On Picnic Reservations
A change Of policy has been an
nounced by the city parks depart
ment, to give st. Paul churches
and other organizations a better
chance to schedule picnics.
Under the change, announced by
Commissioner Frank L. Loss, pic
mic reservations win be made only

BY applying this restriction, St.
Paul groups win get priority and
win be less likely to be deprived Of

After April 1 out-of-town groups
may apply for park reservations
