Wiich means that there's not mucis to report in the way of activity right now. However, som e of the local citizenry in true country fashion are rnaking their own fun at home. Last weekend Dorothy and Mifce Beer of Ashburn hosted a pool party. The guest list included the executive of thse new Lions Club as weil as out-of- town guests from as far away as Southampton. A couple of rowdy games of volleybail and an even rowdier water polo session not only kept the crowd busy but helped build up some isearty appetites for tise fabulous barbecue supper to folow. As thse old cliche goes, a good tixe was had by ai. For tise kids in the district, the fibrary is featuring a fullUne of activi ties. Tomorrow It is holding a Farmer's Market which starts at 12 noon with a bake sale in front of the library building. At 2: 30 thse other children's activities get under way with ego roiling, a pin tise tail on the pig game and a no-isand jeilo eating contest. The winner of the best cookie maker competition wiil be announced; there will be bailoons offered for sale by thse library's very own clown as weil as grab bags of books for both aduits and children, popcorn, fudge, candy apples and lemnonade. Ailtihe ares kids are invlted to corne along and bring their friends and lots of pennies to join in tise fun and games. Brooklin Kinsmen announced that the winners of two of their reent draws are as folows: in June, Paul Brown won tise lawrnower and on Juiy 5, Dave Sisankiand was tise recipient of tis e Wiseeibarrow Ful of Cheer.
