To Build Addition
Ocean Point Casino
Meet Growing Needs

The directors of the Ocean Point
Association have voted to build an
extension Of twenty feet on the Ca
slno. This extension will provide a
much enlarged dance hall. ante
rooms and kitchen. The Casino roof
Will be newly shingled and other
necessary improvements made to put
tne building in first class condition.
This extension has become necessary
because of the growth of this we'll
known colony and will make the Ca
s1no a real center for social life and
community effort. The work has
been let to Charles f. Hoxie and
will be completed before July 1st.
Ocean Point has a colony Of about
lao houses and summer population
OF about 500 souls. The Casino was
built many years ago when the popu-
lation at the Point was less than
half of what it is today. and no long
er answers the increasing demands
OF growing community. Improve
ments were made last year to the
Casino, the tennis courts were re-
built, the floating wharf put in first
class condition and street lighting
installed
The directors believe that the en-
largement of the Casino at this time,
providing as it will for equipment
for social undertakings, will be ap-
proved by the Ocean Point public.
1t is planned to have an opening and
dance the evening Of July 3rd and a
real rally of all friends of the Point.

both mothers and children. Balloons
Of many colors, multi colored cos
tunes and equally varied paper hats
worn by all the youngsters. whether
taking part in the program or not,
made this May party Kaleidoscope
affair most interesting and pleasant
to all.
A feature of the party was the
browning of little Miss Byrle Nc
Kinley as Queen of the May. This
charming young lady was selected
for this honor by popular vote of. the
pupils at the Nash school and she
accepted the plaudits of the gather
ing in a true queenly manner. Ac-
companied by her retinue of atten-

USED AUTO PARTS
IN BIG DEMAND

One might not think that there was
much of market for used parts of
automobiles. But there is. Edward
L. Ripley of the Ripley company can
tell anyone that and prove it. The
very fact that he has been success
fully in the business on Howard
street is sufficient evidence that there
is a demand for certain things that
come out of an automobile, although
the life of the particular car may be
at an end.
Mr.. Ripley has built up a wide
business in used parts of cars. More
than that, he has become an author
ity on the 'in'ards" of automobiles.
A skilled mechanic himself, he is able
to diagnose automobile ills for others
and to help out in real auto trouble
when it develops.

POPULAR WORK

week recently held in Augusta was,
probably, the most successful in the
history of the city. Following the

desire to have things fixed up.
In this connection, the fixing of
chimneys has become popular and in

bad. the house is not safe. For this
reason, they have been giving their

Then, too, there have been piazza
posts that have needed fixing, walls
repaired and other things done where
bricks are essential. For all these.
