The park, when completed, will
make an ideal place for outings.
Fire places are now being built to
permit anyone to cook what they
mag desire. Picnic tables are being
placed around the park, and water
fountains have been placed at various points. A huge fish dam is being
built with a capacity ef two minion
gallons of water. A rifle range will
be constructed and apace will provided for a playground for chilren,
as well aa other amusements. A
substantial road is being built from
the main hgihway leading from
Bellwood to Blandburg. It is proposed to erect a large sign at the entrance to the park.
The cost of the labor for the project is betel borne by a WPA pro-
ject and the material entering into
the construction is to be furnished
by the aportmen'* association, funds
for which wUl be raised by this
drive.
At a regular meeting of the
Sportsmen's association, President

members and citizens to assist In
