Ramona Neeley, age 10, and Diana Lin Pickett, age 9, decided the outside of the library building on Lily Lake road looked bad with its various colors of paint and posters. These two dears, with their parent's consent, * started painting the outside of the building at 9:30 a.m., and at 4 p.m., the front and side were completed. The girls used a gallon and a half of paint, donated by the Neeleys, and with one three-inch brush and one one-inch brush, did all the work by themselves. Talk about young people- they are terrific! Romana and Diana have shown us all what effort can do to beautify. Any time you girls want a reference, your favorite librarian will be very happy to write a letter of praise. Bill Fritzsche reported the dredge had passed its last test, and the engines are A-O.K. and run very quietly. Do our residents really realize what having this dredge will do for our lake? Without Herb Fritz- sche's contribution, there would be no way that we could pay for this machinery. Mark Stumpf, professional engineer, is another person who is making our dream possible. He has done the time con suming paperwork with the government agencies, to clear dredging plans with them. Three agencies have sanc tioned our project, with no.four close to agreement. And all in about six months time! What one concerned, giving person can do with a worthwhile goal, is unbelievable. Bless you, Mark. Jerry Weber reported on the clearing of trees in the spoils area.
