DELAWARE AVENUE
Vacant Plot at intersection of
Washington Street Put to
Practical Use.

Much interest is being taken in the
playground opened Monday by Com

purchased some time ago by the Elks,
at the intersection of Delaware ave-
nue. and Eleventh street. The lot has
been vacant for some time and the
children played there anyway. often
chasing their ball into the street. After
consulting the principal Of the school
nearby, Superintendent of Schools
Ward. President Souder and other au-
thorities, Community Service fenced
the land and put in equipment.
The apparatus was in use in the
model playground at the Delaware

boys and three for girls. a giant stride
and three see saws are always popular
The baby slide is always in use.
The playground is an especial bene-
fit TO the children attending No.
School. The playground is open from
$50 a. m. until 7.30 p. m. and always
has some occupants. During recess
a. noon, and after school the children
flock there in great numbers. The
principal is delighted with the play
ground as ID provides a place for saf'
and wholesome recreation while the
children have their rest periods. Tit
playground also proves a boon TO thu
younger pupils who are on half time.
Miss Edith NJ. Adams is in charg,
of the playground and she will prob
ably be given an assistant during tn
rush hours.
The playground is especially wei

TELEPHONE SYSTEM
FOR POLICE AND FIRE
Safety Bureau Served Through
Ono Number, 400, With
20 for Emergency.

The Diamond State Telephone Co..
has finished the installation OF a new
telephone system for the Department
OF Public Safety.
The new system will be n great con-
venience to those having occasion TO
call either the Police or Fire Depart
ment. At the same time the two de-
partments are brought into closer re-
lations by means OF the telephone sys-
tenn, which ought to make for greater
efficiency,
Heretofore both the Bureau OF Po-
lice and the Bureau OF Fire have each
had their own telephone system. In
addition each one OF the engine houses
had a telephone connected direct with
the city exchange. while some Of the
houses also had telephones connected
with the department branch exchange
located In the Public Building. Both
the public and the Department of
Safety were handicapped by the old
telephone arrangement, as 1t was
necessary to either remember a great
many telephone numbers or refer 10
the telephone directory each time
they wanted to call a police or fire
telephone.
The new arrangement Ia simple
BY calling telephone number l,4o0 you
will be connected with the Depart.
ment Of Public Safety branch switch
board.
| To this switchboard are connected al
OF the telephones In the Bureau OF
Police and the engine houses and
office Of the Bureau OF Fire. This ar.
rangement is similar TO the Electrical
Bureau In Philadelphia and puts on,
Department of Public Safety upon 8
metropolitan basis.
Number 20 Is not used on any Of
the telephone company's exchanges a,
a telephone number except 70,
emergency calls. such as police, fr,
and ambulance calls. and then only
when there Is a centralized poin
given prompt attention.
The combining OF the Police an,
Fire Department telephone system
makes IT possible TO now use thi
number and II has been assigned Z
one OF the trunk lines to the Depart
ment OF Public Safety switchboard.
| Number 20 should not be used ex
cept in an emergency, when caliin
for police. reporting a FIRE or calling
for an ambulance in case OF accident
In all cases persons making such call
must be sure TO give their names an
street addresses II they expect to re
ceive attention.
On the front cover Of the telephon
directory are these words MY fire ca
is" MY police call is" 1
each case there is a space reserve
for a telephone number. Get you
book and mark number 20 in both c
these spaces. and then remembe
that st is not to be used unless Their
Is real emergency. II you wis
TO call either of the departments on
matter OF business or for informatio,
! call 14o0.
Calls for number 90 will be rushe
by the girls at the telephone ono
while at the Department OF Publ
Safety the call Is indicated by a re
signal and is handled as emergenc,
Other calls on this board are indicate
by white signals.
