Last night we had the opportunity to visit the tennis
courts, at Greenfield park as the guest OF Jesse REYNOLDS

of recreation at Nesbitt Courts. -,

been erected on poles at the end OF the courts 10 a11oro

Mr.: Reynolds pointed out this was the first night OF
the skating rink" and from all indications it was a huge
success.
A great deal of credit should go to the City Recreation
department for making possible the rink and furnishing the
music during the evening. Special music is played for the
skaters and under the supervision OF Miss Waters and
Reynolds. the children were having the time OF their lives.
Such facilities as the skating rink is what Wilmington
needs to fight juvenile delinquency. With a supervised
program that is interesting, the children will keep off the
streets. Skating is lots of fun, but when one skates on
we take off our hat to the recreation departments new

Our London correspondent adds a choice tid-bit to the
old skillet in the way of news that the British are already
making detailed preparations for the Olympic Games to be

cal questions, housing, finance, TRANSPORT, medical service,
entertainment, press and public relations and the. arts.
