Dates Are Set

The Aquarama Water Follies Of

Sports Arena, July % through
August l, according to an an
nouncement made today by w. II.
Kirk, General Manager of the
Aquarama Festival. Contracts for
| the Aquarama Event were signed
this week in Toledo.
Sam Snyder, General Manager
of the Water Follies" will pre-
sent a water ballet, diving, swim
ming and musical show featuring
aquatic stars and champions aided
by musicians, singers and COM
edians Mr.. Snyder presented the
Aquarama Water Follies in 1947
which proved highly successful
and his 194S Follies, which has
been enlaged, will feature many of
last years stars, he said.
Two huge portable tanks, re-
putedly the largest of their kind
| in the world, will be installed at
the Sports Arena for the Water
Follies, Mr.. Snyder said. There
will also be a huge theatrical
stage for the Follies cast works
on an orthodox stage as we'll as in
the diving and swimming tanks
Final agreements for installation
of the tanks and presentation of

| Follies at the Sports Arena was
made by an Aquarama executive
committee which included Mr.. Kirk,
Bernard r. Baker ii, and Harlan
Hobbs. While the 1947 Aquarama
Follies were quite successful in
the Scott Park pool, the Sports
+ Arena was chosen because it offers
better seating, parking facilities,
trained personnel for serving the
public and eliminates the danger
of loss due to weather Mr.. Kirk
said.
Among the stars who will ap-
pear in the cast Of the 1948
Aquarama Water Follies will be
Peter Flick Olympic Champion and
holder of the 100 meter free-style

OVER THE
BACK FENCE
BY MARGUERITE FINEFRoCK

~ Hiya Neighbor-While standing
mere observing the weather, rain
that is, a passerby tossed this
query at US, 'Do you think the rain
will hurt the rhubarb ?" Strangely
enough we hadn't given it a
thought! But off-hand we'd say,
NO, not unless the hot sun comes
out eventually to cook the plants
and then it's our guess you'll be
able to point with pride to your bed
of rhubarb sauce. Maybe that's a
Hittle far fetched but it's the best
we can do on such short notice .
The rain may never ruin the rhu-
barb but it sure ruins the dispo-
sition of those who have to
tramp around in it, and particular
ly those who've spent most of the
week bailing out their Easements.
Of course you could be optomistic,
like Mac McGill, and refer to this
dewy atmosphere as "liquid sun
sr ,hine" but the average guy is sat
listed to call spade a spade and
in words of one syllable refers to
it as damp rain.
