I that everybody In thU community are In favor of the necessary improvements at the City Park and Playmaklcg ground, and the opportune time to put this project over is during the early spring, when the farm work is not urgent. We believe Everybody appreciates the opportunity we have for a real park and playground, that la practical from every phase of community life. We all feel that the only thing that Is needed is for someone to take the lead, and tell us when and how fo put this project over. As a suggestion, we feel that all the clubs and organizations of this community should look over their members, and select one that Is willing to contribute some time to this worthy project, and this member meet with all other representatives from the various clubs and select a committee who will organize and put over this much needed improvement. The committee could use the people of the city, where the individuals would best fit in to put the work over. DR. T. W.
