DOWN OUR WAY
by frances sampson

q campaign for five thousand dollars to be
used in the construction of field house at
Townsend park is considered as a worthwhile
project for Negro youths in the Pine Bluff
community. Because of the terrible plight of
the young people in this community. ii is urged
that every citizen make an immediate contri-
button 10 the campaign and put the Negro
park commission in a position 10 do what 1t
believes will hasten the action planned. We
shall not bubble over the methods or the poll
fcies OF the Negro park commission, and will
spend few columns on an attempt to play
up the need for such facilities
The WPA project which provided a meeting
piace for a number Of years at Townsend
park was destroyed several years ago by fire.
The building has never been replaced. Under
fhe leadership OF Mrs. Edna Mays, a monument
to the war dead of Jefferson county was erect
I'd on the park grounds. II is to be regretted
that among the many organizations in Pine
Bluff few. If any have manifested any interest
IN the placement of permanent additions to the
park grounds. II must be borne in mind at all
times that the facilities for white children al
Oakiawn park and over the city have been pro-
vided not solely upon the monies received from
the public treasury. However, We may decry
the unfair distribution Of public monies for
public benefits to Negro citizens, We must be
ever mindful that good citizen will not sit
idly by and permit waste Of the lives Of
hundreds of young people in the Pine Bluff
community. There are enough men and women
of means who have children in their homes
to band themselves together to provide decent
and character building agencies and facilities
for the development Of young people in Pine
Bluff
All Negro Children Of this community now
have an opportunity to swim in pool which
ranks creditably with the pool provided for
white children. Thousands have come from
over the city and county to enjoy the facility
and the annual bathing beauty contest has eyi-
denced the interest of the people in the Negro
community as to their appreciation for such
facilities. However, sacrifices are now in order
and We must provide a HOUSE FOR THE
CHILDREN to learn games. dance and use up
their leisure time. Il is hoped that some of the
wdnen's organizations will Immediately con-
slider some contribution to the maintenance Of
such institution in the light of the needs
for cultural and physical development.
Personal contributions and sacrifices must be

made, and here il is recalled that Harold (the
lawyer and Cleon (the DOCTOR Of the Flowers
family, pledged to pay $4,000 when the cam
pagn was on for the construction Of the
swimming pool. One Hundred dollars was paid
and not single demand has been made for the
payment of the pledge since the last payment
was made BY Harold al meeting held at the
Merrill high school a few years ago. The Negro
park commission is again pledged the sum Of
$4,000 by the Flowers brothers for the pur-
pose Of building a field house at Townsend
park. This does not stem from desire to COM
pete with any fellow citizens in the campaign
as to the size Of gifts or donations. But, these
two men have between them eleven children
who have playrnates and they need a place to
play The value of such a recreational improve
ment is negligible when it is remembered that
such house may we'll help in developing the
type Of children who will become good citizens
Il IS believed from here that other public
spirited citizens will give equal amount or
more in an effort to leave to the citizens of
tomorrow an example of the type of citizen
ship which Arkansas and the nation must have
that we assume the role which is assigned 10
US under Gods plan in the affairs OF the
world. We believe that such public spirited
citizens as DR.. c. A. Lawlah, Dr. ]. W. Parker.
DR.. W. (. OBryant, A. L. Pennington, P. K.
Miller, Mrs. David Davis, Dr. w. l.. Molette.
Troy c. Alley, DR.. H. H. Phipps, jr Dr. R. T.
Johnson, Theodore Jones, Lawrence A. Davis,
and W. T. Alexander could make pledges i'm
mediately which would assure the Negro park
commission that the campaign for Five Thou
sand Dollars will go over Such a committee
appearing before the Pine Bluff city council
would without doubt bring about immediate
action and the children Of this community
would have HOUSE IN WHICH TO PLAY by
the time the leaves Of autumn fall!
Under the busness-like leadership Of the
chairman Of the Negro park commission, NAL
win +. Moore, ST.. the citizens may rest as
sured that their monies will al all times be
accounted for, and will be spent only upon
considered judgment. We urge the citizens to
rally to the cause Of the commission. and at
the same time wait for the public announce
nent from the pulpits, platforms, forums and
organizations throughout the city of Pine
Bluff. We suggest that a CITIZENS COMMIT
TEE be established Immediately 10 work with
the Negro park commission for the accom-
plisment Of this objective. so, MOTE 1T Be-
