"The total cost to the North- east Kiwanis club was about $300." That money rented the coliseum and provided a security force. Kiwanians Russ Miller and Glenn Mercer, along with ' Kathryn Anderson, the wife of a Kiwanian, arranged for publicity,displays,and the use of the coliseum.They were aided by committees made up of Kiwanians, members of the community, and senior citizens. ' For eight months before the event the committees met monthly to plan their roles and chart their progress. "Committee chairmen regularly visited senior citizen or- ganizations and meeting places throughout the city to en- courage them to supply their arts and crafts projects," says lieutenant governor John. "The area newspapers were kept supplied with articles and photos, and they ran them as the plans for the fair developed." Other publicity ' included radio announcements for two weeks before the fair and television reports from the fair itself. So enthusiastic was the response of the crowds of people attending (they liked the artwork and bought it) .and the exhibitors themselves, that the Kiwanians are planning to sponsor the fair again in 1976.

Noting the land is used by "two flag foot- ball teams, two Pee Wee football teams and nine soccer teams," she said, "There is no other land north of Harwood Road which could be used for the same purpose ... there is just no other place to go." Several residents suggested the courts be located in city-owned Lakewood Park, south of the school site. Councilman Charles Hunt explained the steeper slope on the city land would increase the total cost to $50,000, which he termed "prohibitive." Park board member Rev. Elden Traster went further. "If you decide to put the courts on the city land, you're going to scuttle the whole project. The facility would be ' cracked and broken in five vears." *a a (!

In seeking a $304,249 grant from the U. S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, Euless officials proposed to de- velop the park in two phases on 41 acres of land in the north section of the city. COG staff, in submitting the proposal to the executive board, noted the plan is consis- tent with regional open space policies and would "make good use of an environmental corridor." However, the staff report ex- pressed concern about the level of funding sought, that it was "quite high" and might decrease the chances of success of the grant application.

"Every inch of that land (at Lakewood) is used for something," said Mrs. Cheryl Tali- aferro, who presented a letter of protest with some 170 signatures to the council. Noting the land is used by "two flag foot- ball teams, two Pee Wee football teams and nine soccer teams," she said, "There is no other land north of Harwood Road which could be used for the same purpose ... there is just no other place to go.". Several residents suggested the courts be Iodated in city-owned Lakewood Park, south of the school site. Councilman Charles Hunt explained the steeper slope on the city land would increase the total cost to $50,000, which he termed "prohibitive." Park board member Rev. Elden Traster went further. "If you decide to put the courts on the city land, you're going to scuttle the whole project.

REAL AUSTERITY Ma for Don Dodson, Bedford's roving r ambas.,ador, signed another proclamation the other day along with the mayors from Hurst and Euless. The customary picture was being taken at the Daily News, and just as photographer Steve Digby was ready to snap the shutter, he was interrupted. Dodson glanced at the proclamation al" from Euless being held by Mayor Pro Tem Willie Mae McCormick, who was subbing for Mayor Harold Samuels. Bedford's mayor, who has a reputation of never wasting an opportunity to plug his city even at the expense of the others, was in his usual d;vilish form. Noting the smaller size of the Euless do- cument cc mpared to the largar and more or- nately de signed Bedford proclamation, Dod- son needled Mrs. McCormick about the state of economic affairs in Euless. An interested on-looker and Bedford tax- payer entered the conversation with this comment: "I live in Bedford and would be interested in knowing why so much money is being spent on those elaborate proclamation posters."

McCormick holds a branch of a tree covered with white blossoms. Two of his trees got their seasons mixed up and thought it was spring when rain came after a long dry spell and the weather warmed upagain after some cool days. Besides being covered with blossoms, they also had clusters of hard fruit the size of marbles.After McCormick set apple and•pear trees out in 1949, they were frozen to the ground in 1950. These trees sprouted from the hardy root stock.
