P, .Taekson, d istrict representative of the Com m u n ity Service, gave the best argu- m e p ts in favor of supervised play grounds th a t has yet been presented in th is city, and it is to be regretted th a t th e re was not a larger andience, to h e a r them . W ith th e present di vision of our days into S hours each fo r work, sleep and reereation. nearly everyone belongs to the so-called, leis u re clas.s, and the way th a t Uusuro th ird of t h e day is s p e n t have a great effect on th e life and m o rals of a com m u n ity. Tn the case of children. Who arc form ing the ch a racter th a t shall determ ine th e ir conduct in later yearSj it Is m o s t im p o rt.ant th a t the h o u rs of play shall be u n d e r the right supervision. The hom e influences m ay he all th a t could he. desired, and at school th e ir activities are properly di- i-ected, but they should not be turned loose to spend their recreational hours w ithout any thought of the habits the.v m ay be form ing. D u ring the late w a r statisticians figured out t h a t every ma,n taken into th e service was w o r th .$7,000 to the com m u n ity in which he lived, and evei’y hoy was w o rth $3,000. A little arith m e tical ca.lculation will dem o n strate just how large an psset we have here in P o r t .Tervls in the s h a p e of our young people, who are to carry 071 the affairs of tlio city in future years. W ith m en and wom en oi' a, political eciual- ily today, the same value in dollars applies to gii’ls as to boys, and the playtim e of both should be so directed as to develop (hem physically and m o rally fo r good citizenship. The value of a director of play was strongly em p h a sized by Mr. .Taekson, who stated from m a n y years of ob servation of recreational e.fforts in other cities, th a t as between a ' b are field w ith a com p e tent supervisor and a playground full of equipm e n t with no director, the formci- would produce far b e tter results and would he the one the children would fi-equent. W. TT. C h ant, president of the C h a m b e r of Commerce, stated th a t th a t organization w o u ld do all it could to help the movem ent, and he would iiring the m a tter before th e directors at their next m eeting. A. H. N a y lor told of w h a t the Playground Association had alread.v done as a start, and .said the Port .Tervis R o tary Club would also stand liehind th e w o rk, as it was distinctly in line with the ideals of R o ta ry. E.arly in Ma.v, afte r the Com m u n ity Service representative gets here, com m ittees will bo appointed and ac tive w o rk begun. It is predicted th a t the supervised playground is m erely a start, and th a t opportunities for other com m u n ity service will develop (h a t will continue the year round.

The vi.sit of K ing Oon.stantine to the front has been abandoned for the present and the calling of th ree addi tional classes to th e colors has been postponed, probably due to lack of proper equipm ent.
