CITY PLAYGROUND
PROGRAM STUDIED
Longer Hours, Greater
Variety of Features Are
Planned for Summer

A more elaborate plan for the
playground program was given a
great deal of consideration at a
meeting last night of the park de-
partment board. 1t was pointed out
that the Fairgrounds should be open
longer hours and for more days
this summer for the purpose of pro-
viding greater recreational per-
iod for the children whose parents
are doing work in the war indus
tries.
The project was referred to a COM
mittee which includes the mayor,
Park Superintendent James ]. Cur
tin and Secretary Thomas Moore.
1t seems most likely that the
grounds will be opened when schools
close In June and stay open until
September, instead OF being open
during July and part of August as
in the previous years. The play
grounds will be open until 8 p. m
instead OF 6 p. m. as they were
in the past. A recommendation
was made to ask teachers, firemen
and other municipal employees to
assist as supervisors In the broad
ened program.
John p. Elton was reelected to his
office OF president: i. j. DAILY was
again voted vice-president and
Thomas F. Moore was elected sec
rotary at the meeting which also
called for the annual election oil
park board officials.

In Waterbury"
LET us remember in dealing with
the individual problem that even
established theories based on yea :
Of experience do not always work,
We must have knowledge Of the In
dividual and VIC must be objective
and then we must weigh all the EVIL
dence and be flexible in our judg-
ments," declared Marjorie M. Far
ley, field supervisor Of the State
Welfare Department before the club
advisors at Central YMCA last
night. Miss Farley listed several
traits OF problem individuals, as fol-
lows: the non-conformist, aggrcSsor,
the griper, the spy, the upsetter, and
the sulky individual. She drew on
her experience in field work, along
psychopathic lines and urged group
workers to consult with specialists
on extreme cases.
