Public Recreation Playgrounds Are Helping
To Reduce Juvenile Delinquency In the U. S.
NEW YORK, Apr. 15.—Organized
playgrounds in American cities meas
ureably reduce juvenile delinquency
and save crime bills, according to
the Playground and Recreation Asso
ciation of America, and cities in the
United States and Canada, during
1924. expended $20,052,55S for public
recreation. The year book ot the
association, issued today, says this
sum is $6,000,000 greater than last
year’s, and is 14 times the expendi
ture 15 years ago. A total of 711 cit
ies reported organized recreation.
The swiftly growing popularity of
public recreation is due largely to
the recognition of decreased delin
quency, the association says, and de
veloping this theme the year book
declares that the reduction in Schen
ectady, New York, was 69 1-2 per
cent in six wards w'hich contain half
the city’s population, according to
the judge of the juvenile court. In
Los Angeles the operation of a play
ground under able leaders in a dif
ficult district reduced delinquency
from 100 cases to three in a year’s
time. After 1,000 New Haven boys
were organized into an amateur
baseball league by New Haven Com
munity Service, arrests for delin
quency which had numbered 67 in
this group, fell to one in the year
following the formation of the league.
Organized celebrations practically
eliminated Hallowe’en vandalism and
mischief in many cities, the statis
tics show.
One hundred thirty-two athletic
fields were opened in 1924 for the
f;
fiist time. There are also 359 new
tennis courts, 281 new quoit courts,
and 146 new ball fields. Tennis
courts in 410 cities total 4,865. Nu
merous other facilities include 626
swimming pools and 1,092 picnic
grounds.
Corporal Adolph Fitz of Company
G, Seventh infantry, and Private W
B. Knight of Fairbanks, left on the
Northwestern for Fort Lawton, hav
ing in custody Private Gail R. Knight,
U. S. Signal Corps, formerly in charge
of the station at Ruby, who was re
cently arrested by the military author
ities for alleged embezzlement. Cor
poral Fitz will be discharged upon his
i arrival at Fort Lawton.
Those who attended the show last
night were well repaid for time and
money, for it was unusually good. A
real drama of life full of comedy. We
i saw ourselves as others see us. “Six
' Cylinder Love” was the feature—how
i many people right in this town have
the same weaknesses. It is the same
show tonight and if you want to enjoy
yourself, go.
The steamship Starr is expected to

DEERING COUPLE
M AKE LONG TRIP
TO REACH COAST
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Magids, who
arrived in Seward Saturday from Deer
ing, a small settlement of about 60
whites and a number of Eskimo, 150
miles north of Nome, left yesterday
on the Northwestern, en route to the
States, where Mr. Magids goes to re
plenish his stock for the many mer
cantile establishments operated by
him in the Second division.
Mr. and Mrs Magids left Deering
about the middle of March, and drove
to Nome, where after a few days rest
they mushed to Ruby, and thence up
the Yukon to Nenana. The trail was
in bad shape in spots and poor time
was made the flrst part of the trip,
but after leaving Ruby they found a
splendid trail to Tanana, thence tak
ing the road to Nenana. They ran
into some extreme cold weather on
the way out, but both Mr. and Mrs. (
Magids said they enjoyed every min- f
ute of the time, and both looked to be |
in excellent health despite their 800
mile journey.
At Anvik Mr. Magids and wife stop
ped over night and state that Dr.
Chapman, the reverend missionary at
that place was doing much for the
natives. The new sawmill taken in
a year or so ago has been erected and
is turning out some excellent lumber.
The natives are building many motor
boats, the old skin boat being almost
entirely discarded. Mr. Magids said
that our old friend, Frank Ferguson,
of Shangnuk was in the pay and had
taken out much money last season.
The Fergusons and their big husky
sons, are located at Shangnuk, where
a general store and sawmill is run.
They were in execellent health at the
close of navigation last year.
Considerable dredge work is being
done on the many creeks around Mr.
Magid’s district, and he looks for a
good season. They will take the Vic
toria back to Nome on her first trip
north.
Mr. P. J. Hussey, a local artist, has
presented the Seward schools with a
fine painting of Mt. McKinley, done
by himself. The picture is hanging in
the local school rooms.
The Sea Maid and Young America
took on oil at the Standard dock this
week.
Bud Dwyer left’ on yesterday's boat
for Knight’s Island where he will work
in the tie camp.
The local post of the American Le
gion sent a telegram to the Territorial
legislature today protesting against
any amendment1 being made to the
Grier literacy bill.
