RICHMOND, INDIANA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2,

MANY ENJOY CHILD SWIMMER IN CITY Large numbers of people gathered at the new Draver out-door swimming pool on East Main street during the hours on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, August 19, 20 and 21 when Marcia Burke, seven years old gave a demonstration of swimming and diving. Marcia began swimming when two and one half years of age, and is now a member of the American swimming team. She. is planning to be one of the swimmer3 in 1921 when the International Olympic games are held in Paris. She also is scheduled to go to Panama during the coming winter to take part in a swimming exhibition there. Marcia's home is in Fort Worth, Texas. She has already won many hon ors for her physical development' which is thought to be due to her swimming and other physical training exercises. She jumps the rope for a certain length of time every morning before breakfast. Her highest dive in deep water is said to be 43 feet. Among the different strokes, demonstrated by Marcia were the American crawl, the Honolulu crawl, the Duke of Honolulu face crawl, the- overarm, the breact stroke and the Australian back crawl. In addition to this she gave a swan dive from the highest diving platform, demonstrated life-saving, under water swimming and toward the end of her exhibition swam the width of tho pool tied up hands and feet like a parcel post package. Marcia gave her exhibition with marked poise, yet with a simple naturalness that pleased her audience.

Kamp Kwerks

Can possums bite? Ask Perry. Boys at camp really know what it is to "play possum" now. Three bridges were built at Camp Ki-Ro during the first four periods, the junior periods, of camp. During the junior periods of camp, a total of 3903 meals were served. There were 144 boys at tending camp during this period. "Company" seems to have been the usual thing at Ki-Ro. During the first camp period, 198 visitors were welcomed and during the second, 247 visitors. Ice tea was unceremoniously dubbed "rainwater" and "brown ice water" by the junior campers. Campers have found 43 different species of trees on Kl-Ro's grounds. If you want to start an immediate quarrel, just ask casually, of a group of boys, who camped at KK Ro, "who was the best leader?" Many boys made the discovery in camp that corn bread and beans make good grub. ANNOUNCEMENT! Saturday, September 9 instead of Wednesday as it has been and every Saturday after that as long as the weather is favorable will be free swimming day for the chil dren of Richmond, Mr. Parker, manager of Hawkins' Pool, an nounced Thursday.
