Jo, Ed Geslin, John Tiggas, [-fary, Darlene, Gloria, Dale, and the pages

The children's department is having a wild and crazy summer. Seven weeks
of Thursday afternoon filmstrip programs have brought in numerous children
each week. At least 80 children were transformed into some pretty strange-
looking beings when face-painting was offered on July 6. The chalk drawing
competition on the 13th was delightful, with the winners from each differ-
ent age category having some real stiff competition. Each of the 78
participants was assigned one block of the sidewalk to decorate. Entries
were judged by f~ary Kloss and Sharon Hagen on the basis of creativity,
use of space, and design. A game day on the 2Oth featured relay races
and games of all kinds for 82 participants. The puppet shows, which
included "The gunniwolf," "Go away, dog~" "Ernie plays the drums,~' and
"Puppet talent show," on the 27th drew 61 interested observers. The
craft program sponsored by the Recreation Department also drew to a close
after four weeks of kites, puppets, masks, and flowers.
Thanks go to Helen Merrick and Pauline Rusinyak for the pumpkin cakes
they baked for the June senior citizen program. Thanks also go to Harie
Eng, Helen Merrick, Ruth Miller, and Pauline Rusinyak for helping to
serve,

Good news on reprehensible bad guys! From February through June, Gloria
has sent out 53 warning letters~ 24 attorney letters~ 11 second warning
letters, and only 7 final notices. This means all her hard work is not
in vain because we are getting back our materials. (For all you data
fans, that figures out to an ~7% return on the letters sent out.)
