porting the members of the James
Fitzgerald post Auxiliary and of the
Augusta Girls Community Club, who
have no other way Of going to the
park.
The Augusta House bus will leave
from in front of the Post Office at
o'clock tomorrow morning to convey
these workers. The young ladies of
the Girls Club will prepare the
booth from which they will dispense
candy and smokes on the day of the
grand Fourth of July celebration. All
volunteer workers going to the
community park Sunday Will carry
box lunches and the canteen will also
be in operation at the grounds for
the sale of food.
The completion of the central
pavilion and kitchen at the Legion
Community Park has been through
the efforts Of the volunteer workers,
materially aided by the small crew
of regular carpenters under the dir
ection of Charles Raynes of this city.
Mr.. Raynes' crew framed the large
structure and by heroic work
through the week kept the whole
program going just ahead of sched-
ule, so that on Monday the thousands
who viii probably go to the park
from this section of the State will
find everything in readiness for the
grand dedication program.
Contractor Raynes and his men
also became imbued with the en-
thusiasm which has made the entire
development possible, and after six
days of hard work each week were
loath to leave the scene on the
seventh. The carpenters stayed on
the job on Sundays and put in the
full day without compensation. as
their contribution to the community
development. 1t has been this same
spirit throughout that has made the
project unique in the annals of CO.
operative efforts in this State.
There will be several interesting
features on Sunday at the park, as
Chief Neptune will hold his try-out
for the race in which he and his
daughter will paddle canoe against
a boat propelled by an out board
motor. Field trials will also be held
for the selection of teams and COM
petitors in the field and water
events of the interesting Monday
program, the winners of which will
be awarded Sesqui- Centennial medals.
