In a general way, parks. inerease in size in proportion to the distance from the business center. Parks may be grouped into several classes, but for the purposes of this discussion only three different; classes will be considered: Types of Parks. First, large, natural parks, where little besides building of roads, and approaches, and clearing out of un- derbrush. Here would be placed the Sibley Island grant of the U ernment to the city of Bismarck Judge Christianson was most enthu- siastie in his description of thi beauty spot of nature, just within driving distance of the city, where hirds are more plentiful than in other vicinities, where deer and less- er anima? plant life, such magnificent old elms and oak are twined in bitter-| weet and wild grape vines. Approach to Retreat. The matter of approach to this re- of nature would be the most us consideration, the speaker A pontoon bridge would per-| haps be the least expensive means of crossing to the island, so closely connected with the early history of our community.

F. D. { Hecker, a physician, points out that non-stop dancing is not new. Ac- cording to his story the recent an- ities of girl dancers in New York ‘Cleveland, Dallas and — elsewhere {were mild compared to some of the Idancers back in the fourteenth and jlater centuries. Recent records of 60, 80 and ‘90 hours of dancing compared very well with the record of 4 girl seen in his outh by Felix Flaiter who lived be- rs 1536 and 1614. Fla- the girl danced for a au ar hz | ltween the yi ter wrote tha month. During these manias of da peasants left their plows, artisan their tools and hous®wvives their duties to join the revels, At Aix La ; Chapelle in 1374 crowds formed jeircles in the streets and danced un- itil they fell from exhaustion, ne BOY SCOUTS LEGION GUESTS along the Missouri river bluffs be-{ yond the Country Club (including! among other features the well de-! veloped outline of a former Indian} village), is one of the most desirable | park sites in the state, both as Loy view and ease of approach. Various} Missouri river sites were recommend-| ed as excellent natural park projects. | One of these would include Appia! creek for swimming and wading.’ | There has also been some Sugges-! tion that a park of considerable size{ might be developed beyond the Mis souri river as an inter-city park-| lying as it does between Bismarck | and Mandan. | A second class of parks are those, perhaps more useful to the public because of their proximity to famil-! ies and individuals, namely the small- plots of ground, comprising a few or less, such as “Custer Park.” Small Plot Parka It was suggested by the speaker; that a triangle of ground adjacent to Custer park could be added for playgrounds with adequate eqwip- ment. Reference was made to the five- acre plot in Lincoln addition, pre- sented to the city by Henry Tatley.j Another bit of recreational ground suggested was one on Hay Creek; some three miles northeast of the/ capitol grounds where there now exists a “swimming hole.” The pres- | ent site of the baseball park adja-; cent thereto is another possibility. Judge Christianson advised the se-| ‘lection of other tentative sites by the members of the junior high school} in their proposed essays on the sub-/ ject of parks for Bismarck. A third class of parks are those already existing, such as school grounds that are calling for land- seaping and development. Thest co-relation with the extensive Cap- itol park, with its already proposed plan of beautiful landscaping, could be an all important group in the fu-| ture city park system of the city.

Reep, Fecelveenor the defunct Scan- dinavian-American bank of Fargo, in event of failure to satisfy judgments, have been filed in district court here and placed in the sheriff’s hands. The claims are part of many claims growing out of pledges of farmers for stock notes, etc., in the defunct bank. #The claims for this county average about $140 each and the de- fendants named are O. M. Colip. Engvald Eide, John. Jarvis, P. J. Jacobson, Andrew Kraft, John Plines, The answer to the question “when” should this park program be insti- tuted, the speaker continued, is “now.” This does not mean that a huge expensive program should be undertaken at once, and large tax burdens added; but it does mean that there should be beginning now; that a park commission should be chosen; that a definite policy should be formulated, and a system planned, so that even if only one tree is planted it fits into the ulti- mate whole. It takes time to de- velop parks. Great buildings may be. constructed in months, but na- ture takes years to construct) shrubs and trees. (Continued on Page 4) Henry Pilhlaja, L. C.
