As an outcome of the sucoessh ;:; the playground. lantern parade he ‘at Sunset Park last Monday, a lanâ€" tern parade and songfest is to be held at Roger Williams Avenue Park, in Ravinia, on Friday evening, July 31. This park is a lovely, natural beauty spot, and lends itself well as a setâ€" ting for the brilliant sight that the lantern parade will be. There are many wooded paths leading in a natâ€" ural arena surrounded by trees; the children, carrying tanterns selected as the best, from those made by all the children, will march through these paths and into the arena, led by song leaders. ‘Then, with the audience joining in, there will be a songfest. All the oldâ€"time songs will be sung, and the spirit of the occasion will be one of pleasantness and restfulness. Rogers Williams Avenue Park is on Roger Williams avenue between Kincaid and Bronson. The lantern parade will.begin at 8:80 p.m. Evâ€" eryone is invited to attend, and all ug,"unnd of . an entertaining m| n % t woP# ja * " "Altogether the north shore subâ€" urbs make an excellent showing. Among those above the 10 acres per thousand population standard are Glencoe, with 16.6 acres; Lake Bluff, 29.5 acres; Lake Forest, 26 acres, and "Wifinetka, 18 acres. Waukegan, with *8.7 acres, approaches the standard. Libertyville is the low spot of the area included in the survey, with 1.1 acres per 1,000 population. _ "Evanston takes its place near the bottom of the list with but 2.3 acres per 1,000â€"population. The survey inâ€" dicates that Evanston, as one of the most rapidlyâ€" growing cities in the Chicago area, is called upon to give serious thought to the subject of parks and playgrounds for the future. "It has 40 acres of parks and playâ€" standard that has been set as apâ€" proaching the ideal condition requires only 10 acres far 1,000 persons. Highâ€" land Park, therefore, is already preâ€" pared for four times its present popâ€" ulation. 4Â¥3 "It is suspected that Highland Parkâ€" mayâ€"lead the â€"world in the amount of acreage devoted to recreaâ€" tion. It leads in the Chicago area by a large margin, and no incorporated city is reported as approaching it. â€""Shore suburbsâ€"willâ€"beâ€"interested in facts regarding their playgrounds presented in a table just compiled by the Chicago Regional Planning assoâ€" ciation. The following from the Chicago Herald and Examiner indicates the potable position occupied by Highâ€" land Park in the matter of playâ€" grounds and public recreation faciliâ€" ties generally, credit for which is due largely to the efforts of the East Park district board and its superinâ€" tendent Edward M. Laing. The Exâ€" aminer says: .antern Parade and § â€"â€"Songfest at Ravinia Chicago Paper Says H. P.
