Damage Orphanage.

Damage to the extent of about
$4,000 was inflicted on the Christian
Home Orphange at Council Bluffs,
Iowa, by floods from excessive rains
and cloudbursts on the nights of Sept.
2S and 90 Every building at the
great institution was damaged, the
heating, lighting and power plants
rendered useless for several days, and
the store rooms in the basement of
the buildings were flooded and thous-
ands of dollars worth of supplies were
ruined This is the worst catastrophe
that has ever befallen this work, and
comes as a serious blow when the in
sttution was already struggling to
free itself of debt. This institution is
non-sectarian, receives orphan and
destitute children from all parts of the
country and is supported entirely by
the voluntary contributions of chari-
table people. 1t is appealing to the
public for Thanksgiving offering to
help overcome the losses by the re-
cent floods and to meet running ex-
penses in the daily care of two hun
dred and fifty inmates. We have had
calls from those in distress in foreign
climes and have responded to them.
Here is good work right here at
home that has met serious trouble
and is now asking for help. Let all
send something at Thanksgiving and
help to put the home of those little
children back on its feet Address

DIRT N DUST
What Is Going On At Perth Amboy's
Recreation Centers

Practical experience and the test
of time have shown that there has
never been an equally useful idea
for the constructive development of
children as that of Fairgrounds.
Fairgrounds have done more than
any other single factor to whole
somely develop the youngsters of
the nation. Originally the back
yard was the playground of the aver
age child. Now, since city life has
become SO complex, we see that all
the children cannot play with the
facilities which they must invent
themselves. Without play children
become restless and often criminal.
Municipal statistics show that where
adequate recreation is made easy
the problem of incorrigibility is neg
lible; they never become criminal
wards of the state. Aside from SEN
timental reasons, therefore, it Is
simply a good economic Investment
to install good Fairgrounds and
maintain them.
The Fairgrounds which the city
maintains at the present time are
fully equipped and the apparatus is

herent tendency towards play is an
active part of our human endow-
ment-why not let your child give
it expression on his or her play
ground?

best to look after the welfare of
the kids while they are on the

them in every way they can, to pro-

youngsters the playground axiom:
