grounds clean and in shape The
general care of the grounds is to
be in the hands of the Scouts and
they doubtless will be proud of the
opportunity to have a permanent
place for their gatherings and out
ings. 1t is planned that they pro-
vide a swimming pool upon the site.
grounds that affords an ideal source
for that enterprise and doubtless
would prove most interesting at
traction not only to the Scouts
themselves but all others who may
hold memberships in the general
plan.
A leading official OF the club
stated to a representative of the
Press this morning that it was the
sense of ~the stockholders and the
board of directors that the grounds
be placed in excellent shape and
placed under strict management
and that the location be developed
into an object of civic pride. TINS
representative said the stockholders
and directors of the grounds appeal
ed to all citizens of the community
who are possessed of civic pride to
lend their assistance to the under
taking and make it one of notable
success and benefit to the COM
munity generally. In this connec-
ton, it is hoped by those interested
in the revised organization that
the ladies of the city, particularly
the civic club, would avail them
selves of the opportunity to plant
flowers, shrubbery and otherwise
contribute artistic touches and beau
ty to the grounds. 1t is expected
that many tourists will camp at the
grounds and if the surroundings are
made beautiful and inviting the
enterprise would contribute good
advertising to Paragould and Greene
county.
Just when annual membership
certificates will be issued to indi-
viduals will be made known at a
later date, but it will be done in
the near future, it is said. Those
who anticipate Identifying them
selves with the movement should
know that membership carries
with it only the privilege of par
ticipating in the pleasures of the
ground, and not in the ownership
of the property. The possession of
the grounds is and will continue in
the possession of the original stock
holders or those who may conform
to the rules and regulations that were
adopted at the two recent sessions,
board of directors. At those meet
ings it was decided to collect up
all delinquent payments of stock
holders of the $4,000 shares and
failure to promptly pay such de-
linquencies would result in the can
collation. of the stock thus held
The limit of five days was placed
upon the payment. The only spe-
cial advantage to be enjoyed by the
stockholders will be the issuance to
them of annual passes to the grounds
without charge, the passes to be iden-
tical with those issued to public
members.
1t was brought out at the session
of the stockholders that the corpo-
ration owning the grounds is in
debted to the amount of $4,000
and to take care of this deficit
each 10000 stakeholder was as
sessed $500 each, the amount to
be paid in monthly installments of
$500 each until the total indebted
ness is wiped out. In cases where
delinquent stockholders decline to
pay or the monthly assessments to
pay out the Indebtedness are not
met, those shares held by stock
holders will be cancelled and re-
verified to the club. Thus it will
be seen the stockholders are Shout
dering the burden of the enterprise.
individuals who shall be granted
annual memberships at $500 each
will be given the same ground
as those who are carrying
the Indebtedness and the invest
ment, The action of the stockhold-
ers is one of distinct enterprise and
their proposal is one worthy of
hearty support.
This is ParagOuld's first oppor-
tunity to provide the community
with park plan of the better order
and it doubtless will be enthusiastic
ally approved. The stockholders
are to be congratulated upon their
display of enterprise and it is very
to note that in making
he proposal they have provided that
he grounds shall be properly CON
lucted, desirable place for every
)ne to visit and that the privilege |
