SPARKS FROM THE PARKS
The spark plugs aie out of or-
der today. The radiator is dry—
Villi no gasoline in the t.:r>k, and
the machine stopped in the mid-
dle of the street. What to do to
be saved, is what is bothering; the
mind of the Civic Committee.
Someone is complaining about
the condition of the west side of
the old City Park. There are too
many weeds and not enough clear
spots to tell where the Park is at.
This is true, and 'tis a pity, 'tis
true. The complaint is justified
and we are glad that the people
are noticing such things. It shows
a healthy state of mond. When
the people want parks bad enough
to call for them, loud and clear,
some one will answer the tele-
phone.
The Park Board are spreading
the butter on the bread as thin as
they can, and yet with economy
used in spending the money that
they have at their command, there
is still a shortage, and that is
bothering the Civic Committee
more than the rest of the family.
What to do to be saved and
where to go to get a little more
oil to .keep the machine running,
is the deep water we are now wad-

ROTARIAN BANQUET Norman H. School
There were over one hundred
old boys and younger boys at the
Rotarian "Father and Son" ban-
quet and "get-together" meeting
at the Mj E. Church on South San-
ta Fe Tuesday night, and 'jfter
partaking of delicious "eats" pre-
pared by the ladies of the church,
including plenty of that dish so
dear to Young America's heart,
ice cream, a splendid program of
music and addresses was given,
with President Stratton D. Brooks
acting as toastmaster.
All the Rotarians were there with
their sons, and those so un-
fortunate as to have no sons of
their own. brought somebody else's
son. Numerous special guests
were also present with their sons.
The University male quartette
sang eight or ten selections which
were uproariously received by the
your gsters of all ages.
^he principal address was made
by Mr. Leggett, secretary of Boys
Work in Oklahoma City, and he
talked most impressively and in-
terestingly to the fathers and the
sons. One of the principal points
he made was that the present "un-
rest" among the youngsters was
the over-indulgence accorded them,
causing them to lose not only their
own respect, but all respect for
their dads; many of them taking
ing through. Can you help the the attitude of a young college

PLANS UNDER WAT
FOR COUNTRY CLUB
FOR NORMAN
At its meeting on Monday the
Board of Directors of the Cham-
ber of Commerce gave their en-
dorsement to the suggestion of
Phil C. Kidd that the organization
get behind a proposition to pur-
chase a tract of land and estab-
lish a "Country club," and Mr.
Kidd was appointed a committee of
one, with power to appoint assis-
tents, to look into the matter, see
what could be done in the way of
getting our citizens interested,
and report at a later meeting.
As outlined by Mr. Kidd, the
proposition is to organize a Coun-

Dr. F. M. MeConnell, the state sec-
retary of the Baptist General Con-

impressions we leave on him of

will be a determining factor in our

The pastor will also go to At-

Board of the Southern Baptist
Convention, and in order to get all
of our data in the best shape for
presentation it will be necessary
for our local people to come out
and do their best.
Let me lovingly urge upon each
Baptist to set other things aside
for this evening, and make sacri-

Mr. Kidd is enthusiastic on the
subject and has already interested
a number of leading citizens in the
project. The plan would be to get ^
about 160 acres of land, within a (
short distance of Norman (prefer-1
ably on the Interurban) and im-
prove it nicely, making it a popu- \
lar resort. Other cities in Okla-
homa and other states no larger j
nor more wideawake than Norman, :
have such an institution, and Mr. j
| Kidd asks "Why not Norman?"
j And echo answers in stentorian
j tones: "WHY NOT NORMAN?"
i There is no reason in the world,
, thinks the Transcript, and it says
| to Mr. Kidd: "Go to it," and it
will give him all the assistance it
| can.
It's a mighty good proposition;
a mighty good idea.
