Weeds will have to be cut and

an overgrown lawn. It is possible

One thing wants to be clear.
We're going to hit all prospect

of services or labor. And don't

mean just that. There's lot Of
work to be done, and our fig
ures don't call for any labor

ken by the younger gentlemen
Of this city, who play and who
are employed. Many have signi-
fled their intentions to not only
make q donation but to come
out and work as well. Now to
you younger fellows. If you

One thing we are sure of. The
courts will be played and played to
death. And for that reason we feel
that our set up is a boon to the
community. If there has been more
clamor for anything else than ten

just because the courts have
been taken over for this sea-
son does not lessen the fact
that Sank Centre needs courts
in less remote spots. We are
informed that there are still
moneys available on the Park
prOject-and here we inject the
thought-what better place can
there be for tennis courts than
on that new Lake fill? Close to
the park and with the lake at
one end it affords an ideal
place. Tennis courts enhance
the appearance of any piece Of
property. Here's another happy
thought. Not entirely our own
but even IL 1t was 1t would be
q dandy. There are several or
CARNATIONS in town that would

courts. Take the Rotary Club,
and the ". F. w., for example.
1t would be a fine work for
them to do. The American Lee

q noble work for the young ele-
