LIOIES OF CIVIC
CLUB MIKE APPEAL
The ladies of the Reese Park Civic
(Club have begun in earnest to have
(some favorable action taken by the
“City Fathers” to preserve the historic
Reese Park as the playground of the (
“children and tots.” And to this end
they are once more starting their cam- ,
,paign to insist that council take some
decided stand in regard to this matter. ‘
The following letter was received
from this progressive club Saturday,
and the poem given here was enclosed
with the letter:

Dear Mr. Wililams:
We send you a small contribution
from a fellow sympathizer. If conven

giving it a place of prominence in Sun
day’s issue of the Times-Recorder.
Verry truly,

“REESE PARK.”
Put Taylor street is a little old park,
Where screams the jay and chirps the
lark;
[Where grow the grass, the brambles
and trees,
’And the children enjoy the nice sum
mer breeze.

more
