connection with the planned
Improvement to Browns park on
Whitloek avenue.
me announcement comes as more
than welcome news on the part of
Marietta's youngeh set, and brings
much qualification to the parents as
well. The need for such a place of
amusement for the children of Mari
eta has long been felt and coming
as it does at the present time the
plan fills the proper niche.
An effort will be made to interest
the business men of the city, all or
CARNATIONS, civic and otherwise, the
factories and manufacturing plants
in and near the city and other in
dividuals and bodies.
AHS pan was pLSocilLSu W d HuIIl-
Der of the children and few of the
parents at the regular meeting of
the county Junior Health Organiza-
ton held at the court house on Sat
urday and very favorably received
both by the parents and the youngs-
tiers.
The location selected is an ideal
spot for the playground. The pond,
which it is planned to convert into
an up-to-date swimming pool is the
one which was formerly knows as
WinnB pondi The banks sloping
down to the pond on two sides pro
vide admirable settings for flower
beds and landscape gardening.
1t is the purpose of the city to
clear off all the rubbish, trim out the
dead trees and limbs, deepen the old
drainage bitches, repair the dam to
the pond and otherwise improve the
premises. According to present plans
the park has every promise of be-
coming one of the most attractive
spots in the city.

IN LAKE NEAR HERE
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Tragedy Occurred About 5 80 o.
clock Suday and Though Sever

Body is Not Recovered until

Funeral services for Eugene York
Jr., the fourteen year old boy who
was drowned in the old waterworks
lake about two miles South of Ma.
rietta Sunday afternoon, were held
at the Holly Springs church Tues.
day morning. 1nterment followed
in the church cemetery.
Young York was the son of Mr.
and Mrs. P. E. York, of Atlanta
formerly residents of Cobb county
and has number of relatives and
friends in Marietta. He was a mem
Der Of a troup of Atlanta Boy Scouts
VINO were encamped near the lake
and at the time Of the tragedy was
rowing about the lake In a canoe in
company with two other COM
panions when the boat capsized.
York was not very good Swinlm er
and failed to reach land. Both boys
went to his assistance and one of them
succeeded in getting him almost out
of danger when thru violent strug-
Cling York wrenched himself from
his grasp. He failed to come to the
surface again and all efforts at res
cue in time to save his life were to
no avail.
One of the drowned boys compan-
ions, scout Clayton King, who was
considered an excellent swimmer ex-
hausted himself in an effort to res
cue the boy to such an extent that
it became necessary for othess ar
irving on the scene to help him from
the water and prevent a second trag-
edy.
By nightfall, hundreds of people
had gathered on the shores Of the
lake and every p4ea4s possible was
used to rescue the body. At eight
thirty o'clock Sunday evening the
body was finally located by one OF
the divers and brought to the surface.
In the meantime the valve on the
loodgate of the dam had been open
ed in order to drain the lake.
The father if Eugene York, r E.
York, is brother to Frank and Gap
York of this city. The young mans
mother is a sister to Mr.. Randolph
Chandler and he was related to the

A special car bore large number
of York's companions to Marietta
Tuesday to act as pail bearers and
an escort for the body of their dead
companion.
Scout York was fine specimen OF
young manhood, a splendid looking
chap and popular with his boy com
panions. His sudden and tragic
death was keenly felt and many OF
the little fellows were in tears over
the aOss of their companion.

Marietta Schools Have Record Enrolment
TO COORDINATE WORK
QEfnE LIBRARY WITH
THAT OF THE SCHOOLS

A valuable service a library can
render community is cooperation
with the schools, and assisting in ever
way possible both teachers .ond pupils
The aim of the. Clarke Library is to
place all the Library resources at the
disposal of the schools, and to respond
to all requests for assistance to the
best of its ability. When bioks ar
asked for on special subjects that are
not on the shelves the librarian Dor
rows them from the State Library
Commission, which is always ready to
supply desired books from it's collect
ion.
Some of the teachers have express
ed their appreciation of the library
service during the past year, and we
are giving them, so that the public
may know something of what a good
library means to the schools.
Miss Georgia Hunt, principal of the
high school says:
Everyone recognizes the fact that
to a well rounded education, access
to a good library is essential. Con-
sequently the teachers in the public
schools have for many years faced
troublesome problem. In the past
the pupils had limited advantages in
this line. The schools have had few
books, and it was hard to find space
even for them. They were given out
at spare moments during the day or
by the already overworked teachers.
The town library was a pay instit-
ution, had no catalog, and the books
were given out by unframed help. A
teacher could not send an immature
pupil there even for information as
to current events, for there was not
Readers Guide, and no way but
to take out book or a magazine and
go thru it for information, which in
an up-to-date library could have been
obtained in a few minutes. The past
year has wrought a change, making
the library free institution, catalog-
ing the books, putting trained IL
-brarian in charge, have been Of the
greatest assistance. The librarian has
been untiring in her efforts both to-
help the children in their work, and
to make the place attractive. AS to
help in their aasss aants, the writer
can speak personally, Tor s''e study
of argument, over one half the ciL4sss1
rem in particular grade, obtained
facts from the Library. Again, in a
short story contest, the librarian gave
them many interesting examples from
famous authors, even taking suffici-
ent interest to have the children meet
with her at the library in the eve
nings. In the future, plans for great
er usefulness have been made. Lists
of books have been prepared so thaht
the child will have his reading guided
for all the year.
1t is to be hoped that so worthy
an institution will be upheld, and that
all the citizens will do their share
in this, and so help the boys and girls
of our town."
Miss Louise Taylor, second grade A
says: The Clarke Library was useful
to me and to the children in my
schoolroom during the past year. l
had books from the library in my
room for use with the children, and
know that the library has been of
value to the schools and the town In
an educational way, and is needed
Will every one who reads these tes-
timonials as to the library work, say
"Let it go on?"
