Time again to think
about Old Man Winter
what he's going to do
if he's on the war
path or not. The one
sure way to make cer-
tain he won't faze you
is to put your home in
condition now - check
everything. A simple
job of repairing, if left
neglected, can easily
turn into a nightmare
this winter costing you
bo'h h money and dis
comfort. One thing es-
pecially to check on, is
insulation. Proper in
sulation can cut down
excessive fuel bills con-
siderably. To insure
yourself a comfortable
home, let us check your
home and put it in con-
dition TO battle Old
Man Winter effective
ly.

RecreotionuI Facilities

The Acting Co-ordinator of Recre-
alton for the District has come for
ward with a S5,56O,70O development
program for local facilities which,
if it were put into effect along with
unified recreation control system,
should certainly place the Nations
Capital on a par with the leading
cities of the country in this field in
stead of tagging ten years behind
them as at present.
The need for such a development
program is clearly shown by the fig
ureS in Co-ordinator Christensen S
report. The estimated value of land
allocated to recreational use and de-
velopment in the District is about
$40 100000. During the past fifteen
years something more than S4,500000
has been spent in the purchase of
land. During the past ten years only
Sl25,O00 has been appropriated to
develop the recreation properties. In
other words, the city has the ground,
but needs the money to equip it.
Fortunately, the Capital has been
able to obtain the services of such
relief agencies as the Public Works
Administration, Work Projects Ad-
miniStration and Civilian ConServa-
ton Corps for some development
work beyond what could be done on
the mere s125,OOO allowed during the
past decade to maintain this large
taxpayer investment, but even this
has been limited by lack of adequate
appropriations from the District
budget for the sponsoring of these
relief projects.
Many of the projects included in
the comprehensive program an
nounced by Mr.. Christensen have
been sought for years by various
communities through their civic Or
CARNATIONS and parent-teacher
groups. The Acting Co-ordinator
estimates that development of thirty
SIX recreation areas alone, exclusive
of intended park land development,
would provide leisure time facilities
for 100000 persons annually, as
against 2,245,87O in 1910.
The practical difficulty of obtain
ing at one time the large sum of
money needed, even should special
funds become available to the city
