The kiddies have been re- quested to be on time. as the suc- cess of the parade depends upon them. - The opening exercises have been made short and simple purposely. They willbe opened by the flag raising. which will be followed by the pledge of allegiance to the flag. The children will then join in recit- ing the Playground Pledge": I will not swear on the Playgound. I will not steel. or destroy Public Prop- erty. I will play fair and be truth- ful.

It is intended to make the formal opening of the playgrounds an an- nual affair. and it is hoped that the first will be so successful that its repetition will he demanded next year. Everyone is invited to attend the event. ......- LUCY MOND BREAKS LEG, RUN "DOWN BY CAR Child Jumps From Ice Wa- gon In Path Of William Rosenthal’s Machine—Is ' . Deaf Mute. ..
