CONTROL AND
 GROUND FACILITIES

-a.s l-l 4a E and not on the streets in danger of be- ing struck by fast moving vehicles
 It seemed to be the general opinion Of the meeting that as 1t was too late this year to carry the playground program to all sections of the city, the Lake street grounds should be put into shape anu boundaries established in order that the Fairgrounds association, made up of citizens interested in giving the youth of the city opportunity to play, could carry out their plans as best they could this summer.
 The city is asked to appoint 8 com- mission whose duty it shall be to look over prospective sites for playgrounds in all sections of Norwich and at some later city meeting a sum of money will be asked of the voters to equip playgTounds and provide for supervisors 10 look after the children while at the Aplaygrounds. Everyone expressed an opinion that opposition to the city handling the play ground would be little and that public opinion throughout the city would send the movement through and give Norwich children playgrounds where they can en- 1 joy themselves and play games without danger.
 It is known that in some sections of the city children playing in lots have been l chased off by the owners and n many cases the frightened children have left i pieces of their clothing behind, never finding them again. If people who have 1 lots that children can play on, are not 1 willing to allow the children to enjoy themselves on the lots, the city, should provide suitable places for the children. At the close of the hearing Mayor Water stated that it was too late for the city to take action on the matter but l it would be advisable for the Fairgrounds Association to go ahead with their plans i for Lake street this summer. and if the commission is appointed, it can search
 out suitable locations in all section of the
 city and then if the city meeting votes
 the appropriation by 1923 the. children
 will be provided with playgrcunds l throughout the city.
 Mayor Waters and members of the fn- ance committee were thanked for their interest in the matter and all present
 went on record as favoring the city's talk ing charge of the playgrounds, thus giv- ing the pIaygrounds committee power to do things not possible when the play grounds were run by private individuals.

THE NEWS MISTAKEN.

This paper thanks DR.. Francis for
calling attention to an error in re-
port of the Sledd verdict, as pub
lished in last issue of this paper.
We gladly make correction. DR..
Francis, writing from Adria says:
Mr.. Editor:
/ notice that you say in the last
issue of the Clinch Valley News,
".One year and five hundred dollars
for Marion Sledd," which is incor-
rect: These are the facts: Marion
Sedd was tried here in the Circuit
Court, charged with the killing of
Peel Harman. The jury after some
deliberation, returned a compromise
verdict of "guilty of assault" and
fixed his punishment at months in
Jail and a fine of 5000.
I trust that you will make this
correction in your next issue.
Yours truly,
Il. l.. FRANCIS.

ACCIDENTS hr THE PEGEANT
IN RICHMOND.

The great Historical Pageant at
Richmond he'd hard luck to start
with. The parade was only fairly un-
der way, when Governor Trinkle's
charger becoming frightened took the
bit in his teeth as it were, started n
lively 2:10 gait, ran into one of the
bands, scattering the musicians right
and left knocked out several, and in
juring one or two severely.
Next followed big storm of
wind and rain, which scattered the
crowd helter skelter, tearing down
decorations, wires ct cetera. Return
ing in an automobile Governor Trim
kle again got mixed up. This time
his auto ran into webbing of wires
blown down across the street, and
the Governor, his wife and party had
to leave the car. Fortunately, in all
these debacles no one was seriously
hurt. The Pageant finally got under
way, and was n great success.
A real tragedy occurred however
as the parade was starting out. Capt
Jas. Pollard fell dead in the street
supposedly from heart trouble.

Mystery shrouds the death Of Roy
HOnaker, the II year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. John G. Ilonakcr, of near
Honaker
The young man disappeared Thurs
day, May 11th, from Putnam, where
he had been at work, and no trace
was found of him until Tuesday of
last week when his lifelcss body was
found in the creek at the Putnam
bridge by IA boy who was fishing
Foul play was suspected and an
inquest was held, but no marks of
violence were found.
AS rumors Of foul play were cur
rent on Wednesday, postmorten
examination was made, which re-
vealcd the fact that the lungs float
cd on water, indicating that the boy
was dead when he either fell, or was
placed into the water. Besides this
the examination showed little elst
to indicate murder.
He was hard working boy, ant
seemed to be peaceable. He was mo-
in the habit of going away from
home without his parents knowl
edge and when he did not come home
naturally they were uneasy abou
him and instituted search. Tn,
family have the sympathy in thei
deep sorrow.
