Show WHO OWNS THE PARKS? As spring comes on and the days grow longer and warmer the parks once more loom large in the life of dwellers in brick and asphalt. In a certain instinctive fashion people peo-ple are thankful for the parks and enjoy them. But do we ever think of them in just tho right way? Do wo over consider con-sider the lawns an'd trees and shrubbery shrub-bery and lakes as what they really are our own property, to be valued and cared for with as much Interest and attontion as ho vegetables in tho back yard or the box of nasturtiums on the window sill at home? Have we not rather a feeling that after all these parks are something remote, related re-lated vaguely to "tho city" something some-thing to be trodden on and romped over and torn to pieces because they belong to no one in particular? |
