of getting out on the streets for a stroll,
and inhaling the fresh, balmy air
Many went out into the surrounding
forests in search of the fragrant trailing

search, for that blossom is now in full
bloom. Others made excursions to
near by piscatorial streams, and some
of these made fine catches, while others
had tisherman's luck A great many
went out into the country in vehicles
for drive, while others made trips into
the farming section on bicycles. Taken
all in all it was day enjoyably spent.
