PLAYFfELD WORK
INTERESTS KIDS
Checker Championship Won By
Jack Tillery; Croquet Set Is
Most Popular

With brother and sister compel
ing for the checker championship
Of the playfield, excitement ran
high at the school grounds last
week. Jack Tillery, boys champ
ion, finally defeated Julia Tillery,
girls champion.
The next contest to be inaugur-
ated under the. direction of Elsa
Brogunier will be in broad jump
ing, which will begin week after
next, and will be followed by con-
tests to discover the best runner,
the best at throwing a ball, and
so on.
The youngsters have been get
ting a lot of fun out of the rabbits
and dogs which they are making
out of old inner tubes and dressing
in striped overalls. Next week the
girls will begin making doll
clothes.
The croquet set has arrived and
is making enthusiastic croqueteers
of the children. It is hard to tear
them away to other games, de-
clares Miss Brogunier. Clog dane
ing. will begin Monday, and folk
dancing will be taken up later on.
The sidewalk in front of the school
will be used as the floor, and a
monograph will furnish the mu-
sic. The average attendance last
week was "A. The highest attend
ance for one day was 80, while
there are 100 enrolled. During the
past week children from out-of-
town have visited daily.
While swimming is not a part of
the playfield activities, quite a
few of the youngsters want to take
a swim in the ditch at the school.
The Kiwanis club, sponsors of the
playfield, wishes to inform all par
ents whose children attend, that
if they do not desire their children
to swim, they should notify the di-
rector, who will endeavor to pre-
vent them from going in. The club
or the director assumes absolute
ly no responsibility, however, about
ditch swimming.

RED TAPE DELAYS
HIGHWAY BUILDING
$500, 600, 600 Worth of Pub
lilo improvements Now
Facing a Late Start.

Some s400,0O00Oo worth Of public
improvements are to be built through
out the country In accordance with the
will of voters expressed in the recent
election.
But unfortunately this does not mean
that construction work Is to start ON
these projects Immediately. Red tape
and other causes bring delay and UNI
less more than usual energy is displayed
many projects viii not be under way for
months.
Legal hindrances are in some occa-
sions unavoidable, but communities In
most cases have no plausible reason for
delaying construction. Among the mu-
inequalities that are making special
effort to speed up construction is Chi
ca9o. In that city bond issues were
approved for $23,672,000 with which
streets are to be widened, bridges built,
filled-in land extended and other need
ed facilities built. But even in Chicago,
It Is likely that the bond issue money
viii not become available until the mid
die of January. However work can
start coincidental with the coming OF
good Spring weather.
Outstanding among the bond issues
recently voted are those of New Jersey
Tor $lO0, 1000, 900, of which $4,000, 900
Is to be devoted to highway conStruc--
sion, and the $4,000. 900 issues of
Louisiana for highway, airport, capitol
and other construction. Cleveland Is
koing to buy herself $31 100000 worth
81 street, sewer and river betterments.
But these large issues are of no more
Importance to these populous commun-
titles than are the numerous small bond
issues to small communities. The need
for employment is acute and all COM
nnunities, regardless Of size and regard
less of the proportions Of their bond
issues, can help themselves a great deal
by pushing construction.
Time is required to print bonds and
cell them. Time is required to map
out plans for construction work. The
two activities should proceed simultane-
Ously. That this can be done is shown
IN Louisiana where already preparations
are under way TO issue the first in
stallment of $15,000,000 of highway
bonds. Contracts for the letting of liz
miles of concrete pavement will be let
November as.
