The recreation department has

Gus at those places, Jesse P. Nc
lure, playground director, an
nounced today.
White river-on the banks of
which the two municipal beaches
are situated rose rapidly Wednes-
day night and Thursday morning,
as a result of heavy rains, and the
current was swift and full of dan
gerous eddies.
Mcclure asked that all instruc-
tors at city Fairgrounds caution the
children against swimming in I'M
supervised places.
Four pools, provided by the city,
afford ample facilities for thou
sands, and the two supervised
beaches, under city management,
will be opened as soon as conditions
make it feasible, Mcclure said.
Pools are maintained by the city
at Ringgold, willard and RhodiuS
Fairgrounds for white people, and
at Douglas Park for Negroes. The
pools at Douglas and Rhodius
Parks are among the largest in the
State. each providing room for q
thousand swimmers at one Time.
There are too many drownings
in indianapolis" Mcclure SAID,
"but in the nine years that we have
had supervised pools in the city,
there hasn't been fatality in the
swimming places.
Swimming is taught at all these
places, too, and the more children
taught to swim, the less will be the
chance of tragic water accidents.
Many drownings this year have
been due to high water-when
people who we're unable to swim
went into the water at an unsuper-
vised place, not realizing how high
the water was, nor how swift the
current.
parents can help our fight for
prevention Of drownings by eau
tioning their children not to go to
unsupervised swimming places"

LOUeS His Work
Park Chief Jarvis Finds
Real Pleasure and
Profit in Task.
} WALTER Jarvis, superin-

d WALTER JARVIS, superin-
IN. tendent of parks and recrea-
ton, is a man who is in love with
his work, and doesn't care who
knows it. Jarvis has spent years
in his present line and is sold
thoroughly on the beneficial eff
fects it has on the city as
whole, on the children, and on
the men and women in charge of
the work.
MANY people are surprised that
young men and young women en-
ployed in this work will accept
salaries so much less than they
could make in other fields" Jarvis
declared, but the fact is, they
are learning every day.
The training in leadership,
discipline and Self-cOntrol which
these young people obtain will be
valuable to them throughout life.
There is no other field in which
the same lessons can be learned
so soon and so effectively.
1.-THE responsibility placed on
their shoulders is good for them
and enables them to act decisively,
and learn to depend on them
selves.
II could not recommend a more
profitable employment, physically,
mentally, and morally, than play
ground instruction. 1t is the
greatest developer of character 1
ever has SEEN"
Jarvis has been in the local
recreation department fourteen
years, having been appointed di-
rector of recreation by Mayor
Jewett, in 1918, and made super
intendent of parks and recreation
by Mayor Shank, in 1922.
Prior to 1918, he was superin-
tendent of the Boys Club, South
Side community center, for a
number of years.

The slide is one of the most
popular features of Garfield play
ground. The kids can hardly get
up fast enough. There always is a
long string waiting. Above are
shown a few young citizens eagerly
mounting the stairs preparatory to
a thrilling trip down the polished
boards.
The Garfield frolic lot always is
crowded. Several hundred young
sters every day tax the ingenuity of
instructors in keeping them occu-
pied.
The boys have a number of base
ball teams. The girls are playing
volley ball and baseball. The ten

Costumes will be made at the
