Parents are urged to send their
youngsters to one of the city play
grounds for their recreation. This
is the best way to insure the safe
ty of the naturally overactive
youths who love to exert their en-
ergy during the hot summer
months in play. True, there is a
shortage of recreational areas in
Dayton, particularly on the West
end, but there are some and chill
dren ito be encouraged to use
them.
Playing in the streets is danger
Gus. Already this summer many
children have been hit by cars
while playing or riding bicycles
in the streets. Motorists have a
difficult time keeping their eyes
on approaching vehicles, without
having to also watch cyclists rid
ing on the side of the street in
front of them.
Furthermore, the street cutters
are dirty and unhealthy, unfit for
children to play in if they are to
grow into normal, healthy adults.
Recreation activities are now in
progress at the SO summer play
grounds in Dayton. They will be
open for a 1O-week period. Mon

Important Advice To
Parents

days trough Fridays supervisors
will be on hand to direct the chill
dren's activities. This will insure
interesting, body building exer-
cises. 1t will also insure the type
of mental development and atti-
tudes necessary if the children are
to adjust to the complexities of
contemporary life.
We are not attempting to SER
monte. A human life, particular
ly the life of a young person who
is a long way from fulfilling his
"four score" years, is the most
precious thing on this earth. Far
too many of those lives are being
snuffed out.
Let's keep our children off the
streets. Encourage them to play
in areas designated as a play
ground, and with a supervisor.
Above all keep them away from
areas where there is automobile
traffic.
1t is also advisable to warn par
ents to keep their children away
from all water save that which is
fit for drinking. The polio season
is here, and swimming in insani-
tary water is one of the biggest
causes Of the Gripping disease.
Actually, children and adults
should stay away from all places
that is not properly protected
with life guards.
