Show Town Installs 'Sprinkle to Cool Off the Kids The City Council has installed a "sprinkle" on the high school grounds for the benefit of the children to cool off under. The water will be turned on each day from 3 to 7. The. sprinkler is located on the corner of the high school grounds across from the First Ward church, and the spray goes across that end of the tennis court. Monday afternoon after-noon by 4 p. m. there was a goodly crowd of children there, and more coming. Costumes ranged from o-veralls o-veralls and dreses to the latest in briefs and trunks and slits. The "sprinkle" is one of the most popular spots in town with the youngsters, and fills a long-felt need. Any hot afternooon, what a . pleasure to these young folks, sporting in the cool water. No skill nor fancy equipment is necessary, all that is required is just to run back and forth, fast or in slow motion, mo-tion, according to your tastes. Or you can stand still and catch it right jn the face, or down the back, or even flop down on the cement court floor, and let it pelt the length len-gth of you. Parents won't need to wonder now what to do with their children the latter part of the afternoon, aft-ernoon, just send them up to the sprinkle awhile. And if they are among those missing for awhile, just look for them at the sprinkle. |
