BY END OF WEEK .
Supervisors are Given
Their Instructions

Locked schoolyard playground
gates will swing open tomorrow
morning, admitting Washington
children to supervised play areas,
free from the danger of being
crushed beneath automob
wheels.
Lewis R. Barrett, coordinator of
education, planned to spend today
interviewing supervisors and CIV
ing them their instructions. He
hoped that at least half of the
13 to be made available will be
opened tomorrow, while the re-
mainder will be opened before the
end of the week.
The opening of additional play
grounds was Washington'S answer
to a July traffic fatality list which,
at least as far as children were
concerned, was regarded by police
as the worst within memory"
0E WFA WORhERS
Mrs. Mary Steele, director OF
women's projects for the WPA..
has received Federal authorization
to provide So workers as part of
the Federal recreation project.
The 50 will include a senior and
three Junior workers for each of
the 13 Fairgrounds. Meanwhile.
Mrs. Steele announced she be-
1ieved she could get Federal au-
thorization for additional workers,
which would make possible the
opening of more Fairgrounds.
70 REMAIN CLOSED
After the opening of the 13 play
grounds, there will still be about
10 closed. School officials have
been unwilling to open them with
out adequate supervision of the
youngsters.
Seven children have been killed
in Washington traffic accidents in
a little more than seven weeks,
and four others are still under
treatment for injuries. July
crashes cost a total of 13 lives. the
largest number for that month in
any year since 1923. and the
largest number for any single
month since last December.
