eggs to keep from slipping.
"And we haven't seen a polar
bear yet, either, and that is what
we came for" added Bobby.
II don't think it's so bad" said
Bunny hopefully, hopping happily
along, although Bunny himself
was wearing little jacket over
his own fur coat.
IF we'd see a polar bear, I
would say it was worth it, but

We've been out long time, too"
said l, fastening my fur collar
more tightly around my neck.
On and on we went, getting
colder and colder, and wearier
and wearier. Finally, poor little
Bobby gave up. He tried not to
cry, but could see two tiny
balls of ice on his cheeks. 1
knew they were frozen tears.
Soon he gasped:

other STEP"
Just keep on for a little while,
Bobby, Wen soon be back at the

But his little legs gave out and
I could see coming over him the
drowsiness that Is a very bad

Bunny. HE can't rest out here

an igloo in sight. If he could
only rest and warm up, then we

Bunny sat up on his hind legs,
shaded his eyes with his paw,
being, careful not. to knock his
whiskers, for they were frozen
stiff, and then he darted off. =,

If you do, you are requested to come out, and to also express yourself, in order that the management may deter mine your wishes in deciding whether to have dances every Monday night, as we'll as other nights. As Sid Jacobs, director of dances, says: If the peo- pl3 like the Monday night dances, we want to know it, and will give it to them"
 Another interesting announcement comes from Edgewood to the effect that many clubs, organizations of different kinds, fraternal, church, social, etc., are taking advantage of special rates that are being made to outing parties. The privileges of the swimming pool, with a dinner and tickets to the dances are all three given to parties, outing crowds, etc., at special reduced rates.

FATHERS REVEL IN WATER PLAY Many Making Merry On East Lakes New
 Beach

The middle of July finds the people of Birmingham in the middle of a bad fix. The heat gods are doing their stuff to the detriment of comfort locally Still, there are thousands who have learned the key to comfort when Sol starts to doing his dirtiest dirty work There is nothing so refreshing and in- vigorating as swim in a nice, cool body of water, when the sweltering pe- riod of the year arrives. Thousands are taking this swim at East Lake park.
 The reason of this selection is the fact that East Lakes bathing beach is twice as large this year as it was last. d~1t contains deep sectors for swimmers and divers. It has novelties galore for the promulgation of water sports. Clear spring water flows into and out of the lake every minute of the day. The beach. is in charge of a capable man who has taught swimming to thousands ot minghammers-Nick Seymour. Nick has gathered around him a ca pable crew of life guards. All these things collaborate in making East Lake park the popular swimming resort that it has proven to be.
 Monday marks the ushering in of an other ladies day at the beach. The women of Birmingham make merry at East Lake each Monday afternoon where they are given free admissions into the lake from to 2 80 D. m. The only requirement. of any woman enjoy ing this privilege is that she furnish her own suit. Also the bathing cos tune competition proves a big hit each Monday afternoon. A season pass is given the woman having the prettiest costume. A second prize of a bathing suit and a third prize, a diving cap, are also given. The spectators them selves choose the prettiest costume.
 At this angle it looks like the park is away to another weeks record for picnics. Families, churches and fra ternal organizations have come to learn that the park is an ideal spot for that outing and basket lunch. The tables
