Believes Transportation
Should Be Made Available
for Certain ReCreatiOnS

Supt. Of Parks James J. Curtin is
continuing his crusade for increases
in allotmentS OF public transporta-
ton TO provide recreational outlets
for thousands Of persons unable to
reach play resorts because of the
war emergency ban on use of gaSo-
line for pleasure.
Il believe some consideration
should be given to the recreational
needs of our people and that it
should be regarded as important to
the war effort" added the official,
pointing out that the curtailment of
bus service has caused too many per-
sons to remain at home sulking. IF
just going out to shady spot and
lying under tree is a persons
idea Of recreation there should be
some public means of him getting
there" declared Mr.. Curtin.
However, nothing is being done
TO supplement public travel facilities
so war workers might do this" he
added.
Many people here are wholly I'M
aware of the number of Waterbur-
ians that are fire escape jewellers in
summer because these are the only
facilities their homes provide"
