pressed by Col. c. Seymour Bullock,

Recreation Is the rebuilding process

scheme. The South Bend or to-

Additional Fairgrounds Park Space Needed For Growing South Ben

brought an insistent demand. as
well as written petitions for another
and a larger municipal golf links
elsewhere. 70 would be a wise sug-
gestion 10 acquire such tract north
OF the city, so located that 10 could
be easily reached by street car An
other suggestion has been made TO
acquire property somewhere east Of
South Bend. One or the other OF
these propositions should be taken
up at once The sooner they are
taken up. the cheaper the land can
be bought. With the fast increas-
ing numbers OF people who want an
opportunity 20 play on a good links,
and who perhaps can not afford or
who do not care TO hold a member
ship In the Country club. this pre-
sents the only other alternative. Let
Us be wise IN time. There was a
period not so long ago when many
people especially those in the farm
ing communities. fairly hated an au-
tomobile as Il passed their door. but
now they have come TO such COM
mon use that these same people are
driving them and you don't hear that
scrt OF thing any more. The same
is true OF the game OF golf. Too
many people have the idea. even yet.
that this is merely a game for the
wealthy,or people OF leisure, but this
notion is fast wearing away. as did
the opposition 10 automobiles. The
result. therefore. is an increasingly
ins.stent demand for an 1s-hoIe
links that should be established in
the near future.
Time TO Buy Now"
These properties should all be
bought now. The sooner the better,
and the sooner the cheaper. Why
wait until we must pay five and 10
times the price? As the expansion
OF South Bend materializes, these
things will become an absolute need,
for our parks have grown tremen-
dously in patronage the past two
years. and will grow at much
greater ratio in the future. The ex-
pansion in other lines will neces-
sarily bring expansion IN the park
system.
II no other way can be found, that

these things can be done. This
means was provided by law. passed
by the 1917 legislature for compass
ing just such an exigency, and the
park board is thinking seriously of
appealing TO the thinking people Of
the city to help 20 take advantage
OF this law. This law calls for a
plan that is called a city election.
whereby on the appeal Of a certain
number of citizens the board may
call such an election by the people.
Voting booths are prepared as in
regular city election. and If the
citizens by a majority vote. approve.
then the park board is given autho-
rity 70 sell bonds for the acquire
ment Of such properties. separate
and apart from the other bonds OF
the city. It Is probable the board
viii call such an election sometime
in the near future If It is appealed
to by the requisite number Of citi-
zens to do so. There is no doubt
but what this is by far the best way
out.

PIONEER DAY CELEBRA. TON AT SNOW- FLAKE GREAT
 SUCCESS

Snowflake did itself proud on last Monday when they entertained the rest of the county with their annual Pioneer Day Celebration. Holbrook moved up to Snowflake for the day, that is most of it's inhabitants did and enjoyed themselves in great style.
 The sports were excellent and everyone enjoyed the novelty of the chuck wagon race and the chariot race. There were also horse races and bicycle races and walking races, and last but not least there was what we might be pardoned in calling a baseball race. At least the last inning took on somewhat of the nature of race when Showlow pill ed up nine runs and won the game. Part of this no doubt must be blamed on the fact that the ball play CTS played in the midst of distractions as there were sports and races going on around them continually.
 An aeroplane which ap- peared as one might say 'out of the blue sky, offered zest to the occasion. It was a very pleasant day and the large crowd assem- bled had a jolly time. A fine dance concluded the amusements of the day. Political candidates were here, there, and everywhere. This is the season of the year when they flourish, and make the rest of us poor mortals feel as if we amounted to something. Of course this is mere fiat tery on their part, but just the same, we are only hu- man, and we like it.

The Millers are accompanied by their little daughter and mother and father, and are enroute to Tempe to visit relatives. They will take the road south by way of Payson and Pine from Wins low.
