Movement Started For Public Park and Playground.

At the regular monthly meeting of the teachers of the Presbyterian Sunday school, the subject “Social Service and the Sunday School,” was discussed by J. H. Holden. It was suggested that an effort be made by a united effort of all the Sunday schools in town to crystallze the existing sentiment for a supervised public park and playground, to be owned and operated by the city. The first step toward a movement in this direction was the appointment by Mayor C. G. Spitler of the following committee to secure the co-operation of the other churches. The committee was J. C. Parrett, Mrs. John I. Gwin, J. H. Holden.
