Russel Flood Praises Recreation Work in Radio Talk An excerpt from a radio message given hy Mrs. Russel C. .Flood, 210 Broadway, who spoke over radio station WGN last Wednesday under the auspices of the Tenth district Federation of Women's clubs, pays the fol lowing tribute to the Wilmette Playgroun~ and Recreation board: "The second phase of community ser vice, that is the Recreational activities, is bes t illustrated, I think, bv the Playground and Recreation board of the Yillage of Wilmette, Ill. I am proud to say I am a member of the athletic council of this board. I represent my club (Woman's Catholic club) as chairman of co mrrunity service. 1\.11 of the churches, bu ., mess associations, clubs and differ e nt departments of our local government have representative s o n this council. The program of activities is s ch(!dyl ed t o provide for every pha se of recreation and for every age of indi,·iduals who wish the advantages. The Park board provides and maintain s the parks with apparatus and the Recreation board p rovides and main tains t ennis courts, baseball diamonds, track and f ootball fi elds and skating ponds in winter. "In spring all of the schools, public a nd private, jo in in baseball leagues. Every grade, from fifth to eighth, competes for th e championship. Th e girls have their kickball leagues. "At the C'lose of the sch ool y ear there are conte~t!-i in roll er s kating, runnin g and jumping-. During thE> s umm er m onth::; th ere are su pervi so rs engaged in directinp; play, athl etics and handi craft in thr different r.arks whil e classes in ~w imming instruction are given dailY at th<' beach. Any church or business org·ani zatinn ran en t<'r a dults into the baseball . ha~ketball. volleyball, football or hor seshoe leagues. All adults are welco me to the eve ning gymnasium and ball room danc ing- cl:lsses for men a nd wom en. Th ·re a.re eve n two classes of golf instruction. "On Hallowe'e n th <' schools put aside other activities and open th<'ir doors to all the children to free motion picture shows and refreshm en ts with prizes for the bes t costum<'s worn by the children. Th e clubs h eartily endorse this by gen erous contribution s. r ,e event. which brings out some peoplt who don't go in for anything elRe, i!'l the singing of Christmas carols on Christma:-:; eve b ~ fore the lighted muni cj~'ll tree in front of th(~ \'illage hall. Th e ice f'arnival which is open to all chi ld ren of grammar school age Is the crowning eve nt of the winter. "Without even stoppin!J to think, every ma n and woman can readily see the valu to the general h ealth of the individual of such a progrmn, but pause to thinl<: or the moral valu e. AR a k eynote let me remind you of the old proverb, 'Idleness is the mother of all evil.' We have a truant officer in Wilmette but she has no truant cases to take up her time so she .can give h er efforts to charity by helpm12; the poor. The children are always busy working- and planning for one thing or another so they are happy." Mrs. Flood reprN.;ents the '\\ oman's Cat~olic club, of which she is community service chairman. on the athletic council of the ;playground and Recreation board.
