“Skip” Wrathall requested that some civic minded person donate the use of a vacant field for softball playing. He had volunteered to organize recreation activities for the community during the summer. For a few weeks Albert Winter had allowed one of his pastures in Darlington to be used for this purpose, but he reluctantly announced that he needed the field for pasturage. Wrathall, in making the appeal, said that the Township was the only one in the area without a community playing field. Mahwah needed a playing field. He implied that the Township Committee should get busy and create one. (Bristow)
