In former years the program has usually provided recreational fea- lures for the children during the day. Their homes and the work at the playground was little known to many others. The supervisors this year have added member of early evening attractions which have drawn many older folks as well. thus demonstrating most convtnc- ingly to those whose taxes must pay the bill the advantages of the park playground program.
