sleep on a green expanse Of grass.
OF course, when it comes to golf,
I have plenty to do with the turf
putting it back in place. But
more seriously I really planted
seeded as we experts say-a nice
plot Of grass once. And that's all
it takes. just stand out in your
ward some day sprinkling a little
grass seed around and you Will DIS
cover what we have learned to De
a fact. That there are many ana
varied ways to seed the blooming
stuff, and every guy that comes
along will add his bit. It's like get

seems to be: get the wind benind

what we were after last week

The need for more park

Misunderstanding to Mr.. ant
Mrs. Harvey, who supervise tn
beach, there's no town like this on
for having so many little kids g
fishing. It's always been hk'
that here. AS soon as the tikes ar
old enough to toddle away from
home, they're hiking for the lax
with a fish pole over the arm AM
a can of. worms in the other hand
And it's not surprising to see
nice string of fish come back wit
these young anglers. =. This love o
the sport has contributed heavily to
ward backing up the organized rec
reation program in some OF II
parts, but the lads all take di

Strange the attachments one
forms from long contact. Mol
lie Gilbert, just back from Mil
waukee, missed most, when he
was out in that Wisconsin city,
Sank Lake. In his youth Nollie
spent days on the lake swimm-
ing and fishing. In fact his
home was always just stones
throw from the brink where the
waves crashed on rough days
on the Park beach. In Milwau-
kee he had Lake Michigan with
it's multitude of sailing craft,
high-powered motor launches
and yachts, and some scows.
But it wasn't the same. He mis-
sed Sank Lake. So when he
came back one of the first
things he did was gather up his
scattered fishing tackle, PUNK
out four bucks for an out-of-
state fishing license the first
time he ever did that and
head out on Sank Lake.

Collar-Sports-minded Alex Der
SON. whose love Of sport is no mer
myth, climbed into his open car tn
other day, turned north and ives
travelled alone to the countr
around Inspiration Peak to tn
Scene of his early manhood. Tn
drive took him to the old home
stead where his parents used I
live. and it was a scene he hadn
seen in fifty years. For day b
dawdled about the old place wit
visits to relatives still IN the SCI
ton, calling up memories OF a ha
century ago. :. (. Perhaps the grea
est thrill for him was a dog co
lar one of the relatives handed hi
on his arrival. At once he recoi
nized it as a nickel collar he ma
bought for an Irish setter he ma
