Spring

The outdoors lover is in his
glory out o'doors in the Spring
the scenes are beautiful and
lovely, yet cruel and cold. The
wild flowers nod greetings, the
geese way overhead honking
their way back to Canada, birds
everywhere engaged in their
little housing problems, and the
frogs tuning up their Tyres for
the concert season.
All Is not peace in nature.
Here is a startling tearing up
nests of other birds, a butcher
bird impales his bird victims on
needles of the thorn tree, the
weasel cuts the throats of a
dozen chickens for sheer devil
try, the scrappy mink disposses
the pacifist woodchuck, and the
soft-shelled turtle makes life
perilous for the finny tribe until
he lands in somebody's soup
tureen.
It's a great show put on by
nature, and there is no admis-
sion price. Anyone can see in
teresting things along the
streams, in the fields, or deep in
the sanctuary of the woods.

over the summer months.
It is announced that a Talent
Night" will be held in one OF
Toledo's theaters, and perform
ers will be selected for a show
to be offered later in the year.
A wiener roast will be held at
one of the up-river sites for

committee is arranging an ex-
cursion and boat ride to st.
Clair Flats on a Sunday in June.
A Spicer plant outdoor picnic
will be the crowning recreation
achievement and the committee
is making elaborate plans for
this affair. Several places which
would be suitable, and large
enough for the crowd, are being
considered.

public parks of Toledo.
Councilman Burke pointed
out in his recommendation
the need for the appropriation
because of the deplorable con-
dition of the playing fields,
stands, drinking fountains, and
rest room facilities. Also that
it will enable those of all ages to
plan and ENJOY athletic pro-
grams.
1t is expected that the men,
bers of city council will pass the
legislation at their regular meet
ing Monday and that the i'm
provements will be made before
the opening of the Local IL Soft
ball League, which will probably
be the strongest league in the
city this year.
In making his strong appeal
to the committee-of-th f-the-whole,
Councilman Burke showed his
interest in the city's athletes, and
athletics in general, when he
literally carried the BALI for 4
them.
Members of some of Local IL
softball teams, the Old Timers
Baseball Association, and other
civic organizations assembled in
the council chambers urging the
approval of the measure. The
group was greatly pleased by the
action taken by the members of
council.

Jai-AIai May Be
Coming North

1t is thought that Jai-Alai, a
Cuban game similar to our hand
ball, but played with a sort of
basket attached to the hand and
wrist, would be popular in the
states if betting on the
games were allowed. Jai-Alai, a
fascinating game to watch, is
played in Miami during the win
ter months, with betting pretty
heavy at times.
