NOT 10 K SUPPRESSION' HUT
TO HKIjP.
AN0THI5K OIil SKTTL1IH AKSlVtillS
Till: LAST CALL SUNDAY.
Tho following statement hua boon
prepared by tho Publicity Committee!
of tho Public Wolfaro Association as'
wie of a number of statements which
will tend to put tho Association in tho
right light' bofore tho people. The
statement follows:
Somo of tho citizens seem to havo
tho errouoous Impression that this Is
an association of suppression, to
eloso up tho dances and plcturo shows.
This Is si mistaken Idea as tho Public
Wolfaro Association Is for Ui,q help of
tho community, and not to curtail and
suppress .
"When tho Public Wolfaro Associa
tion tells .tho danco manager how ho
must conduct his danco, It Is for tho
protection of tho boys and girls who
go. It Is thoalm of tho Public Welfare
Association to help and promote and
not to doprlvo tho public of tho a
rausemonts thoy wish. Tho dcslro of
tho Welfaro Association Is to protect
1ho public from tha things that havo
u tendency to lesson tho standard ot
theso amusements.
Tho Public "Wolfaro Association has
promoted tho swimming pool propo
sition and wo aro now assured of a
swimming pool second to none in the
stato, with sanitary drainage and a
pravel beach equal to tho seashore.
Plans aro being mado for bathhouses,
also a pavilion whore lunches can be
eaten. Particular plans havo been
mado in order to Becuro sanitation and
drainage, and this, together with tho
lack of finances has dolayed Its com
pletion. But this coming summor will
soo tho swimming pool ready for use.
