ABBEVIL The people of Abbeville feel i justifiable pride inu the playground equipment obtained through the <rood offices of Mrs. W. F. Nickles of the Parent Teacher Association She raised $809 by going out and "{retrmjr it. .*\s i? ^uai ov?>_4, cases the response was both a compliment and a complement to the appeal. In today's issue the Press and Banner is publishing cuts of some of the playground equipment. It is to be regretted ihat cuts of all the equipment could not be obtained, but what is shown here will give some idea of what has been secured and its benefit to the children. The cuts show a six swing outfit, a giant stride and a slide. When the total equipment arrives which has been ordered, and has been installed, there will be in addition to that mentioned above, a set of traveling rings, two basket ball courts, a volley ball court, a tennis court, another slide or chute-de-chute a t^ee saw, quoits ana an ocean wave. That part of the equipment which has already been installed has made a big hit with the children. There is during play hours a waiting line at every apparatus and after school hours the equipment is kept busy. It would be futile to go into the value of such apparatus to the school children; it keeps them occupied at healthful exercise, directs their energies when they might be idle or worse, gives them pleasure and refreshes them for the return tc studies.
