Decorating
BY Hal Cochran

Roll up your sleeves. man. and
tuck in your tie. There's work In
the yard to be done. Don't let It
fret you. but step out and try. The
work you must do can be fun.
Bushes need trimmin' and shrubs
must be cut. TITS well that the
work is begun. Winter has let
things all get In a rut. but, now,
sap's beginnin' to run
New grass is sproutin' In real sum-
mer green. Your lawn needs atten-
ton, no doubt. Nature is budding
with interest that's keen. Come on,
man, It's time you were out.
Sit in the sunlight and work while
you sing. Give all your muscles a
treat. Drink In the air that Is
brought on by spring, and make the
old back yard look neat.
Take off the good clothes and put
on the old. Out in the yard try
your skill. You can soon make it
say, need you be told?-a beautiful
place, If you will.

FAIRGROUNDS
0 CHILDREN

1.-THE Indianapolis park board
has authorized immediate
LII Improvement and equip
ment Of five more Fairgrounds for
children. When these are opened
the city will have forty play
grounds in operation this season.
City Fairgrounds aren't beauty
spots. Neither flowers, nor green
sward, nor landscape effects de-
light the eyes of passersby. Never
theless, maintenance and extension
Of the system is one OF the most
important activities of the park
board.
Children must play. In the open
air they find the ingredients for
rudy cheeks. sturdy bodies and
sparkling eyes. Healthy outdoor
play with safety is a problem in
the more densely populated Sec
lions of town.
The answer for too many young
sters has been the streets. With
the result that many parents are
raising hclldren to be traffic casual
ties. Childish pursuit Of spry ozone
molecules under the wheels of mo-
tor vehicles is liable to irritate the
latter and obliterate the child.
Municipal Fairgrounds. ade-
quately supervised. solve the prob
lem. There children can romp,
and run their ~inalienable right to
play ragged. in perfect security
as is attested by the fact that not
a serious accident occurred on a
city playground last year.
OF course, the equipment and
maintenance OF Fairgrounds is
costly, but not nearly so expensive
as failures to provide them. AS a
civic asset a youngster outdoors
at play Is worth two in the hos
pital.
