Very often, when riding along on

Harrison Park Notes.

Maple trees In the park are again
suffering from a cotton bug pest which
of late years has been making its ap-
pearance annually
Park superintendent Peter Fox says
that it is almost impossible to cope
with the situation where maple trees
exist in large numbers, although he
says it is possible to keep the pest
down on one two trees with con-
sistent spraying. Under the circum-
stances he would not advise Hammond
people to plant any more naples, as
they would have trouble with their
trees for many years to come
Mr.. Fox is taking great pride in a
young white swan which was Matched
out at Harrison park yesterday. The
old birds sat on two eggs, but only
one of the young ones was strong
enough to break out of the shell.
At the spring festival which was
held at the park last Tuesday several
school children left their coats and
, Jackets at the park. and they are still
unclaimed. Mr.. Fox is anxious to re-
store them to their rightful owners.
