New York, May 1.-THE Bowery
begins again in the One Hundred and
Twenties along Third Avenue. The
clean poverty of Germantown van
ishes and you find again some of the
drab hopelessness of the lower end
of the island.
borhood knows it by any other name)
is daub of pleasant green, but in
it lounge the most depressing folk i'm
aginable. 1t isn't that they are rag
ged or dirty. They have, many of
them, faces lined by malevolent de-
spair.
Once upon a time this was one of
the most dangerous purlieus in town.
Gangs roamed the streets, eager to
rob and murder. Lost brownskin wo-
men leaned from windows. It was SUI
icide to be out after dark. Now most
of that has been cleaned out; only the
dregs of the early depravity remain
too dazed or too lazy to move on.
And a little blue-eyed, golden-hair-
ed girl, romping merrily across the
green, unaware that she was, per-
haps, the herald of a new and bright
er civilization.
Indeed all the parks of the town
are warming sights on the first days
of warm weather. You can look out
the window, as I do, and tell what the
weather is by the number of people in
the park and their apparel.
Now it chances that the hive in
which I have a cubicle Overlooks a
park, long, sommolent, which has
sprung to life this winter with the
painful labors of the WPA: they are
erecting a wading pool for children.
A hospital flanks the park on the
other side, and 1 am told that the di-
rectors of the hospital are protesting
about the wading pool. They claim it
will be noisy and disturb patients.
I can't understand that. If I were
ailing on a hospital cot 1 should be
soothed by the distant clamor of
small voices, the shouts of boys and
girls at play in a pool. Those are a.
mong the pleasantest sounds on this
earth and to the sick they should
signify youth and health. But the
grave medicoes seem to feel differ
emily.
Instead they equip their hospital
rooms with radio earphones, on the
of crooners and the lush promises of
the rabble-rousing politicians are
more comforting sounds than the
laughter of children in pool. It is a
strange world and stranger town!
