SUPERVISED PLAY
IN CHAMPAIGN
STILL PROBABLE

Heads of the committee on super.
yised play appeared before the city
council Monday afternoon and pressed
the cause of improved Fairgrounds
and recreational facilities for Cham
paign.
George HUFF, president Of the eonl-
mittee; Rev. Stephen +. Fisher, vice
chairman, and Charles NJ. Stahl, sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce
were among those who visited the
council.
Efforts to install q program of su-
pervised play in several other Illinois
cities have been defeated; but the
committee hopes that arrangements
can be made with the city council
to set an election date when the voters
of Champaign will have an oppore
tunity either to endorse or turn down
the plan. ss.--ss
There is a strong sentiment In
church circles as we'll as in labor
circles favoring the plan, and IL Is be-
lieved that if once the proposal takes
form in a ballot the vote will be
favorable.
The cost of starting a movement
of this kind Is slight in proportion
to the good achieved. the committee
believes, and it is generally consid-
cred a matter Of good policy at least
for the city council to appoint an
election date when the voters may
register their sentiments.

have steadily advanced. Nominally
the postal rates are the same as they
were quarter of century ago.
Actually they are more because every
item entering into the performance
Of the postal service costs more than
when the present rates were estab-

in the yearly postal deficit which is

How the postal rates and the gen

Illustration. When these rates were
