As has been the case for the past three years, the school district dis-trict will pay the playground director's salary and the Legion Le-gion post will pay for bus transportation trans-portation of boys to Copperton and back and for necessary equipment, incidental expenses and trips to the American Legion junior baseball tournaments. The Community Chest budget as set-up for this year allows $250 for the Copperton playground play-ground and $150 for the American Ameri-can Legion baseball program.
