You know parks and have always been my hobby and no better use could be put to our Green Springs property than turning it into golf course for the use of the people. And while right now the city can't afford to spend much for the laying out of the links, I hope and believe that after we get started some means will be provided by which a municipal club house can be built, with shower baths and swim ming pools and all of the ct cetera which go with regular and select country club.

the pleasures Of the customary joilifcation

festivities one day short. The weekend,
including Labor Day, has always been q

vacations of varying length in this elf,
and this year will be no exception.
Yesterday all of the Philadelphia trains
came down well filled and the arrivals to-

the few gaps made by the departing south

from Philadelphia have no fear of being
left here, even IL the strike order should
go into effect at z a. m. on Monday. Should
the strike not be settled today people from
Philadelphia will have ample time to start
for their homes on Sunday afternoon or
