Nationwide Publicity Given Recreation Events SpOn-
 Ored By Committee Here

The Park Department gained na~ tlon-wide publicity this week tho current War Bulletin Service of the National Recreation Association. Waterbury is mentioned along with Los Angeles. Chicago. New York. Newark, Seattle, Milwaukee, Oak land, Tampa and other large cities as providing ideal recreation pro- grams under the heading "On -shlfk Recreation"
 The article reads: waterbury, Conn, made Q special point last summer of providing non-athletio programs, indeed the most di6lcult type, for war workers who are some times too wary to indulge in stren- uous sports competition"
 The departments block dances and band concerts were given spe- cial mention while the idea put in practice here of having the large industrial plants share the cost oe the music with the park depart ment was considered an ideal one.
 In the war industrial recreation service bulletin entitled "Following the Field", the Waterbury Tool Company's intensive Christmas pro- gram which featured a city-wide enrolling tour by group of 30 girls, the lighting of the company Christ mas tree, and the company's big party for the employees children also came in for special commenda- ton.
 Seven block dances were conduct ed by local park department officials during last summer. It has been es~ timated that approximately ll0c0 persons attended these recreationai programs. Of this latter figure 1t was estimated that $500 attended the dance presented in front of the city hall.
 Co-sponsors with the local Park department in presenting the dances were the Scovill Employees Recrea- ., tional association, Waterbury Tool Co., Benrus Co. and the Pearl street Neighborhood House. General super vision at these popular events was afforded by park officials and the auxiliary police.
