Scope and content
Seventy-nine year old Berthold A. Prengel slides down the "chute-the-chute" he built in his backyard at 4318 East "N" St. for his granddaughter Patricia McLean and her friends. Using scrap lumber, he has converted his yard into a carnival for the enjoyment of four year old "Pat." In addition to the slide, he built a hand operated ferris wheel, merry-go-round, teeter-totter and throwing game. Pat is now the most popular girl in the neighborhood! (T. Times 6/4/1937, pg 3)
