THE PARK
The new kitcht n bungalow haa been built
at the park Two new teeter boards, two
hammocks, a fourteen foot table and three
more smail tables have been added. Thtre
is no law, that I know of. that forbids any-
one from cleaning the tsb'es, after they have
used them, and if there is such * law we will
use our influence to hate it repealed. You
are welcome to use the park all you please but
we would appreciate it very much if you
would help to keep it cl<jan.
