READ, MANAGING DAILY TIDINGS O U T Q l IP W A Y A Time For I/cveUreadedsew Playgrounds In this time when young people here in Ash­ land- and everywhere else are taking up out door sports a^uip, we should consider whether our com­ munity is doing all it can to develop them through playgrounds and organized p|ay. This jpovement H rs bad r wondorfpl develop­ ment In New York state alone, there were two years ago 888 playgrounds and community centers. Ope phase of the movement Js the effort fpr laws requiring physical education and 32 states now have suéh laws. .. . . The need for playgrounds is obvious with mod­ ern antompttle traffic. Formerly clpldreR played ( q the s t r e » . Now the streets are no place for them to play. Baek yards are not much available ym » ’’ as people dislike to have their turf trodden over and such groupds are not usually big enough for organized games. A playground js not merely R pjacp where children can play securely, bnt under proper in­ struction, it can lie made a place where they leayn to play games according to rules. The result is that they will fie likely to oljey the laws of the land when they grow up. A well regulated playground is the best an­ tidote for the crime wave, Jt is not likely thqt many of the young bandits who are terrorizing people on city »streets and lonely roads, ever had g chanca for training on a gopd playground. If they had, they would have gained a oonteippt for yellow conduct. They would have learned that it la batter to lose a game, than fo show a moan spirit That lesson would have sent them out into the world dmiring fo «bow good sportamRUsbip, and a good feport never becomes a brirainal. )f a cjty does not provide adequate playgrounds, it should add to its police forces, and it is likely to provide tenants “A wan owes it to hi« wifa to provide his homi equipment as modern as that in his offioo—‘ Jertainly, Start l»er off ihU spring with jt nite set of garden tools.

It is a tima to be level-headed under any and all conditions. Oorrespondentg are but human. They uaoonseionsly show their leanings according to their sympathies. This fact, flavored with Occi­ dental prijle and racial distinction, possibly may make many people understand the true situation. It is to be hoped that- should the awful eventual­ ity arise whereby the United States Great Britain, or both are drawn into general conflict^ the people of these nations will keep thgir heads level. War is bad enough- without inflaimng the minds o f our- citizens with false stogies of alleged atrocities pf- tl\e Chinese. No donbt many of the Chinese are wicked, bad, brutal and revengeful. We know that some among them are of good intent. Surely the decades of missionary work have nqt all been in vainj But it is well known that despite the alleged depraved acts of German soldiers during the World War, thousands of Ameriean and British soldiers will testify to the manliness and even kind treat­ ment shown them by the sons of German, sojh 1 There is no greater weapon than the word atrocity” to incite and keep aflame international hatred; and this weapon should be used, if pt all, only when the whole truth and only the truth can be told. The fate of our nation with reference to China lies greatly upon the shoulders of the press correspondents, because thè human element is ever present. Thpre is no more disturbing element in all «war psychology” than enmity placed between brothers of thè earth by blundering falsehood. l e t the truth be spoken and written no mat­ ter who it hits. If there iaan y good in China, we want to know about it. If there is any delay in pro- ign lives and property we want to We if there is any undue activity pr hard- t a race or nation that is tryiug to find ■ its factional di vici on and lack of unity/ s, we should want to see the strong grin n stayed until it irfust strike only to pre- sjrve nnman rights and. national honor.

W A S H IN G TO N — Chinese are such rabid movie fans that force is sometimes re­ quired to prevent them from doing violence to an unpopu­ la r actor or villain In the scenario, says C. J.
