SAFE DRIVING

ELY'S PROPOSED
RECREATIONAL PROGRAM

ELY'S PROPOSED
RECREATIONAL PROGRAM
Since August, 1910, the city ant
school district at Virginia have CO.
operated in joint recreational pro
gram. Interested in learning wha
effect the program had had on juven
lie delinquency and public safety,
wrote the Virginia police department
asking it to comment.
Following are excerpts from a repl.
by A. b. Dahl of the department.
bureau of investigation:
"Since the Inauguration of our
recreationaI program in Virginia
there has been a very marked de-
cline in juvenile delinquency.
I'm regard to its effect on public
safety, would not be able to tell
for matter of a few weeks, but
I do believe it will eventually re-
suit in a beneficial effect as far as.
the safety of children is con-
cerned."
Results like these certainly are
worth great deal to Virginia, and
they would be worth a great deal
to Ely. The establishment of
supervised recreational program in
Ely is a step in the direction of
providing proper guidance to the
young people of the city.
Ely is very much in need of play
grounds to keep its youngsters off tn
streets. The hazard of children play
ing games ON city thoroughfares cal
be removed only if proper places TO
them to play are provided.
