Large Picnic Turnout
Yesterday. so adults and twice
that many children turned out
for an annual Family Picnic"
in the park. The shouts of play
ing children blended with music
from records and an accordion,
broadcast over a public address
system less than 800 yards from
the spot where the girls were
slain.
The picnic was staged by the
Riggs Lane (Md.) Teen Club, in
cooperation with the Prince
Georges County Recreation De-
partment in an effort to "re-
instill the neighborhood's faith"
in the usefulness of the park.
Among the spectators at a teen
talent show was Mrs. Thomas
Ryan, mother of one of the slain
girls, and two of her daughters.
Her presence seemed to bolster
the temper of the picnic.
This is the safest place in the
world, for adults or children"
commented George Seal, of 1919
Twenty-fifth avenue, Manor
Park. Mr.. Seal and his wife, who
have three children, were among
the many parents who feel the
park should be used by the COM
munity instead of being feared.
Fear by Others Fades
Sharing this opinion were Mr..
and Mrs. Wilmer C. Kluth of
ITwenty-fifth avenue and Chap
man street. two blocks from the
park. The Kluths, who shared
their lunch with reporters, ad-
mitted they had some apprehen-
sion over letting their three
children play in the park after
dusk. But they feel that This
was one of those things that
don't happen more than once in
a 100 years." and that things
are returning to normal in the
community.
All who attended the picnic
were sure that, when another
picnic is held next year, the
attendance will be much greater.
The park, they agreed, is safe.
