CHASEY PENS STIRRING EDICT ON ARBOR DAY Poetic Proclamation Is Issued, With Leslie’s Named Signed. Spring, with its centuries-old power to turn young men’s fancies thither and yon, has had a strange effect in the Governor's office. Governor Harry G. Leslie is ayachtlng in southern climes, in a more modest style than his friend, President Hoover. Meanwhile, upon the Governor’s secretary, L. O. Chasey, fell the Job of writing the proclamation designating April 10 as Arbor day. jChasey’s authorship is not a matter of record. He signed Leslie's name to it. Thrill of Open Spaces The stirring thrill of the open spaces as the trees begin to bud and the birds to sing is encompassed in the proclamation. Too, the great value of trees against drought (on the heels of a dry winter and summer), their value as nesting places for the singing birds and the value of the lumber for nesting human birds are set out at great length. Read it:

"In the plant kingdom there is no nobler specimen of creative handiwork than a tree. Whether it be a tiny shrub stunted and dwarfed by Arctic snow and polar winds or giant Sequoia reaching toward heaven in beautiful symmetry and majesty, we are impressed with its usefulness to man and its universal value in the scheme of nature. Designates Arbor Day "Its climbing roots stay the erosion of our hillsides, its leaves for a covering that arrests the rush of floods and minimizes the menace of drought. “Its trunk provides innumerable articles, comforts of modern life .from stationery to home, the nesting place of birds and the home of wild denizens of the forest. "The tree is the embodiment of God’s goodness to man. “Modern civilization and man’s extravagance make a besom of destruction in the forests of every land. Sensing the necessity of trees in the very existence of society, our legislature has designated the second Friday in April as Arbor day.’* I

pool and to be charged by concession holders, were announced today by the park board. Although no fees have been charged for use of the pools in the past, a small sum will be charged part of the day during the coming season with hopes that it will defray the operating costs, A. C. Sallee, superintendent of parks, said today. Much criticism was caused last summer by action of concessionaires in forcing children and adults to pay checking lees whether they checked clothing or not. Each day between 9 a. m. and 12 noon, persons may use the pools and enjoy checking priveleges at no cost, Sallee said. No fee will be charged at any time for swimming in the river at

the Twenty-sixth street beach, and clothes will be checked free between 9 a. m. and 12 noon. Fee of 10 cents to swim in the pools will be charged between noon and sp. m. Concession holders will be allowed to charge 10 cents for checking clothes, but persons will be allowed to use the pools whethei they check or not, if they pay the 10-cent fee, Sallee said. Objections were raised last year to persons walking from their automobiles to the pools clad only in bathing suits, he said. Park board members, according to Sallee, feel a suit that is not fit to wear from the automobile to the pool is unfit for wear in the pool. Board members recognize that many persons clad in robes and raincoats ride to the pools in their

automobiles and do not want the bother of checking their clothing. This will be tolerated, but the board will not permit promenading through the streets ot parks by persons clad only in bathing suits, Sallee said. Concession holders will be permitted to charge up to 25 cents for the rental of a bathing suit and 5 cents for the rental of a towel. It was tentatively agreed Thursday that 20-cent fees should be charged persons who use the pools after 5 p.m. and on Saturday afternoons and Sundays, all other fees to remain the same. It is possible a straight 10-cent fee will be charged at all times, he said. Children not accompanied by parents will not be allowed to swim alter 5 p. m. Establishment of a fee system

was agreed upon, Sallee said, because of the heavy cost of water for the pools, purifying it and changing it often enough to make it absolutely safe. In many other cities having municipal water works, charges from 15 to 25 cents are levied for

use of pool with no free use at ail, Sallee said. “We realize we have several types to satisfy, and we are merely trying to establish a system fair to all,” he said. The board felt that swimming pools, like golf courses, should be self-supporting. Sallee said.
