Fairgrounds S.
SURVEY MADE
TO FIX NEEDS
WPA Ready to Supply
Supervisors Here

An emergency survey Of all Dis
trict recreation space to determine
the need for opening additional
Fairgrounds to keep children on
congested city streets was under
taken today by playground OIL
cials.
In the meantime, the WPA stood
IN readiness to provide as many as
rs supervisors to STAFF approxim-
ately 80 Fairgrounds now closed.
The survey is being made by
Mrs. Elizabeth Peoples, director Of
the Community Center Depart
ment, which operates IS play
grounds during the summer; Miss
Sibyl Baker, District director Of
Fairgrounds, whose office has SO
Fairgrounds, and representative
Of Lewis Barrett, recreation CO.
ordinator.
BASED ON SURVEY
As a result Of the survey, 1t was
explained by DR.. Chester w.
Holmes, acting superintendent OF
schools, recommendations will be
made as to whether additional
Fairgrounds should be opened
and If so, how many.
The school authorities nave re-
auested Mrs. Mary Steele, director
of the women's. local WPA prof.
ects, to stand In readiness to sup
ply playground supervisors in the
event the additional play spaces
are opened.
Mrs. Steele, who offered the
services Of the WPA, said today
that she will seek permission to
enlarge her present staff Of 22E
recreation workers to 800, in order
to provide the necessary super
viserS should they be needed.
SOME YARDS TOO SMALL
DR.. Holmes pointed out that, al
though there are "a unused play
spaces, some Of them are merely
yards adjacent to small schools.
and are "too small for organized
play"
He also emphasized that the
greatest responsibility for keeping
children out of traffic dangers
rests with the parents.
DR.. Holmes conferred yesterday
with Major Ernest w. Brown, su
perintendent Of police, on the cam
paign to decrease the traffic toll
among children.
