A large number of the children articipated in games, running races, jumping events, after which they donned bathing suits and enjoyed the coolness of the water in the swimming nool. The call to sup- per was then Sounded and the Women served about 100 guests. Mr. Moore, president of the Lyon Park Civio Association, and family were lionor guests.
