Beckstead Kiwanis Luncheon Monday In this city there appear to be a community project that of every man. woman and warrants the support and This project, child who lives within the bounds of Nephl City. when completed would be a cndit to thl or any other community, and would be a source of satisfaction to all of the Nephl people. The beautifhation of "THE NEPHI CITY PARK AND PLAYGROUND" is the project. ThU project was first undertaken some forty years ago, and since that time a great amount of work haa been done at various times, but even with all the labor that has been done, there is still a lot of work needed to complete this project and make an ideal park and ilayground. Emll Hansen, landscape gtrdener from the Utah Agricultural College, has drawn a map ot the park and playground, and if tun plans are followed out. the entire stretch of ground between the Central school and the Nephl blub school will be utilized for either a park or for various playground apparatus. Mr. Hansen drew plana for a large outdoor swimming pool, two tennis courts, area for playground equipment, baseball diamonds for boys. In addition to the playgrounds he has designated an area to be planted into lawn, where a bandstand will be built. There is certainly a need of a place in Nephl to hold outdoor gatherings where band concerns can be held, and where the people can get together for a Jollification of any kind. During the past few years. If our townspeople desired to even hold small outdoor gatherings, which were too larj-- for their own lawn, they must go to the canyon. By having a desirable park this would not be necessary. To prove this point all one would have to do is go to Payson on a Sunday afternoon or evening, there can be found what a desirable place a city park is on a summer day. If this work was completed and the necessary equipment furnished, it would be a gathering place for the young boyg and girls of the city, where they could either play tennis, baseball, or other games they desire. Wouldn't it be better to have the boys and girls of this community assembled at a recreational area, than riding around in automobiles or on the streets of our city? Isn't it worth while for each man and boy to put his shoulder to the wheel and help finish the work that has been started at this park? The people of Nephl are a class of people who in the past hare responded to any call that has been worthy of their support. And In all earnestness, I think the completing of the park and playground is one of the most vital things that will make for a better community, and I ask that the people of this city organize themselves for this worthy community undertaking contest.
