The Glenwood post., 1923-07-19

Beman Kelly could not be reached, and
things looked discouraging. However,
the call was issued, and the next thing
was to secure accommodations in the
park.
1t was wonderful day and the
crowds began t oarrive early, thous-
ands were streaming in at the one main
entrance, as it had been decided to
route all in by this one way and exit
by another SO the next big problem
was how to reach the Glenwood people
and tell them in what section to 90.
The only thing to do was to station
myself at the entrance and as each
party arrived to send them to section
d where a table had been secured.
From O'Clock until noon L stood
between a traffic officer and park
policeman watching for the Glenwood
faces and, take it from me, 1 can now
give some pointers on traffic regula-
tions.
The traffic officer told me that he
at one time punched cattle'' in the
Glenwood district and the park police
man told me of a good swim he had
in the pool a couple of years ago.
The first to arrive was VIM. Dougan
and his family from Ocean Park This
encouraged me and 1 suggested that
Mrs. Dougan get the coffee started, as
many would be using the stoves that
day.
All went well until c. R. Thompson
and his children, and the children's
children arrived in two large cars from
Westgate. They were a whole picnic
within themselves and as l am not so
well acquainted with the younger gen
GRAFTON, who seemed to be more in eyi.
dence, L was sure they were greeting
the traffic officer instead of me, until
finally caught sight of Mrs. Thomp-
son smuggled in among lot of bas.
kets and boxes.
When the crowd began to thin out
l went back to our corner in the picnic
grounds and found ever so many who
had arrived by some other route. The
coffee was made, the tables We're set
all in readiness for the feast.
Such stacks of food, more of every
thing than we could possibly eat. Gus
Henderson brought large watermelon
that was never cut and the last mem
ory that l have of the pleasant day as
we left that evening was that water
melon in its place of honor at the head
of the table with our American flas.
