GIRLS MARK HOCKEY FIELD: Shortage of labor has forced Ann Arbor High School's Athletic Club to mark their hockey field at Riverside Park themselves. They found it almost as much fun as playing the game, although they didn't like the feel of lime on their hands.

DREDGE GRAVEL FOR 'WORK BEE': About 65 members of the Ypsilanti Kiwanis Club turned out Saturday for a 7 1/2-hour "work bee" at Riverside Park. They took gravel from the Huron River and used it to lay out parking spaces for about 35 cars, framing the parking areas with logs. Kiwanians also mowed the entire park, trimmed brush long the riverbank and planted about 200 petunias. Here some of the 120 loads of gravel they used in the all-day project is dredged from the river bottom.

QUIRK GARDENS BEING CLEANED UP: Ypsilanti Kiwanis Club members yesterday launched a three-day work bee to restore former large landscaped gardens at the rear of the city's Quirk Home building (top rear), where Municipal Court and other city offices will be located early next month. The garden area, below the large house which the city recently purchased, is fenced and on the same level as the adjoining Riverside Park. Kiwanians working at the site yesterday included (left to right) Samuel W. Walthour, the Rev. William R. Shaw and William C. Durant.
