required Recreation Director Harry Hains worth said the Reese Emerson Houghton Mulroy and Mungovan playgrounds will be kept' open be yond the Saturday closing from noon until dark on weekdays and from 10 A to 4 on Satur days with a playground caretaker assigned to each The fact that facilities for play ing football a seasonal activity now and facilities for tennis arc avail able at those play areas led to this decision Mr llainsworth said they will be kept open as long as good weather holds out Prepare Winter Activities The recreation director said clos ing of other playgrounds is neces sary to prepare for the swing to indoor activities which are carried on throughout the Winter "To administer a good physical education program as expected to doX he said must come to a shutting off point for
