DURING the war many a college athlete enrolled at West Point
and Annapolis. The academies were glad to get them since ex-

a return of peace, however, some of the athletes resigned. There was
more than a hint in some quarters that lucrative scholarships and

City SurOeys Ruins At LakeUood Park
Restoration of Former Recreation Site to Be Among Chief Objectives Of Park Department During Year

Ed. Note: This is the second iN Q series 0f articles reporting the 18th annual report of the Park Department submitted by Super intendent James J, Curtin.
 Reoonditioning of Lakewood Park as 6 reereational center for Water burians Is being given strong con slderation by the Park Department authorities, 1t is reported by James J, Curtin Park Superintendent in his annual report, Any actual plans for Lakewood will be contingent upon the cost of repairs of the widespread vandalism that has t9k- en place there.
 Vandalism
 Many thousands of dollars of damage have been inflicted on facilities at Lakewood by acts of vandals, MT. Curtin reports, Winow glass and easements have been destroyed in the dance pavil. ion; the piano once was pushed off the stage and ruined; clap boards and part of the roof have been pulled off the building and many similar destructive acts, The bathhouse at Lakewood has been the victim of considerable damage, portions of the roof have been smashed in; doors ripped off tho lockers; pipes pulled out of the walls; floorboards pried loose and sideboards broken. In addition, two fires were set with the intent of burning down the building but were detected in time,
 It Is hoped that cost Of repairs and renovations will not be so e%- cesslVe as to prevent rehabilitating Lakewood and Its swimming facili- ties for use by residents of the city,
 Work On Trees
 Considerable work was undertak- en by the Park department on city trees during the year l945, despite the labor handicaps, the report states. Maintenance was effected on trees not only in the parks but also on the citys 228 miles of streets.
 As reported here previously the Dutch Elm blight has hit many trees particularly those on The Green and Church Street, At least 8 of the 63 elms on The Green have been afflicted and are doomed to die within 10 years,
 Spraying of trees, pruning and periodic examinations also are un- dertaken by the departments workers,
 Snow Removal
 During the winter season nearly every man In the department is as- signed to the work of snow removal and sanding of approximately twelve miles of walks and paths and clearing of about nineteen acres of ice skating surface AS

many of the walks are in central sections of town such as those at The Green, City Hall, Library Park and the Grove Street side of Hay den Park they must be given im- mediate attention, Hundreds of people use those walks early in the day and consequently unless they are cleared as quickly as possible the snow Is packed down requiring additional time for clearance. To counteraet as much as possible this situation, we have arranged to have two of our men report for duty with the power Q driven sidewalk blow, either day or night, when the street blows go Into operation, This blow which clears all but about one half inch of the snow, the rest be- ing completed by hand lapor, is assigned to the downtown sec ton first. After completion of that area, 1t is used on walks at other parks and finally assists in clear ance of skating sites.
 As all walks must be cleared be- fore starting on the ponds there is sometimes, depending on the snowfall, a period of several hours before work on the skating rinks may be started. This situation re- suits in hundreds of telephone calls to the office complaining about 1t. It is not unusual after a fall of several hours duration to re- ceive calls, when the storm is breaking, asking if the ponds have been cleared, We are also subjected to much unjust criticism when as Q safety measure we prohibit skating when the ice has not at tained sufficient thickness or im- mediately after a thaw,
