eman in the hands OF the cliques that with just
a few exceptions, control them now then terror

progressive and minority groups will be the rule
Much as the solution lies In adequate employ

Unfortunately the white reactionary South is in

the South
They will have TO vote the Rnbos and Rankins

approve the proposal by the City Plan Commission and
the Department of Parks and Recreation for an annau
expenditure of two and half million dollars for play
ground expansion.
This is one of the most basic ways of tackling the
problems of juvenile delinquency poor health levels and
racial preiudces We only regret that the program has
been proposed so late, for believe it to be at least
twenty years overdue.
Normal Youngsters need plenty of recreation as out

Youngsters need activities for the de sop-
