The Speedway Playground Things are moving along nicely at the playground. The shelter house will soon be completed and p few other improvements will be added as we get to them. The children are, for the most part, conforming to the rules and all seem to be having a lot of fun and absorbing a lot of sunshine. There were some bottles broken at the side of the shelter house during the week-end by some thoughtless boys. Thinks like this might cause a serious injury to some child. The broken glass has all been cleaned up and we hope that the boys will think and not do it again. Our local police wilh take care of any boys who do things like this in the future. Are there children in our community who would like to go on a bird hike? If so, let the supervisor know and a time will lie arranged. One thing to remember is that birds are like people in that they like to get their work done before it gets too hot. Bird hikes, from pecessity, would have to be rather early in the morning, say from seven to nine o’clock. The locale would probably be out along Eagle Creek. Five or six children with some adults would make a nice group. If more than a dozen wanted to go we could divide into two groups. Have you a pair of field glasses? They aid wonderfuly in identifying birds. Quiet and slow, easy walking are the essentials of a good bird hike. Well, let’s hear from you if you are interested. H. V. Raquet, Supervisor.

We’re Often Wrong Maybe you didn’t notice it! Last week’s FLYER carried a story with a “Wrong-Way Corrigan” headline. The article telling of the resignation of Mr. Hole from the town board was headed “C. H. HOLE RETURNS TO TOWN BOARD”. Now to straighten it all out. Mr. Hole has resigned from the town board because of bad health. He has been on this board for about a year and has done splendid work there. We all heard of his leaving with sincere regret. We hope that his physical condition improves rapidly. Now about that new board member. Mr. John Leonard returns to the board. He served for many years in that capacity and he did a real job, too. It was heartening news to know that he had accepted the position again. The entire town is happy to have you back on the board, John! There are no “rookie”dollars. Send yours to the front! Buy U. S.
