beautiful little grove of pines and
spruces in the Kerrick Tourist Park.
Few people are aware that there is
here the beginning of delightful
source Of pleasure to everyone.
The project was begun, three years
ago, under N Y A, but was subsequent
ly abandoned by the government be-
cause of scarcity of eligible youths in
the vicinity. Local enthusiasts, how
ever, kept up the spirit, and continued
to develop the park. A great deal Of Gre
dit is due to William Schubert-Bill,
to you-for narrowing this plot OF
ground at various times. Credit also
goes to Jim Murphy for supervising
the original planting.
Some time next summer it Is hoped
that everyone will declare one day
as Park day, and join in to help
beautify the spot. A small knoll, ad-
joining the park. can be easily re-
moved, and the dirt spread over the
entire park, which now consists sole
ly of peat. A half-dozen teams and
scrapers with the aid of a few SHOW
elers, woulde accomplish this purpose
with ease. During the coming winter
the poplars will be removed, and the
