PLAYFIELD HAS PICNIC
The children who gathered on
the Territorial school grounds for
supervised play Saturday after
noon were pleasantly surprised
when the supervisors in charge
for the day announced a beach
picnic. On the beach below the
Wallace Hotel the children en
joyed the warm sand while Gary
Langly built the camp fire for the
weenie roast. Time to go home
came altogether too soon. We hope
to have more such pleasant after

Attendance on the playfield the
past week has been very good.
This week we plan to practice for
the Fourth of July events. We
urge all children who can to at
tend.

bration and performed a cleverly
planned mock wedding.
