Shall We INcjslcrt? There has long been much tall; of and more or less interest in a movement for a playground in Elizabeth City; but somehow or other the movement has never got anywhere. Mrs. II. G. Connor, Jr., of Wil son, who is chairman of com munity service under the civ ics department of the State Federation of Woman's Clubs, is urging the club women of Elizabeth City to look into the matter of provid ing a permanent playground now, before the best available sites in the city for such a play ground are over-run by the bu siness or residential growth of the city. Another reason for prompt action is that towns of 15,000 or under are now offered aid for this purpose by the Har mon foundation, but thi3 offer is withdrawn after .March 1, 1924 Mrs. Connor thus explains the what, the where and the when of the Harmon offer: Where? Any growing town or city ID the United States whose population is less than 15,000, where there is a responsible organization such as a woman's club. "What?" Setting aside land in perpetuity for recreational purposes only. "Why?" Ground that may now be secured for playgrounds at a small figure may soon become too I valuable because of its demand in ; business enterprises. Moreover, the Harmon Foundation .of New York, recognizing the need for a future at - j tltude in the matter of recreation 1 fields, offers to co-operate in the ac quisition of permanent play land in communities where real interest has been aroused. "When?" Now. Until March 1. 1924, the Harmon Foundation, *140 Nassau Street, New York City, of-! fers to contribute up to. 20 per cent of the purchase price as the final payment for land that is to be deed ed forever as recreation ground. This is a special inducement madej te *the Federation of Women's Clubs by the Division of Playgrounds of the Foundation in order lo stimulate Interest in directed play on perma nent ground in growing communi ties. It strikes The Advance that here is a matter that should ap peal to the interest that always maniftsts itself in Elizabeth City whenever the playground subject bobs up and, perhaps under such leadership as the Elizabeth City Woman's Club is capable oT, this interest might now be translated into substantial form. We are doing a great deal of talking about city planning, and though, as yet, the talk, for reasons best known to members of the City Council, has failed to produce a planning commission, every indication points to the crea tion of such a commission at ?ome comparatively early date. Now Elizabeth City, thanks to private generosity, has a bathing beach within easy reach of its paved streets, but no one konws how long this site will be available for such a purpose. In seasons past, thanks again to private generosity, Elizabeth City has NORFOLK PRODUCE At Jarvls A Feutrent A? Roportfd By BPKXCK . HOf.liOWKIJ, C" l.hr.

Looking toward in crease in loud values in growing towns, the Harmon Foundation hus developed two plans of cooperation in the acquisition of recreation land in communities under 15,000, where a responsible and permanent organi zation realizes the need lor play ground development, und takes the initiative in securing and equipping suitable ground. FirBt, the special offer which is now open untl March 1, 1924. In order to stimulate community in-1 terest in the permanent playground the Harmon Foundation offers to1 contribute 25- per cent of the pur chase price as final payment for land lo be. used perpetually as a play ground in any growing town under | lti.uoo population where u responsi ble organization realizes the need of 1 | setting aside land for. such purpoties | only, and wiir foster a plan not only | [(or the-pureltuse. but its maintenance uh a play place or recreation field. 1 The mximum contribution to any j community will be $1,000, and as' the appropriation of the Foundation I to cover such help Is limited, appli cations will bo considered in the or-1 der of their receipt.
