It’s on Puget Sound, two miles south of Des Moin And it runs east to the Tacoma High Line road. At the road it begins as a narrow valley, with a wonder- ful creek running thru it, widens out as it progress and opens out on the Sound with a bathing beach more than a quarter of a mile long, filled with clam beds. There's room to park 10,000 autos in it. There's plenty of space for all the campers who ever will want to go. And there's salt water bathing and wading for you and your family as much as you please. Frank Paul, the county commissioner, called us up last night after reading the editorial yesterday and told us about this tract. Seems he and his partner in the real estate business at one time planned to buy it, but decided it was too hilly to successfully be cut up into building lots, “But it will make an ideal site for your park,” said Paul. We hurried out to look it over. And found a wonder- ful site. One trip down the valley and we were sold. It’s everything that a playground for the people || should be.

EDITOR'S NOTE—Stur readers who have read with delight the humor and philosophy of Jim Marshall, Star feature writer, will remem- ber frequent references to “the little woman.” The little woman is getting even today. Tomorrow is Dad's day and, without the knowl edge of Dad Marshall, she has written this tribute to her husband, It won't be very healthy around this office for the editor when Jim sees this. By Peggy Marshall UNDAY is Dad's In‘this house preparations have been made for its observance. A very gay tie and some cigars, none too good, perhaps, are at this moment reposing in the small son's dresser. They will be presented at the proper time and Dad will smile his apprecia- } tion and say just three words: “Thank you, Son.” Most dads aren't effusive, This one certainly isn't. But his family understands and he knows it. Because ever since the family can remember, Dad has been the same—never saying much, but in count less little ways that others would never think of, ever and always showing his appreciation and affection, Long, long ago, when the boy was Very small, Dad went to war. Nobody knows how Dad managed it on a sergeant’s pay, but there were quantities of telegrams and gifts for the rest of the family from Texas, New York and France. Dad didn't say, but his family knew that he was trying to keep it cheered and happy during the tong months of waiting. HN one day he came home, He was awfully thin and he didn't ae much like the laughing boy-dad who had kissed his family good-bye two years before. But of course he wouldn't talk about what he had been thru, He just commenced showing all the lovely things he had brought from Gibraltar, where tho insurance sign should be, and isn't, and from New York and all along the way Things were very different with the rest of the The boy thought it was a wonderful thing, having around the house. Those who have never had a Dad go can't fully realize all that it meant, H pelled the heavy stillness that had formerly been a part of the home 4 stillness that hurt most at “lamplighting time.” Kor Dad used to hold the boy in his arms evenings and sing all the ola war ballads, Some folks might not understand the pleasure that this afforded everybody, but Caruso at his best had nothing on Dad as a singor, the family thought, And when his Voice grew tired, or he ran out of songm it was lovely Just to sit qulet in the cool dusk % (Lurn to Page 2, Colump 8) | mily from then 1 Dud rambling on ay—and then come back— utomatically dis.
