TuscawiIla Pask
In years to come OcaIa will rise up
in a large body, and give sincere
thanks to a small band of workers
from the Woman's Club. who have
worked so hard to make Tuscawilla
Park what 1t is.
Work is slowly but surely adyanc-
ing, and the mere pittance given by
the city is pulled and no longer are
the weeds allowed to grow, now the
grass is kept cut and one can really
see what beauty spot we have.
The past week, two new swings
have been put up FOR the children and
also smerry-go-round' has been add
ed, and work has been started on
cleaning out the underground around
the Elisabeth Maughs Grotto," and
by the way l. any one is a doubling
Thomas, call up Mrs. Weihe or Mrs.
Emily Green. and let them carry you
around the Indian Trail to see this
beautiful grotto. A lover of nature
will indeed have his eyes opened.
This is beauty spot. natural one,
the rocks are covered with green
ferns and pretty wild flowers, the
scene is a prettier one than has ever
before greeted ones eyes The citi-
zens of Ocala are only asleep they
will soon be walked up, and will be
unable to understand just why they
don't get back of Tuscawilla Park,
and push it to completion
One of our winter tourists from
Michigan is so much in love with this
beauty spot that he has put on his
overalls, gotten his saw, hammer, hoe
and rake and goes down with the
ladies and helps them. He says
'sOcala wake up to this, one of your
beautiful spots
Recently another very prominent
Ocala citizen was shown around, and
he says 1T is right at our gates, and
before long the gate will be opened
and park will come through
One of the greatest needs is for the
people to come and take a peep at
what we have, another great need is
lights Now that we are making light
so cheap with our new engine, can't
the "city fathers be persuaded to put
up some in beautiful Tuscawilla Park.
Nature has done her share for
Ocala in making these beautiful spots
so ideal and necessary for park, but
without the help of human hands,
very little more can be done. Wake
up some in beautiful Tuscawilla Park?
