use the Englewood, Richmond and

NTA, under the supervision ot
W. L. Andrews, superintendent
of buildings and gronnds for the
city school system, has painted
the bath houses and swimming
pools of both plants, and Gilmore
pronounces them in first class con
dition.
A rest room in the Leslie grove
has been completed, by WPA, and
one at Olinger is nearing,. com
pletion. The picnic ; grounds at
both places have been cleaned to
splc-and-8pan condition, and the
fireplaces rebuilt. These grounds
are available to any groups for
picnic purposes, Gilmore an
nounces, but requests that reser
vations be made as far in advance
as possible.
Superintendent Gilmore, whose
office will be in the superinten
dent of schools building at 434
North High, believes the program
that will be offered this summer
will far exceed that of any pre
vious year. Last year, despite con
tinued cold, wet weather, 172.000
participated. This year, Gilmore
believes, that with the increased
activities on the program, last
year's figure will be substantially
bettered.
