CU TI URPHY, ident
in Ward 2, id hopefully some of the
could be ed to have recrea­
tion rea centralize in each ward for
younger children to go and pi y. He
id many of the p rents in that ward
re cornpl ining that they need orne
type 0 recreation in the are 0 they
don't have to end their children so
far from their neighborhood to play. ,
Murphy id he have een some
of the younger boy , in the ages
bracket of ven and eight, play on
old mattress' in orne of the vacant
lots, "doing flips."
, "I have no problem in trying to
help out with recreation, " Commis-
ioner George Wysinger said, but,
"we can't put a park in every city
block in the community for personal
convenience for orne parents be­
cause they don't want their kids to go
two or three blocks from home."
"We have to tan using our par
that we have in the city already and
the parents are going to have to tart
teaching their kids to use the p
an� not tear them up," Wysinger
sa1d.
He went on naming various par
in the city and different activities that
were played there. "They all got
demoli hed by the people that the
par were uppo to erve," he
said. "We got more erious thi�
here in this city, a lot worse than
recreation," Wysinger said.
HE ADMITTED that recreation
was a problem, but the problem of
housing and streets are more serious
mattter.
Wy inger said the city should
"support more non-profit organiza­
tions like CORD" that is trying to fix
up home in the Cityof Benton Har­
bor.
City resident, Elliott Ro �shared
with the commission a "tool lending"
center project that he, along with
some others had organized.
Ro said many of the enior
citizens and other ci ty resisents don't
have yard tools for the upkeep of
their yards, so they came up with the
idea where citizens could come to
the center and borrow tools. He said
all they had to do was sign their name
and what tool they were getting, "just
like checking out a book at the
library" with no cost.
Ross said he would be coming to
the commission oon with the
