POLICE TO PROTECT
 PUBLIC PARK SHRUBS
Commission Determined to Prevent Vandalism By Seekers of Christ
 mas Greens--G Guards on Duty.

Special policemen have been sta- toned in all the local parks by the park commission, according to Park SuperintendentsRalph Wainwright this morning, to protect the plants and trees there from gatherers of Christi mas greens. Mutilating of city prop erty by cutting or breaking foliage from any of the local parks will be prosecuted, MT. Wainwright adds.
 In former years it has been the custom for marauding bands of boys to go into city parks, especially on the outskirts of the city, or after dark at night, and cut trees. break off branches, etc., in order to get greens for Christmas decorations. '1rhe amount of damage done in Walnut Hill park alone would surprise the public" said MT. Wainwright.
 This year the commission has en- gagged special policemen and has placed them on duty at each park, with instructions to protect the trees, etc.
 A state law, recently passed. pro- vides that persons seen on highways with Christmas greens of any descrip- ton can be stopped and written per- init demanded for entering the prop erty from which the greens were pro- cured, according to Mir. Wainwright. Failure to produce a permit, may re- suit in prosecution in the local courts.
