Poetic Thoughts
Women's Clubs
By NORRIS GIBBS. Sr.

Those fine outstanding, noble characters who mould
The lives of all young and take them the fold
Of their different clubs where organization stands,
The prime feature in teaching the heart help the hand
Who doesn't believe in women's clubs?
Years ago such was the
That many good women could not afford to belong
For peace and harmony at home their song
Now education and time does wonderful things,
Enghtment to dark thoughts and to womens place brings
spot that should have been hers long ago,
For civilization said had gone long enough slow
With strides that rapid and sincere
She has weathered the storm of others fears
For which lot of men proud to say
His wife belongs to clubs today

Recreation Board set up and adequate

planned and most comprehensive sys-
TENS Of recreation for any city its size

1T is my opinion that a board such
as this stands better chance OF get
ting money than some agency that
carries recreation as q secondary pro-
gram"
100000 in improvements.
Working on a land-purchase pro-
gram that was launched In 1924 and
has followed the plan for 26 neigh
borhood major recreation centers, de-
veloped in 1880 In conjunction with
the interested agencies, the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission now has purchased 265 acres
in various sections OF the city. I'm
provements. costing 100000 have
been made on this land by the va
rious agencies concerned.
Seventy per cent OF the land con-
cerned in the program is under the
jurisdiction Of the National Capital
Parks, Mr.. Barrett said; 20 per cent
is under the Board of Education and
10 per cent is under the District
government. The 1890 plan contem-
plates 26 major recreation cepters
and total of l26 playground units

full dividends, by reason Of the lack
OF an advantageous program.
"Whatever system the citizens of
Washington and the different ~agen-
cies concerned can agree upon, am
willing to accept" said Mr.. Barrett.
MY experience and study of the sit
uatlon conVinces me that a Recrea-
ton Board. similar to that called for
under the King bill, would be the most
satisfactory"
Lacks Legal Warrant.
President Roosevelt's District of Co.
lumbia Recreation Committee, headed
by Frederic A.. Delano, chairman of
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, has been function
ing since 1895. On this committee,
the Planning Commission, the Board
Of Education, the District Commits
sioners and the National Park Service
OF the Interior Department are rep
resented. The committee three years
ago selected Mr. Barrett to co-ordi-
nate the recreational program here.
At present, Mr.. Barrett explained,
the District of Columbia Recreation
Committee is on voluntary basis
and lacks legal warrant. To supply
this lack the King bill has been pro-
posed, he said.
This bill gives the District Of Co.
lumbia Recreation Committee legal
status and adds to its memberShin
representation of one citizen of the
Evening star., 1938-04-03

District and gives the organization
the necessary authority to operate the
whole system. Three years experience
here convinces me that the continue
alton of the present voluntary pro-
gram will not achieve the necessary
results.
For seven years, Mr.. Barrett worked
In Des Moines, Iowa, under a Recre-
alton Commission, on which the Board
OF Education, Park Board, City Plan
ming Commission, Playground Associ-
alton and five members appointed by
the City Commission were represented.
That, he said, was similar to the set
up proposed by the King bill. In
Newark, N. j., Mr.. Barrett worked
under the Board Of Education in the
Recreation Department, when the
Community Center and Playground
Departments were merged into the
Department Of Recreation, under the
board. That, he said, is the cone of
the plan proposed by Henry I. Quinn,
member Of the Washington Board >of
Education.
Mr.. Barrett declared he is not con-
cerned with details OF the King pro-
posal, save that the board should not
be too large and that one comprising
seven or nine members would be more
workable than larger board. The
four agencies concerned should be
represented, he said.
