Scavenger Hunt
As Rec Program

Special event at the summer
recreation program at the City
Park this week will be a scavenger
hunt scheduled for Friday evening,
director e. D. Harvey announced.
The event is one of a series of
special interest events to supple
ment the regular features of the
program, he pointed out. Though
weather, that has been a bugaboo
to the program, rained out the first
such event scheduled.
All those who would like to
enter the hunt for a really good
time are to report at the Park
tomorrow evening, Friday, at
500 he announced. Youngsters
are asked to bring a picnic
lunch SO that the picnic can top
off the hunt with a full eve
ning's entertainment.
All those entering are to meet
at the Park for lists of things to
get. Prizes will be given for var
ious events in connection with the
hunt, Mr.. Harvey pointed out.
Now in the fifth week of the
program, attendance still runs
heavily below that of year ago,
it was pointed out. Swimming, once
the all-time popular event of the
program, has been curtailed in the
cool weather that prevailed for
most of the time. Only several hot
days have driven the young people
seeking relief in the Park-which
is actually the life's blood of the
program.
The week just past, with the In
dependence Day holiday and Sun
day, brought out larger group
than other weeks. Warmer, MUIR
ky weather brought increased i'm
petus to the program, it was re-
ported. Most consistently interest
ed group of all is the tiny tots who
appear enthusiastically each morn
