WHY THE DELAY? "Time flies," think Gretchen Slenger (left), of 4 Fair Oaks Pkwy., and Sharen and Harry Kelly, of 1158 Baldwin Ave., as they wait impatiently while the power shovel prepares the wading pool at Burns Park. The wading pool is being constructed as a civic project at the expense of the Ann Arbor Kiwanis Club, as is another pool at West Side Park. The pools will serve to relieve the no-swimming situation Ann Arbor kiddies have come to realize since the pollution of the Huron river due to war-created sewage conditions at Dexter.

JUST IN TIME FOR A CHRISTMAS TREE: Gretchen and her mother, Mrs. Walworth Rood Slenger of 718 Haven Ave., the former Margaret McComber are shown above. Gretchen was born on Dec. 7 and doesn't quite appreciate her first little Christmas tree. She is a granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred T. McOmber of Fair Oaks parkway and the great granddaughter of Otis H. McOmber and Elizabeth Minnis McOmber, both of whom were born here of pioneer families.
