SWIMMING POOL
DRIVE GETS OFF
TO GOOD START

Putin Bay Day Queen
BY Isle Students

Mayor Carl Becker's campaign
for swimming and wading pools is
off to a big start with over 500
books of tickets all ready sold for

ming, May 8, as climax of Put
in-Bay ceremonies.

high school classmates to reign
as Queen of the Put-in-Bay cere-
monies. Patty Powers and Aud
rey Klopp will be her attendants.
The "Mystic Isle" will arrive at
1870, bringing Put-in-Bay resi-
dents and dignitaries. The ferry
will be escorted into the harbor
by flight of planes from the air
port, led by Bunny Twynham, and
the high school band will greet
the islanders at the dock.
This years gigantic parade will
not get underway until 6 p. m.,
thus giving visitors time to shop.
After the parade, the floats will go
