Recon Point Park. fresh from the

ly opened for the season over the
week end and thousands of N9"
walkers and residents of surrounh
ing towns. including Bridgeport and
Stamford. and New York City, visit-

with the many attractive changes.
Semi-cloudy weather yesterday
did not keep many away. for it was

Saturday evening. the dance hall
was comfortably filled for the first
dance of the season. Volk’s erotics-
tra played.
Possibly the most interesting of
the improvements is the new 'Scoot-

ilar to tho “Witching Waves." of
old. Here. there was always a line
of children and adults, waiting for
their chance to propel an electrical.

others. on the Scooterfloor. None
were able to accomplish this feat.
Never has Roton Point Park look-
ed so beautiful as this year. with
the budding and blossoming trees. a.
perfect setting for the newly painted
green and white buildings.
Very few ventured in the chilly
water for a swim.
There has been little change in
the personnel at the park this year.
Most of the courteous and obliging
help of former years have been re-
tained.
It is interesting to‘ note that Mrs.
Emma Piahl begins her 34th season
as manager of the candy. cigarette
and novelty stand. .
The booking list for excursions to
the park this season is fast filling
up. and a busy summer is assured.
