SIEGE ON RUM ROW EFFECTIVE
RECREATI0NAL !
NEEDS OF CITY
ARE DISCUSSED
Expert Confers With City
And School Heads on
Matter Il

Need of a community center with
adequate playground facilities was
+ discussed yesterday afternoon at q
meeting in the Barbara Worth ho-
tel, by a committee of citizens rep
rasenting various civic organiza-
tions and Roy W. Winton, repre-
senting the Playground and Recrea-
ton Association Of America.
Meeting with Winton were May
or George w. Anderson, represents
ing the city of FL Centre; Frank
Bowles, FL Centre Rotary Club; A.
P. Shibley, FL Centre Kiwanis
Club; S. l.. McCrory, Boy Scouts
of America; Mrs. b. L. Roberts,
Woman s Ten Thousand Club; Miss
Nora Epler, city schools; Profess
sor Elmer Todd, the Eisteddfod and
Nv. c. Costello, Imperial Valley
Press.
The need of playground was
stressed by several speakers, who
asserted that lack of sufficient re-
creational facilities is responsible
for much of the Juvenile Delinquent
cy which exists in the county, and
that this matter should be given the
support of every organization in
terested in the upbuilding of this
community.
Mr.. Winton stated that it is not
necessary that elaborate equipment
be installed in a playground, and
! that the chief need is placing the
! playground in charge of competent
and specially trained experts, who
can operate it efficiently and make
it a real attraction for the young
er generation.
Approves Spot
He stated That he had inspected
/ the plot opposite the new court
house, which has been suggested
for civic center and recreation
grounds, and believed it to be ideal
for this purpose. The suggestion
thai Wilson school be turned over
to the city for recreation center,
and new school building built else
where, was approved by Mr.. Win
ton, who stated that this is prob
ably the most logical solution of
the problem at this time. The park
adjoining the school could be comE
bined with the school grounds for
outdoor recreation and as q rest.
ing place for mothers and children.
Construction of a civic building
for FL Centre on corner of the
lot opposite the courthouse, would
not, Winton stated, interfere with
carrying out the recrea.ional center
idea.
Mr.. Winton outlined what has
been done in other cities in connec-
ton with this matter, and gave
some valuable information along
these lines to the members of the
committee. The latter will meet
again in the near future to discuss
the subject further. 1t was the
concensus of opinion that the mat
ter is one of the utmost Importance
to the city, and that it should not
be allowed to result only in idle dis
cussion, but that active work to-
ward the attainment of the object
should be started at an early date.
