check from Receiver Moran was Mrs.

Unsupervised Play
Areas Blamed for
Most Injuries
Tabular Summary
Of 700 Accidents
Given School Boord

More school children have been
hurt while playing without supervi-
sion on school Fairgrounds than in
any other way, it was revealed yes
terday in a survey of more than TOO
accidents to school children during
the 1938-39 school year.
The report was submitted to the
Board Of Education, and contained
a tabular summary of accidents by
Statistician N A. Danowsky from
an earlier study by Robert W. Eaves,
principal of the Thomson School
and chairman of the public schools
safety committee
In the elementary schools, 252 ac-
cidents were investigated and 1872
were found to have occurred on the
playground. One hundred and sixty
two were during unsupervised play.
The Junior high and vocational
schools reported a. total of 319 acci-
dents, of which 12l occurred on the
playground and 127 in unsupervised
play. The toll taken by playground
apparatus in both elementary, jun-
ior high and vocational schools was
small
Runs Close Second.
Unsupervised play ran close Sec
ond to organized play in the senior
high schools, which reported IA
accidents, so during organized play
and As in unsupervised play. The
playground, with 43, still was the
place where most injuries occurred.
Cuts were the principal injuries
suffered in all groups, although the
elementary children showed large
number of broken bones.
In the elementary schools, Octo-
ber claimed the most victims while
May was the bad month for the
junior high and vocational pupils.
February was the month in which
most of the senior high pupils were
injured.
The study showed the bulk of the
high school injuries at Central and
Dunbar, while Langley had the most
injuries in the Junior high level. In
the elementary group, the third dl-
vision-covering some 13 schools in
an area between Florida avenue on
the south, Georgia avenue on the
east, Rock Creek on the west and
the District line on the north-had
the largest number of injuries.
Mr.. Danowsky pointed out, how
ever, that there was no uniformity
among the principals of the school
system in reporting accidents Some
reported all accidents, he said,
while others merely reported those
they considered serious.
Members also approved the use
of certain facilities of the Dean
wood and Burrville schools for rec
reation purposes although a re-
port from school officers advised
against the use of the assembly
halls for basketball purposes. DR.
Ballou will investigate the cost in
volved in making over elementary
school auditoriums to permit bas-
ket ball playing If necessary, al
though Recreation Co-ordinator
Lewis R. Barrett indicated his Of
fee was asking approval only in
this particular instance and did not
contemplate large scale use of ele-
mentary school assembly halls for
adult recreation.
DR.. Ballou announced a poll Of
school officers showed approval
generally of the new teacher rat
ing blank used experimentally dur
ing the last year. The blank was
not well received by the teachers.

DEEP CREEK LAKE BODY
MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS
Requests Garrett County Dele
CATION To Enact Them Into Laws

The Deep Greek Lake Association
has sent a number of recommendations
concerning the lake to the Garrett
County delegation at Annapolis and
requested that these recommendation
be enacted into law.
The Association also asks that the
license charge on boats be lifted, point
ing out that nowhere else in Maryland
is a license of that kind required.
"The season lasts only eight to ten
weeks and the owners of the boats can
see no reason for the discrimination"
Major f. B. Carey, secretary of the
organization, said. "Why license boats
here and not elsewhere 1t is expensive
to bring motor and other large boats
here and people who want to enjoy
small boats many times can't afford
it. 1t is just another thing that drives
people away from the lake and keeps
them from becoming willing taxpay-
ers," he said.
The association requested the fol-
lowing: That the present three-day
fishing license on the lake be extended
to one week for the same fee-$2.25;
the issuance of a one-day license, fee
$125; that all boats be required
to have on board a life preserver for
each passenger; surf boat riders
should be required to wear a life pre-
server and proper head gear; all COM
mercial swimming beaches be required
to have on hand six graphing hooks to
be used in case of drowning; the lake
should be closed each year to fishing
until July l.
In addition to the above the Associ-
alton reported it saw no justification
for fish screen being constructed at
the dam because of the expense in
volved and the lack of substantial ev-
idence that such large expenditure
of money would be justified. A care
full inquiry into the facts, the letter
stated, discloses that the loss of game
fish at the hydro-electric power plant
had been greatly exaggerated.
