Let's Look Around

Relieved of these flood worries Richlanders' thoughts turned to lighter things. Local youth activities were the recipients of benefits from the first annual Turtle Derby. 200 turtles imported from the hills of Tennessee provided an interesting afternoon and evening for those habitues of the racing profession. Model auto racing and miniature airplanes took over the interest of their enthusiasts. The ever popular stables and the evening softball under the lights provides welcome recreation for both participants and observers. In late summer a new swimming pool exploded into being as a non-profit organization was incorporated to build and manage this much needed facility. The accelerated installation of new facilities in North Richland made news with the opening of grocery, drug and department stores. The organization of the North Richland Improvement Association bade fair to make the construction workers' community a model one.
