Inc gas company has sent OUT
its annual "leave the pilot lit"
letter, the bills for swimming
pool dues have been mailed, and
every jelly glass we own is oc'
cupied by pollywog, but har-
bingers to the contrary, summer
is evidently long way off. The
frost last week caught us with
out pumkin and our petunias
with their windbreak down, but
If the weather ever does straight
en- up and fly right, Twinbrook
will be ready for it.
The city recreation program
will get underway at the various
Fairgrounds in the area on June
25 and will last until August az.
There will be bigger and better
program for the children. AL
though we have come to expect
this, we were SURPRISED at Mr.
Moran's tennis program.
We have been eagerly await
ing the construction of courts at
Twinbrook Park and at the same
time have been apprehensive
about the possible abuse of clay
courts by children who could not
appreciate them.
Mr.. Moran is planning to have
practice boards (backstops) added
to the blacktop areas, SO children
can practice or play Informally
at their own playground. The
clay courts already finished in
Rockcrest and other areas will
be carefully supervised and their
use will be scheduled for both
instruction and play.
Bert SauleY, who was captain
or his tennis team in college, will
act as rowing instructor, giving
lessons at each of the play
grounds throughout the city.
While he is teaching the children
how to hold the racket and the
fundamentals of the game itself,
he will also impart the all-im-
portant appreciation of the court
surface and of the use of correct
equipment.
When the children are ready
for the clay courts. they will
have a chance to play in other
areas, even if Twinbrook's are
not finished. This will still be
under Mr.. Sauley's guidance, and
it is hoped we may have enough
talent to have a tournament at
the end of the season.
Although nothing is definite
yet, Mr.. Moran expects to have a
swimming program arranged by
the first week in July in addition
to all the usual arts and crafts
and sports for younger children.
While the city program is for
Sabotage children, the three to
five year-olds will have a sum.
mer recreation program of their
own, under the leadership of the
Homemakers Clubs. Clubs I and
III will sponsor the group at
Twinbrook Park. and the Home.
maker II Club will entertain the
youngsters at the Calvin Area.
There will be a new jungle
gym and large size building
blocks at the Twinbrook Park
area when it opens on July 8.
Registration will be on July 2,
and the group will meet from 9
to IL am. each Tuesday, Wednes.
day and Thursday during July
and August.
Mary Jean Bonham is the new
president of Homemaker II Club,
which is planning to have its
final meeting of the year on June
&c luncheon at Iron Gate Inn.
Or June 2 the Homemaker
Club win have its final meeting,
breaffast at Brook Johns
Manor Country Club. This will
be broadcast on station WIDOW al
6 o'clock. Members should be al
the club by $3.50 so they can en-
jov the breakfast provided by the
Safeway Stores. before the pro
gram gets underway.
At the Nav meeting this grouu
had a program on outdoor cook
ing. Neva Woelk attended food
leaders course at Gaithersbure
and then passed on what she had
learned about barbequed chicken
fish in foil, etc.
The meeting was held at the
home Of Mrs. Claude Cross and
