‘NO FEES--N 0 POOLS IN '32,' ! WARNS SALLEE " * Park Board Must Charge, Asserts City Park Superintendent. Elimination of fees charged for swimming at municipal pools, as advocated by several civic groups, might result in the park board being forced to close the pools next year, for lack of funds, A. C. Sallee, city park superintendent, said today. ‘ Faced with the demand for more pools in different sections of the city the park board is handicapped by the new state law preventing a budget increase for the next two years,” said Sallee. - ‘Next year the board will have certain unusual expenses, including the .replacement of some park equipment which is wearing out, and this must be allowed for. "Operation of the pools costs in excess of $15,000 for the ten weeks the pools are open each summer. From returns of the first week pools were in operation, it is probable about SIO,OOO will be returned to the board in fees, leaving a deficit, of only about $5,000." Divided Report Ready In the meantime, a committee of the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs, which is investigating advisability of charging fees at pools, is preparing to return a divided report at the federation meeting Friday night. A majority of the committee, according to W. T. Quillen, favors abandonment of the charge for swimming, holding it is against public policy and that there is some question as to the legal standing of such a charge. Quillen said his views were sustained by two other committee members, Mrs. William E. Hyer and John Hoff. John F. White and William Bosson, the other two members, favor admitting children under 14 to pools free of charge at all times, but favor a charge for adults, White said. Under a park board ruling, pools and beaches are free to bathers from 9 a. m. to 12 noon, no locker or towel charge made to children during these hours. From 12 to 5 p. iru, daily, except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, the pool charge is 10 cents for both adults and children. The pool charge from 12 to 5 p, m. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays and daily from 5 to 9 p. m. is 2p cents. No Charge Is Made No swimming charge is made at the beaches or. at Willard park pool, which is for children only. Last year no fee was charged for swimming at any of the pools. Without any fee, park board members claim, the pools would be so filled with children, who would start in the- morning and remain nil day, that-no one could swim because of the crowd. This was demonstrated last year, they say. In" addition, they point out, the health board has advised that it is harmful to children to remain in the water more than a few hours a day.'--' . \\ Possibility of making a straight 10-cent charge after 12 noon may be discussed as an answer to protests over -the fees, when the park board meets Thursday afternoon, it was indicated today. Mdny- complaints have been received by park officials from parents' Os large families, who say they would like to accompany their children to pools when they are off work at night, but are prevented from doing so by the prohibitive night fee. PAGEANT IS POSTPONED AT CHRISTIAN PARK Chrotoicle of Historical Events to Be Presented Next Sunday. Aii outdoor pageant which was scheduled at Cnristian park for last Sunday, was postponed because of weather until next Sunday. The .pageant is a chronicle of his-torical-events in Indiana leading up td the .giving of the lands of Christian park to the children of the city. More than 300 children and adults will take part. Hilton U. Brown will take the part of the government agent who gave the land grant to the original owner, Thomas Moore. A group of organizations which have co-operated in making the performance possible are the Christian Park Civic League, Christian Park women's Club, public school, chorus, Irvington Legion post and Irvington Business Men’s Association. ARMY FLIERS TO ‘WAR’ C. M. T. C. Boys to Witness Mimic Air Battle at Ft. Harrison. Mimic aerial warfare will be staged this afternoon for C. M. T. C. candidates at Ft.

Borne aloft with the regimental colors, it participated in fifty battles and skirmishes. After the Civil war, it returned to Wisconsin and became an honorary charge of the state. It died in 1881 and its stuffed body is one of the war relics of the state of Wisconsin.

GAMES ENTERTAIN SMALLER CHILDREN

Playground Program Affords Fun for All Ages; Stories Told. While baseball is the most important sport to older children of the city .playgrounds, the small children must be taken care of and amused at the same time. This job in the city recreation program is in charge of Ruth Emhardt, supervisor, who has had that work for several years, and Clifford Courtney, director of athletics for juniors at Park school. New games for smaller children are introduced and explained each week by Courtney at the weekly meeting of all instructors of the city. Grounds are supplied with soc-

Fall Creek, Rader and Udell, Thirteenth and Ashland and Twentyfirst and Illinois. The juniors will open their season July 7 and teams will play every Tuesday and Thursday at 2. Last year’s winners in the various leagues were Rhodius. Riley. Finch, Brightwood and Willard, but no team has been able to uproot Brightwood as champions for the five years of the organization’s existence.

FRENCH WOMAN UNDAUNTED BY FALLING WALLS Sticks to Her Corset Shop; As Site Is Cleared for ‘Radio City/ BY DEXTER H. TEED, NEA Service Writer. NEW YORK. June 24.—Like the remnant of a shelled cathedral, a five-story brick building still stands in the “no-man’s land” of demolition in West Fiftieth street where engines of destruction are clearing the way for the $250,000,000 "Radio City.” With a roar and a crash, great walls are toppling to earth nearby. Steam shovels tear great holes in the ground. Many men. armed with destroying implements, attack and raze old structures. The din is terrific. Within that remaining building, on the second floor, Madame Pierre, corsetierre, holds the fort, despite the bombardment without. She’s Unperturbed “You should wear a girdle, yes, like thees,” she says calmly in her French accent as she fits “body gloves” to some rotund figure. Outside, her "enemies” lay down a barrage that- shakes the very . foundations —as if in mockery, Madame Pierre is not perturbed. She won't move until her lease expires. “No, no,” she says excitedly. “My business, three years eet is here. Sometimes—you should see —the place ees filled. Many fine ladies come for fittings. Ah, eet it bad.” The construction company announces that Madame Pierre has been offered as much as $30,000 to move out, as the other tenants have, so that the building can be _ torn down. They say she demands $70,000. She says, however, that she would move for $40,000 —If it were offered. Only Remaining Tenant XTie lease is due to expire in November. But meanwhile tearing down all the buildings in the , three-square block area between Forty-eighth and Fifty-first from Fifth to Sixth avenues has gone forward at a tremendous pace. The brick structure in which Madame Pierre holds forth is the only oasis in the desert of debris. Like other persons who have stubbornly resisted the encroachments of progress, she is utterly disdainful. She isn't afraid, she says, not even with the great name of Rockefeller and millions of dol- . lars backing the project. Woman Kills Large Snake ' By Times Special NOBLESVILLE, Ind., June 24.—• When Mrs. D. W. Murray, living in the riortheastern part of Hamilton county, started down steps at • the kitchen door of her home to ' feed chickens, she observed a large blacksnake. She killed the snake with a hoe. It measured six feet in length and three inches in diameter.
