”LEOS FOR LT PRAYER”
To the patrons of Palmer Territorial School:
A prominent religious leader once said,
”1 believe in putting legs on r;y prayers.”
It is reported that some of you are pray
ing for better conditions for your children.
If that be true, why not put your prayers on
le gs ?
Next nonth. our annual school election
will bo helii. At that time you "ill select
to represent you individuals who can qo
sove tb inm
the:/ will.

Just praying for "improvement in gen 3 ral
will net be sufficient.; You must be speci
fic. You must-know- 'the- kind of improvement
yon desire and you must convey your particu
lar \ ish to the one you intend to have exe
cute it.
Patrons, I am asking; that you fix a part
of your attention upon the playground equip
ment of your school. It is a disgrace to the
school. It is a disgrace to our community.
It is a hazard and a liability to our child
ren. Former school boards permitted it to
get in this conaition. The present school
board has permitted it to remain in this
condition.
Board members are not the only guilty in
dividuals. Cne year ago playground equip
ment was being discussed by the- P-TA. * The
Commissioner of education had made available
via the local school board, v-2b0. This
was for playground equipment, -subject to
use, provided the patrons of Palmer school
would match it with an equal amount.
The P-TA was $bout ^30 short in February
of 1948. At that/time I offered to <produce
the balance if; given assurance that the full
„5500 would'- be used for playground equipment.
The assurance was withheld. The -jS50 from
Juneau reverted back. The playground equip
ment regained as it is nov.r, a menace to
child life.
My prayer, then
and. nov;, is for ^ood
and safe’ playground
equ ipre nt. But wh o ,
fellow patrons, who
among you have legs
on which I may confi
dently place this
prayer at the coning
school election? Legs
wh ich will do nore
than support a prom
ise before election?
Legs which will exe
cute a promise after
election?
