WHAT is THE YOUTH or WAU.
WATOSA WORTH TO YOU?

- O'oA ~ ~ lOO!
No modern activity means more to
the youth of America-and this
means Wauwatosa-than systematic
ally engaging in every form of athlet-
les. The opportunity for the youth of
the country securing the proper exer-
else is growing constantly smaller as
the density of population increases.
Therefore it is becoming increasingly
necessary to devise ways and means
whereby our young folks will be as
sured the proper exercise, under
proper regulations.
Perhaps one of the most important
details in this connection is the mat
ter of equipment. Many residents of
Wauwatosa are fully aware that we
have splendid athletic field which
has proven popular place for all
branches of athletics, yet there are
many of our citizens who are not ac-
quainted with this feature of our ac-
Invites. To those who have been us
ing the field, and to others who are
not acquainted with the situation, we
would like to call attention to the
matter of equipment.
Heretofore anybody who felt in
clined to manage a team simply went
to our merchants and solicited funds
to buy equipment. At the end of the
season this equipment disappeared. In
consequence, this condition repeated
itself the next season. There are at
the present time two sets of baseball
uniforms paid for by the people of
Wauwatosa that do not belong to any
body, yet belong to everybody.
AS your director of athletics, have
evolved plan whereby all citizens are
asked to refuse any assistance to any
body seeking aid to secure athletic
equipment. Under my plan all uni
formed teams now using the play
ground have agreed to turn over this
equipment as playground property,
in return for which the proposed play
ground fund, which this campaign
seeks to create, will furnish the nec-
essary material to start the next sea-
son. By the new plan, players are
loaned equipment for the season.
When the season closes, each PLAYER
must turn in the equipment. So It
will be seen this material will serve
for at least two seasons and possibly
longer.
In furthering the above plan have
opened an account at the First Ma
tional Bank to be known as "The
Wauwatosa Playground Fund" To
carry out the plan and put it in good
working order, | ask your financial as
sistance. Money that you send in
will be used to purchase whatever
equipment is required and will remain
the property of the playground. You
will not be pestered from time to time
| by various individuals to donate
money for various athletic equipment,
because by this plan any individual
canvass will be discouraged.
A contribution of any amount will
help to Develop better men and
women. Send it either to me direct or
to the Wauwatosa Playground Fund,
care of First National Bank, and
same will be properly credited.
| am giving all my time and lib
eral sum to put this plan over. HOW
MUCH WILL YOU SEND IN TO
KEEP THE GOOD WORK GOING?
We neei athletics. We require your
liberal support to promote them. Send
your contributions with the thought
in mind: for better youth-for
united athletic support-for the good
of Wauwatosa.
Yours for a better youth,
A. F. MUELLNER,
Director, Wauwatosa Playground.
