Springhouse  Union     Sunday
Last Thursday evening, the Ambler Advisory Council met to discuss plans for the opera¬ tion of the playgrounds for this year. The meeting was opened when Mr. A. Menna, thc direc¬ tor of the playgrounds for last year made a report of the act¬ ivities for last year.
It  was  reported  that  an  aver¬ age   of   350    children   used   the playgrounds daily. 225 boys were engaged   in   interplayground   ac¬ tivities  which  included  six  leag¬ ues   of   softball,   horseshoes   and quoits.   .There    were    72    league softball   games,   52   league   horse¬ shoe    matches,    and    52    league "quoit matches  which  totaled   176 interplayground   meets. j     The   topic   of   leaders   for   this year's playgrounds was then dis- j cussed and it was mentioned that I little or no help could be receiv- I ed from the W.  P.  A.  Education ! Recreation    Program    this    year i since    they    had    curtailed    that j project.
Mr.   Edward   Foulke   reported for the  Kiwanis Club Committee j for      Underpriveleged      Children ! had   decided   to   contribute   fifty i dollars   to  the   Advisory   Council ' in   lieu   of   furnLshing   a   leader I for   the   Mattison   Avenue   Play- |,ground for this year. This means that    the    Advisory    Council    ip faced with furnishing four or five leaders for the grounds this year. The   representatives   from   the local   organizations   were  present and  reported  that they are will¬ ing to supply the equipment for the  grounds  which  they  sponsor. The   next    matter    concerned    a imeans  of  raising  money for  the supervision   of   the   grounds.    It was   suggested   and   approved   to run   a   tag   day   within   several weeks to  raise  500  dollars.
Mr. E. E. Kerschner was nam¬ ed chairman of the tag day com¬ mittee to raise funds for the playgrounds.
The group felt certain that the community would support this worthwhile project again as they have done in the past.
