Playgrounds Open To Record Crowds Of Eager Children

Opened to the public yesterday the playgrounds drew the largest opening day crowds for boys and girls. Two hundred youngsters attended early, rising to over four hundred by day’s end. The American Legion pool proved popular with many youths. Improvements continue with a new Harris Addition fountain and Handley ground works including a athletic field and jumping pits. The aim is safe fun for children. Swimming schedule changes at the pool include no Saturday sessions and Tuesday nights open to boys and girls with supervision. Single swim costs 25 cents or six for $1. Baseball league signups urged for Otis Sargent to collect remaining forms.
