The playgrounds finance commitv

G. V. Buchanan. superintendent
of public schools of Norwalk. has
sent to The Sentinel the following
abstract from an address made by
the late President Harding, on the
need of recreation:
“The vital basic importance of
playing is now quite generally ap-
preciated. Play is the sculptor
which shapes the life of the child.
He confides his dreams to play and
becomes what his play is. This is
also true enough of adu.ts to make
us seriously concerned for the rec-
reational life of America. “lo must
make playflme of all children an
the free time of all the rest of us,

Calls Modern Tim e s
- Far Better Than Xe
Olden Days— Says
We’re Speedy, Even
In Marriage -
The annual meeting of the Nor-
walk Union of The King's Daugh-
ters and Sons was held yesterday at
the South Norwalk Congregational
Church. It was a very enthusiastic
gathering which met to hear re-
ports of the work accomplished dur-
ing the past year. and to enjoy the
very excellent program provided by
the Arrangements Committee.
It is estimated that there were
over 500 men and women present.
Those who attended gave great
credit to Mrs. Robert F. Way for
the splendid manner in which the
program of the afternoon was car-
ried out.
From 2:30 to 3 o'clock Archibald
Merriman gave a. fine organ're-
cital.
The devotional exercises were led
by Rev. Lester T. Mallory of the
South Norwalk Baptist church. Miss
Helen O'Shea sang.
Mrs. Leo David, President of the
Norwalk Union. introduced the
speaker of the afternoon, Rev. John
L. Davis. .
Taking as his topic. “Tho'Dimen-
sions of Life." Mr. Davis said:
Modern Tm ,
“When we look back into the
past, we look into a very narrow
life. \Vhen we look forward. we
look toward expansion. Herodotus.
the famous Greek historian, once
informed his people that. the world
was an island 1,500 miles’ in diam-
eter, and that its knowldcgo could
be mastered in five years. Aristotle
said that there were only 500 kinds
of animals in the world. We now
know that there are 270,000 differ-
ent species. The, ancient Greeks be-
lieved that. the stars were only 75
miles away. and that one could count
them with the naked eye. They be-
lieved that they were lights hung on
a. dome. Now we realize that the
sun is 93,000,000 away. and our
nets.
"Just as we have expanded goo-
graphically. we have also expanded
socially and religiously. “'3 don’t
have to look back to remember
when a man voted the Democratic
ticket. or the Republican ticket.
Today we have a. large independent
vote. Thousands of our youngmeu
vote for men and principles regard—
less 0 party politics.
“ we don't have to look. far back
in history to find Christians killing
Jews and Jews killing Christians.
Catholics persecuting Protestants
and Protestants pcrsccuting Cathol-
ics. But now we are not so narrow
in our views. There was a. time
when if one church was not suc-
ceeding. it didn't want. to see any
other church succeed. Now each
church is glad to see others success-
ful. There is less interest in de-
nominations and more in religion.
When two ministers from different
churches met. rlhey used to say.
‘Now let's see. \Vhat is it we die-
agree on?’ Today they ask, "What
is it we agree on?’ " _
“lasted Energy.
In speaknig of the height and
depth of life, Mr. Davis said:
"Though methods have been de-
vised by which the depth of the
ocean can be sounded. no one can
know the depth of life. The per-
son has yet to live who has dem-
onstrated all the powers of the hu—
men mind of all the resources of
the human soul. Dr. Mayo says
that the average person uses only
23 per cent of his resources and
energy."
Dr. Davis, in discussing the length
of life said that he used to think
that Meihuselah lived a long time.
but “he now believes that men are
living longer than ever before." '
“in the past twenty years." he
continued. "five years have been
added to the length of the average
life. If we are not living longer
now than ever before, then what
good has all our science and hygiene
been to us.
"A person is old as soon as he
ceases to grow. So long as be con-
tinues to grow. he is young. Some
are old at twenty-five, others are
young at ninety. one who keeps
his mind open keeps young; one
who closes his mind is old.

can do more in a few weeks than
they could in years. Young boys
know more than the old men did in
ancient times. .

Large Gathering at?» _
King’s Daughters and
Sons _Annual Meeting
in the time taken to do things in
the past and now, Mr. Davis con-
trasted courtship of no longer ago
than colonial times. and of the
present day. “Let us imagine our-
selves back in colonial times," he
said. “A young man and a. young

‘You‘ve got my goat kid. Come on.
let's get spliced.’ So they go and
get married. And now one out of
every ten marriages ends in di-
vorce. We do things taster now-a.~
days."
Mr. Davis said in closing that
many persons had achieved great
things early in life. He cited a
number of interesting examples to
prove his point. and said that it is
now how long we live, but how we
live that matters—not how long we
live, but what we .think, and how
we act. while we do live.
- Reports.
Reports were heard from the presi
dent, Mrs. Leo Davis: the treasurer.
Mrs. John C. Merriman. and the

CLEAN SWEEP
Fine Cooperation From
Residents Reported
.By City Officials For
“Clean-up Week”
BEST ,EVER
Fire Chief Powell, Dr.
Perdue and Commis-
sioner Duffy Praise
Community’s Activi-
ties
"Norwaik is to be congratulated
upon the manner in which the peo-
ple have responded to the appeal
of ‘cleamup week'," declared Depu-
ty Fire Chief “’illiam J. Powell to-
day. “The firemen who are inspect-
ing the cellars in the First District
have found that the majority of the
cellars are just as clean as they
possibly can be. This means that
the fire hazards in this district will
be greatly reduced for the next
twelve months." .
"Before the end of the week, we
hope to have completed the inspec-
tion of all of the cellars of dwell-
ings and business places in the. dis-
trict. \Ve have met with a. splendid
response: practically all of the
householders expressing willingness
to cooperate when the purpose of
'clean-up week' is described."
Dr. Robert E. Perdue, health of-
ficer, also expressed his pleasure at
the response with which the 'clean-
up week' campaign is meeting.
"\Vhile I don‘t know just how
much extra material has been col-
lected. "said Dr. Perdue." I find that
nearly every house has more waste
material on the sidewalks waiting
collection than ever before. If the
response to the clean-up week cam-
paign continues. Norwalk will be a
cleaner. healthier, better city and
with a much lower fire hazard."
In his statement. Deputy Fire
Chief Powell also complimented the
school authorities upon the fine con-
dition of the schools. —
“The schools, particularly in the
collars and store-rooms, are in
good shape." said Mr. Powell.
Strcct Commissioner Dufiy said
this morning: "This is the best
clean-up week, that the city has
ever had. On Monday the Street
Department carted away 25 extra
loads ot‘garbage and on Tuesday 26.
We are receiving tine cooperation
from the firemen, who visit the
homes in the various districts and
tell the residents of clean-up week
and look over the cellars. The rec-
ord this year [ill be far ahead of
any of the previous clean up weeks."

Knows They’re in the

There .is a. good fish story going
the rounds in which Richard’ N.
Gustafson. deputy game warden, is
one of the principle character.
It was the close season‘ for black
bass and Gustafson was making the
rounds of the lakes and ponds.
On one of the ponds. Dick spot-
ted a fisherman in a boat.
"Well, what luck," inquired Dick.
"Pretty good. caught a. nice mess
of wlfite perch," replied the fisher-
marl.
“Got any bass?" inquired the de-
puty game warden not revealing his
identity.
"Nopef‘I
Just then Dick spotted a. piece of
string attached to a. bush on shore.
He pulled it in and found a nice,
three pound live black bass on the
end of it.
"What's this!" demanded Gustaf-
son.
“Black bass." replied the usher-
man.
“Who caught him?"
"I did.’
"Don't you know its the close sea-
son for bass.”
“Sure. but you know that darn
thing kept pestering me by biting
my bait that after I caught him a.
couple of times I tied him up to
keep him out of the way."
Dick knew enough was enough
