Urge Citizens To
Help Equip New
Ploy Arec

Leonard Carter of the LOafers
Club stated this week:
After a tremendous amount Of
pressure was brought to bear from
interested people in the commun-
ity. the st. Paul Department OF
Parks and Fairgrounds erected a
playground on Rondo and oxford.
This area is now known as the
Rondo-Oxford Playground, and II
will serve a large number Of
youngsters and adults as a recrea-
tional facility.
In the Park Board budget there
is a specified sum Of money that
win enable the department to furn-
ish a minimum amount Of equip
ment for use on the field This
equipment will only serve a few
of the people who will use the
facility. When an inquiry was
made, II was pointed out that TO
further outfit teams, purchase
other equipment, etc, booster clubs
for specific Fairgrounds under
write the expenses involved. These
clubs are usually comprised Of
community people who are inter
ested in the general welfare Of
their children and other worth
while enterprises within their To-
cality
Clubs of this nature could help
equip the youngsters at the Rondo-
oxford playground in order that
they might participate on the same
level as groups on other fields
are participating.
THE Department Of Parks and
Fairgrounds has given us an
inch by placing a wonderful
| play ground in this area. We should
unite and take the entire yard
by further equipping this park and
Ioutfitung our boys and girls with
much needed equipment
TO further this proposed plan
a meeting has been scheduled at
Halle @ Brown Conn unitv
House, 553 Aurora. at 7:3O pm
Tuesday April 9Th.
Please plan TO attend In order
that you can take part in this
constructive planning.
