WITH THE GROWTH OF PUBLIC
recreational and educational programs lost
cred by the state and federal government
as we'll as local communities, school build
ings and equipment in most places nave
come to be used far more frequently Tor
adult activities only remotely associated
with the regular school program OF the dis
tricts.
Every school district has heavy IN
vestment in facilities most OF which WILL be
antiuuated long before they are worn out
and it is entirely practical as well as conven-
lent and economical to use them for such
outside activities Considering the, relative
ly short school days, the number OF Satur-
DAYS, Sunday and holidays during the school
year and summer vacation, we were not get
ting near the maximum from our investment
under the old schools for school children
only" policy.
Use of the Redwood Falls school for the
Farmers Institute in March is a case in
point The school auditorium is the logical
place for such an activity, 1t is particularly
appropriate right now when everyone in the
community who has not already visited the
new high school is interested in seeing it.
The district may easily add to it's enrolment
in the upper classes as result.
Less tangible but nevertheless an asset
to the community is the opportunity for
wholesome recreation provided adults who
use the handball, basketball and other sport
facilities in supervised classes. Use of the
building last summer made it possible for
the city to- entertain a stable state con-
vention economically and delegates went
away singing praises of the city.
School officials are to be commended on
their attitude in these matters.
WHAT MAY BE REGARDED AS A
sign of the times politically, possibly even
as step toward the eventual control of the
government by persons supported by the
government occurred at the Douglas coun-
ty Farmer-Labor association meeting in
Alexandria January Is.
Two hundred WPA clients, carrying
newly issued 81 FL association member
ship cards, packed the meeting and COM
pletely dominated the conduct of business
before the organization. Among other steps
they Endorsed new candidate for the legis-
lature to oppose party member who fav-
ored the ST., 100000 relief bill in the last
legislature when the WPA men felt he
should have gone whole hog for the SIT ,O00,-
900 relief bill.
The meeting was so thoroughly packed
that attempts to read communications from
persons not in good standing with the new
members were shouted down. The group
cheered long and loudly for John L. Lewis
and his CLIO. These facts, incidentally, are
taken from the Park Region Echo, recog-
nized Farmer-Labor paper and not from any
