‘D—12 PLAYGROUND LACK | HIT BY COMMITTEE, Lower Northeast Children Hampered and Endangered, Says Letter. § Children in the lower Northeast sec- ton are hampered in their play ac- | tivities and subjected to serious danger because of the lack of proper play- ground facilities, it was charged by the Northeast Playground Committee in an open letter recently issued. The committee, composed of repre- eentatives of 14 civic groups in the District, pointed out that, due to the | absence of an adequate playground, | student athletic teams of the Peabody | and other schools have been compelled ‘ | | | to journey to the Northwest daily for athletic practice. and an unusually high Ppercentage of young children have been | injured in street accidents and unsu- pervised play. Playground Made Park. The Plaza Playground. created by ermission of the Government after the ederal Children’s Bureau recommend- ed purchase of land for a large play- groand, has been converted into a park, 85 per prior agreement to reiurn the property to the Government when wanted. This leaves the area with two playgrounds for white children and two for colored children, alt four of which, the committee asserted are too small for the use of older children cf school age. | Miss Sybil Baker, director of the Playground Department, recently cited the lack of needed play facilities in the northeast and urged en immediate remedy More than 3.000 children in the Dis- trict are affected by present conditions, | the committee letter stated and the territory embraccs a population of more than 30,000 pers-ns Tract Is Recommended, Condemnation of a sufficient tract for use as a playground was recom- mended by the citizens, who suggested the use of part of the $16,000,000 fund created for public parks, playgrounds and highways by the Cramton bill. The rate of juvenile delinquency in the lower Northeast secticn is 11 per cent above that of other sections, the committee declared, while a total of 83 accidents to children, one of them fatal, | were reported by ninth precinct police during the past vear.

The little town of Ely. up on the {ron :ange of Minnesota, notorious “dead spots” on the radio map, may acquire a new broadcasting station, despite the overcrowded condition of the wave lengths and the Federal Radio Commission’s avowed intention of licensing no more new broadcasters. A recommendation by Chief Exam- | iner Ellis A. Yost that a new local sta- tion be authorized for that community | is now pending before the commission. | With a population of 6.000 and with 13.000 others living within a 20-mile radius, this section of Northern Min- | nesota is sald to be sorely in need of | radio service, The iron ranges and | other mineral deposits absorb radio signals and prevent good reception of distant stations, even those of high power, according to Yost's finding. The situation in the iron range region of Minnesota is not unlike that exisiting in “granite country” of New England. There are several ‘“dead spots” in that, area in which reception is also notoriously poor, because of the granite deposits which underlie the territory and impede the travel of the radio impulses. To overcome this con- dition, the Westinghouse Co. nearly six_vears ago linked Station WBZ. Springfield, and WBZA, Boston, by land wire, on the same channel, in order to adequately cover this terri- tory. This was the first s)‘nk‘hrom?&d hook-up of radio stations. In the case of the Ely application, | Yost recommended that a new station to operate with 100 watts at night and 250 watts daylight ~be assigned to Jacob L. Pete, thy applicant. The sta- tion would <hal$ time with Station KGDE, Fergus Falls, Minn., which is willing to_relinquish’ a_portion of its time on the air to provide service for Ely and :ts enviroms. e | "IDLE TO CLEAN TOWN | GIVING RELIEF IN NEED| MONTREAL (Special) —Civic pa- triotism is being demonstrated by un- employed residents of Walkerville, On- tario. Men who have been receiving ald from th> municipality for some time are now offering to, work without pay More than half of the unemployed have signed a petition to Mayor B. W. Bennett and more are signing hourly. The petition reads: “We, the undersigned citizens of Walkerville, at present unemployed, realizing that our town is carrying & -hea load in the effort to relieve the distress in the community, appreciat- ing that Walkerville is doing everything in its power to make it possible for us to come through this depression suc- | cessfully, and feeling that as citizens | of the said town we are anxious and | willing to do our part, hereby offer to | donate our services during part of this | time of idleness to assist the town in keeping Walkerville beautiful by dis- gn ing of the falling leaves and rub- ish in our parks and boulevards dur- | ing the coming month." Arrangements are being made to put the plan into effect. TODAY'S AMUSEMENTS.
