Joint City-College Project MSC Design Class Plans To Renovate City Park With the help of the advance design class from Northwest State College, a complete renovation of the East Third Street park will be completed by the end of the summer session. The park board, meeting in special session Thursday evening, approved the improvement and expansion of the park as a project for the class, instructed by Tom Sayre, Maryville. The park board gave its full endorsement and pledged the cooperation and assistance for the project. The project is one chosen by the class and must be completed by Aug. 3.

All proposed improvements for the park were designed by the students. Additions to the park will include a small wooden fort, a big sand box made from the old wading pool, an obstacle course, stumps for climbing, culverts, foot bridges, other wooden climbing appartus, a modern swing set to replace the one now in the park, tire swings, teeter-totters, and other items. The project will not include improvement in the northeast corner of the park, which is the site of a makeshift ball diamond. The project is part of an overall plan to improve and create playground equipment which will allow children to play imaginatively, according to Sayre. The class not only designed but also will build the new equipment.

Before designing the equipment, the students talked with youngsters throughout the city in order to get an idea of what the children wanted in the park. One project will be finished before another one is started to allow for time shortage. The students began solicitation today of local businesses for scrap metal, barrels, wooden spools, lumber, nails, paint, concrete, chain and culverts. Cash donations will be set up in a specific fund for the park project. 'Operation Patriotism' JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.
