The fact was revealed Tuesday, when he was asked by a Times reporter what the percentage of accidents at local playgrounds and swim pools was this year, as com-* pared with last year. Leaning forward. Middiesworth rapped his hand three times on his desk, and replied, "not nearly as many accidents this year.” Later, when asked - f there had been any serious accidents at the pools or ground. Middiesworth said, "none at all.' and then, remembering his superstition, jerked forward, rapped the desk with both hands, and said, “none yet.”

SEPT, 4 WILL BE FINAL DAY FOR PLAY LOTS Thirty-Seven Grounds Are Operated in City Dur--9 ing Summer. Playgrounds throughout the City will close Sept. 4. Labor Day, according to announcement Tuesday by H. w Middlesworth, city recreation director. Some of the grounds may close Wednesday, Aug. 30. according to Middlesworth. but will be held open to the last day if possible, depending on the amount of money left in the recreation budget by that date. Only thirty-seven grounds were operated in the city this year, a* against forty-two last year. Attendance was higher at all grounds. The self-government system inaugurated this year at all grounds, following a cut of almost 50 per cent in the recreation staff of matrons and instructors, proved successful. according to Middlesworth, and will be continued next year. Programs Not Curtailed Through the system, a group of children was appointed each week at th? ground, and aided the matron or instructor in keeping the grounds clean, and keeping order among the child visitors. Despite the cut in staff. Middlesworth said, the programs at the parks and playgrounds were not curtailed, and many activities were carried throughout the summer. Activities included track meets, baseball, annual Negro and white pageants, handicraft work, water polo, swimming meets, and the July 4 pageant presented at Butler bowl with the Sahara Grotto fireworks display. No rites or trouble were recorded at any of the grounds this summer, and only a few annoyers were chased by park police. Much vandalism at the grounds at night was the worse trouble of the year. Middlesworth said. Accidents Are Fewer Accidents at playgrounds and swimming pools were fewer this year than ever before, according to Middlesworth. who attributed this to the safety work given by Sergeants Frank Owen and Tim McMahon of the police accident prevention bureau, who worked with the recreation department. The swimming events were carried out in better style than ever before, through co-operation of Indianapolis chapter, American Red Cross.
