LAKE FRONT PARK
READY FOR SPRING

Lake front park has been touched
by the magic breath of spring. and for
a fortnight now there have been silent
STRINGS in the branches of the trees
and In the roots of the grass. There
is a sort of expectancy haunting the
place as if it were about to burst forth
into one grand surprise and song of
welcome
The cooling shade of the trees, the
soft grass, and the bracing breeze from
the lake are fond memories in the
minds of thousands of Hammond peo-
pie who visited the recreation spot last
year.
1t will be weeks, possibly months, be-
fore the park will be at its Ioveiiest,
but nothing undaunted the place al
ready has a number OF visitors daily
who apparently find 1t hard to wait un-
til the thermometer registers 100 in the
shade.
That the strictest supervision should
be maintained: that the undesirable
element shall be barred and the place
made the playground for respectable
rich and poor element of Hammond
that is the wish of thousands whose
thoughts begin to turn with the first
warm sun toward the lake front park
