Every time I pass by this spot I have been in hopes that somethinngg h*ua d been done to make it presentable, but what do I see? Instead of park benches, tables, flower bed* and a pier for the convenience of those who have no water front property, I find brush piles, tall grass, weeds and old hulks of cars and boats. In other words, it looks like a dumping ground. The excuse may be mad* by those in charge to give them time, but here we are with summer already on the wane and Labor Day soon upon us and nothing done. We taxpayers don't mind voting appropriations and improvements but we feel that our public officials who are the custodians of such property should do their part in. managing the same.

Vitamin C is needed to prevent hemorrhages in all parts of the body, to keep the teeth and gums healthy, to aid in the development of the bones and to serve as an aid in the general resistance to infection. Vitamin C is stressed somewhat more than other vitamins at times because ascorbic acid is water solubl$ and may pass from a food into ! {Ke water in which that food is standing or is being cooked. It also comes into the spotlight more often because vitamin C is what is called "unstable." By "unstsble" nutritionists mean that in the presence ct free air the form, of ascorbic acid which can be used by the body is changed to a form that cannot be used by ^hc human body. Also the body cannot store ascorbic acid for future use as it does, some oth^r nutrients, such as fat. For these reasons it is important that some vitamin C be eaten each day or, if that is not possible, that it should never be absent from the diet for long periods of time. The most common sources of vitamin C are citrus fruits and green vegetables. ^ STEAL TEN TIRES Burglars and hijackers have been active in 'the Grayelake vicinity the past week.
