$4,000 REQUESTED
FOR RECREATION
Brooklyn District to Enjoy
Better Facilities Next
Summer
--NEA Telephoto

Positive action for affording rec
reational facilities for the Brooklyn
section Of the city Is seen to be de-
veloping with the recent announce
ment that an appropriation Of $4,000
has been inserted in the requested
budget for 1914, Of the Department
of Education, for the purpose Of re-
conditioning the old Duggan school
swimming pool.
The reopening Of this pool, which
has remained idle for some six
years or more, would afford the OPP
porturity for both children and
adults alike, In that section, to take
advantage Of its facilities during
the hot summer months. AS health
influence from the standpoint Of
exercise and recreation Its advant-
ages are obvious.
Residents Of the Brooklyn section
have made repeated moves 10 bring
about the reopening of the pool
and 1t Is expected that the present
plans are as result Of these appeals.
While the motion to appropriate the
money has yet to be passed by the
board Of finance 1t Is reported that
1t will meet with favorable approval
by the majority.
At the time the pool was closed,
failure to drain 1t properly resulted
in rapid deterioration which was
added TO by q certain amount Of
vandalism practised on 1t by youths
that broke into the building.
With the tearing down Of the old
Porter street school in Brooklyn
tentative plans are being considered,
BY officials, for the establishment Of
geographically speaking, Is about
the only city area without such GEN.
trail outdoor recreational facilities.
This move will also be heartily en-
dorsed by the residents OF the lat
ter section.

Uncle Dick Mills, and although
Uncle Dick was known to be in

WHO had seen him. He was here,
but none knew him as he stalk
ed about like disembodied spir-
it. On Tuesday, Victor Hanover,
local barber, dropped in and ex-
planned the mystery.
Uncle Dick is best known by
his long iron-grey whiskers that
reach almost to his belt. Victor,
the bar Der, had eyed these with
professional interest for a num-
Der of years, and had made him
several propositions on shave
and haircut, all of which had
been steadily refused.

into a chair and ordered a shave
and hair cut. Victor lit in with
enthusiasm. The we'll known
whiskers were, moved down with
the exception of long, handle
bar moustache, a hair cut given,
with a tonic and blackin' for the
moustache thrown in, all free.
Uncle Dick explained that the
last time he had had a shave was
over twenty-five years ago, when
Alb Vance. now long absent from
these parts, had shaved him with
a case knife that had been sharp
ened up into a good razor. Such
good shave could be given by
this case-knife razor that all the
neighbors used it, and Cap Wib
Haynes, of the Capital Police,
Richmond, came to the Mills
home for a shave on every one
of his yearly visits with his fam
lily on Pound River.
Uncle Dicks picture was TAX
en- by the barber before and af-
ter his transformation, and we
hope to have these for the paper
at an early date.
