It has been put forward at over a long period. There Is nothing to bo said against. it, and everything In Its Newport's climate is the most healthful In the world.

This statement Is not a Is not the result of guesswork, nor Is 'commercial propaganda, of reibrt type. Prof. Ellsworth Huntington of Yale University, Is the latest scientist to add his'opinion to.that expressed first by Robert Melville, who reported to the Brllr Ish government In' "The climate la the most salubrious of any part of His Majesty's possessions In, America." -And' an excerpt from' "The Transactions of the American Cllmatologlcal Association, 1B10," declares: "The remarkable natural of Newport average human is by. statistics."

President Roosevelt, If ha. comes here for the races, will have ample annals of yachting. a magnificent craft to. handle. Each has a well-trained competent and loyal crew.

The belting odds have been reported as favoring the challenger, But this may be due to more English' raonty bctiig ready for betting than 'American. After the American contender has been named, and. as the date of the first, cup race approaches; perhaps the betting be on even terms. One 'of the reasons for believing that the cup may go to Britain this time Is. that "It's tlnio there was a change In the Bounds trivial enough, as a reason, but it Is one that might intluence the "hunch" any rate Newport has oeen privileged 'to see.some exciting races, and some beautiful marine spectacles as Rainbow, Weetamoe, Yankee, Vanllle have made' their way through waters 'of the bay.

Newport has more and better 'playgrounds than most of Its. size; more arid better 1 playgrounds, as a matter of fact, than cities several times its size. Our playgrounds arc well conducted, are -patronized by thousands of children and contribute materially to the mental, moral and physical training of Newport youngsters.

It Is, of difficult to c-Mst them, but other, communities do so. Newport, as a matter has told them to "move on and keep moving" many times in'the past Perhaps a way will ha found again.

Life was simpler then. Most 'children had ample the houses in 'which they lived, and.

If they strayed onto the street, there were no motor vehicles -rushing past to endanger them. There were a good many vacant lots where children could and did play. But, even In the old days, there was the "corner and all its vicious connotations. competent men and' women an provided at each playground as supervisors, and they take good care of the youngsters entrusted to them. Not only do children gain health and strength supervised play, they are taught discipline, the value of team a decent consideration for the: rights of others.

In addition many of them receive instruction In basketry and sewing, and, In some of Newport's playgrounds, they are taught how to swim. So the playgrounds, besides "taking young ones off the are valuable in an educational, as well as in a recreational; way, too. The work of the playgrounds Is done quietly and without blare of trumpets. Perhaps tharc- are; a good maiy Newporters who. not coming In direct touch with It, arc not aware of the good work they are dolrg every summer.

A ten- minute visit to any playground in Newport would be a revelation to those who have never seen one in THE SEASOX CHANCES. When yellows and reds aro the colors that show most In the gardens, when'moonlight takes on an orange hue, when chirp 'their continuous night concerts and peeping bird voices fill the midnight air as these little migrants flock toward the south, It Is signalling the approach of a change In'the season. These and many other signals of the kind must us admit that summer is merging into fall. To those who know Newport, though, the coming change Is welcome. Of all seasons of the year, Autumn here Is most delightful.

Besides, old Newporters know that for the most part we have five seasons here, not four. After the lovely time of Autumn, and before the cold of winter has become established, our own fifth season comes, Indian summer. Then the days with their hush and peace and genial warmth are the most beautiful of the year. Now we have the red and gold In our flower beds, before thoas colors show In the changed Autumn foliage.

Chairman Carr asked for particulars of unfairness, and was told that wage scales were not maintained and employers were driven beyond human endurance. Mylea Johnson outlined the general situation with a further plea for organized labor, reviewing, the depression, which shortened time to 40 hours a week and reduction of wages from 51-12 to and finally to cents per hour, in April, 1933. He urged that this latter scale or the PWA standards be required In the contract "I believe the work "should be done locally, for the benefit of the taxpayers, business men and citizens of Newport." Superintendent Lowe "read the paragraphs of the contract in question, which set wages for skilled mechanics at 55.20 and for form building SO cents per hour, and gave preference to bona-fide dents of Newport.
