Park View playground open during
January and February and TO pay the
salary of Martha Durham, director,

The action came as the result OF a

that the children Of that community

when they are forced TO coast in the
traffic-filled highways.
What applies to the Park View sec
ton applies to every other section of
the city, as the large number of sled

cate. The citizens associations are
not supposed to use their funds for
such purpose as this one has been
forced to do. The money for the up

the department budget.
