Very fine, isn't It? But do you
know what the joker Isl We don't
have two tennis courts. We don't
even have one good one. The one
at the Library has been awaiting
the outcome Of Tuesdays election
to see whether or not the school
could sell the property or not
and the voters decreed that they
could not. That one may be fixed
now. Out at the Country Club
we've had promises Of help from
those in charge of WPA recrea-
ton, but they're handicapped with
a shortage of time and men. All
their resources have been thrown
in to help the recreational pro-
gram set up by Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
vey this year, and they haven't had
time to put in on tennis court
work. Now Steir and Dickson, in
charge of WPA recreation, have
had promises from Mr.. Campbell,
it is said, that a third man would
be put on here in Sank Centre just
to look after tennis courts. A no
BILE, fine plan. But as yet with
the summer skipping merrily
along, nothing has been done about
1t. Melrose, we are told, had three
men. Q'm going to pull the one
about well, Sarah, had three APP
piles, why can't -. Seems to me the
boys would like a yes or a no on
this proposal of third man.
At the Celeb-There were
thrills and hair raisers at the
4th Of July celebration boat
races when a crackup and a
tip over enlivened the event
with no serious mishaps. 1t
was during one of the races as
Am Welle, came scoOting
around the buoy with the
thrOttel wide open when Her
man Zerfus crossed his path
and cracked him. 1t was
bounding on the Spanish main
for a while there as excite
ment ran high and Don Han
son flew to the rescue in his
high-powered Chris Craft. The
impact tore the Welle boat in
two, tossed Zerfus into the wa
ter and left Welle high and dry
clinging to the motored half of
his boat. Then there were abs
when one of the lads rounded
a turn too suddenly, shipped
water, and his motor died. BY
the time the life boat got TO
him he was on the PROV of his
boat, the only remaining part
above water.
And say, that water fight was
fun. Your correspondent with a
clean shirt on, did too, didn't
venture too close for those hoses
were pouring out about $50 gallons
of aqua minute. With that por-
tentious stream aimed at an I'M
suspecting key of beer, the Melrose
laddies and local fireeaters went
at it with a vengeance. The crowd
that had edged closer and closer
suddenly let out a scream and
scattered like so many sheep be-
fore the nipping teeth of the dog.
For mud and water were flying
over them. The local boys finally
pushed the barrel back across the
line-won the barrel and it's con-
tents. Everybody had fun.
There was a match I'm the
athletic arena that harlled
back to last spring. This
match drew the biggest gate
all day. Kleber, Melrose. and
Egan, of this city, went at 1t in
a boxing exhibition as they
drew the full house gate. The
fight went to q draw, but it
was dandy. You know, it
seems that Kleber figured he
could knock Egan's teeth
down into his shoes and made
some remark about how he'd
hit him so hard he'd be pick
ing toenails out of his chin.
But Egan wasn't to be fright
ened SO easily. So he ups and
told Kleber he'd fight him at
the school carnival. Now Kle-
Der that eventful evening just
remembered that his grandmOS
