NO BATHING BEAUTY

Contest for Girls Eliminated
From Fairgrounds Assembly
STRICKEN FROM PROGRAM
Miss Mary A, Campbell, Member of
Recreation Commission, Objects to
Children Exposing Their Physi-
cal Pcrfections Before Public"

Owing to the strenuous objections
raised by Miss Mary A. Campbell,
member OF the municipal recreation
commission and principal of the
Elihu Burritt school. the bathing
beauty contest scheduled to be held
at Willow Brook park tomorrow as
part OF the field day and swimming
meet of the combined programs,
has been eliminated and will not be
held. y conference between James
J. Naughton. chairman of the COM
mission. and Playground Director
John SmithWick was held last night
and it was decided at that time that
Miss Campbelrs objections were
wisely taken and the beauty pageant
would not be held.
Miss Campbcll's Objections
such an affair as the proposed
bathing beauty pageant" said Miss
Campbell today, has no place In
the program OF child education. The
Fairgrounds of the city were insti-
tuted to care for the recreation of
the children OF the city. This is an
essential part of child education"
Beauty pageants are matters in
which adults might participate with
the approval of the general public,
but l can see no benefit to be de-
rived from allowing our playground
girls whose tender years would pre-
Vent them from seeing the harm in
it. to parade their physical perfec-
uons before the public.
THE recreation of a child is an
important part of its education be-
cause it allows the mental relaxa-
ton so needed to a growing young
ster. The Fairgrounds are fortu-
nate medium through which prop
erly supervised recreation for both
boys and girls may be furnished.
Athletics. games, folk dances and
other forms of recreation as out
lined in the general program of
playground work, are benefits whose
worth cannot be known material

injuries sustained in an automobile
accident on July 23, while pas
senger in a truck owned by the de-

ceived cuts on the head, face and

les. was disabled and disfigured, it
is claimed. Immediately after the
