Glue a Boost For
Public Playground

During Children's Week a part
Of the program will have to do
with Fairgrounds for children.
Warrington is not so crowd
ed as some cities, yet many OF
the little fellows feel the need
OF an opportunity for clean.
wholesome play Of the right
sort without being thrown into
danger physically and other
wise. II the proposed Children's
Week does no more than make
possible a public playground
for the little ones Of Manning
ton 1t will have done much for
the city.
Children must play. They
will play; but how much better
when directed by an adult
mind, and given the equipment
to make that play 30 much
more pleasant and beneficial,
Aside from this consldera-
ton. there is the knowledge
that the child Is sate-somc-
thing that cannot be known,
when the youngsters wander
the streets In search Of amusc-
ment. The danger of allowing
little ones to play In the street
was wildly brought to public
attention here not long ago.
II chickens need a chance 10
get out and stretch their legs
once in a while. children GER
tainly should have the same
amount Of consideration. Boost

the big end of a 4 to / score al

Warrington chalked UP six errors
that proved costly. The visitors
took advantage of each one, Pickus
and Talbot starred for Monongall.
The local boys got five hits off
Pickus, but most OF the time they
couldn't send the ball into safe
territory. The little pitcher struck
out thirteen men with corner cut
tin gteasers that the local boys
couldn't find. Talbot made n
three-bagger, 3ut made Il with no
one on bases.
