WHO CAUGHT WHOM?—Six -year-old Philip
Holt this week caught a bass which was more
than a handful to handle. The bigmouth bass
weighed an even 11 pounds. Philip was using a
dry fly with a bream hook on a spinning rod
when he hooked the big one Tuesday afternoon.
It took him and his father, City Utilities Super
intendent Ralph Holt, about 15 minutes to land
the whopper. They won’t say exactly where they
caught him. They just say it was a local farm
pond.—Yarborough Photo.

Summer Playground
Program Offered

BY JOHN BINGHAM
YMCA DIRECTOR
In this article I am bringing
you the last in a series of re
ports dealing with the proposed
YMCA Summer Program. For
the last three weeks I have dis
cussed the ‘Y’Program involving
Aquatics, Day Camping, and
Team Sports. Today I would like
to discuss with you briefly what
the ‘Y’ is planning in the way
of summer Playgrounds.
The YMCA feels that it has a
responsibility to the people it
serves in the Clinton and Jo
anna Communities to offer a pro
gram of supervised Playgrounds.
The Playgounds will be run on
a scheduled basis within a par
ticular community with planned
activities. The Playground will
be open to all members of the
people within the area. All child
ren who are of school age may
take part in the Playground
activities and be under the super
vision of the Playground Di
rector. Any child under school
age may visit the Playground if
accompanied by a parent and will
remain under the supervision of
the parent throughout the Play
ground period.
The activities of each play
ground will be planned to give
each child an experience in
wholesome physical activity
geared to promote cooperation in
playing with one another.
The Playground Program is
planned to get under way the week
following the close of school or
soon thereafter. Announcements
will be made in each neighborhood
as to the time and days that
Playground will be offered in each
community. In any area where
Playgrounds are offered, the
attendance should be such as to
merit the time and cost of its
operation. If in the judgement of
the supervisory staff, there is
not enough participation, the
Playground may be terminated.
It is planned at present to have
Playgrounds in the following
areas: Clinton High School, Pine
Street School Grounds, Hampton
Avenue School, Providence
School at Lydia, Joanna School,
and Bailey School. Playground
will run during the morning hours
from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.,
with the exception of Clinton
High School area Playground.
This Playground will run from
9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon, and
from 2:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.,
Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Instruction classes in archery
and tennis will be offered at the
High School Playground each
afternoon Monday through F ri
day. Any child wishing to receive
instruction in these two sports
must come to the High School
Playground.
A complete Playground Sche
dule will be listed in the YMCA
Summer Program Brochure
which will be out very shortly.
Let me say again that Play
gounds will be run according to
the interest shown by the
community and also the avail
ability of staff Personnel.
This concludes all the areas
of the Summer Program, swim
ming, day camping, team sports,
and playgrounds. Individual
announcements will be given as
these programs are developed so
the public will be kept up to
date. If there are any questions
you might have about any phase
of Program, please

When There's No Will
BY RICHARD GANTT
ATTORNEY
PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE
The property of a deceased re
sident of this state who leaves
no will is distributed in an arbi
trary manner that may not coin
cide with his wishes.
If the husband dies without a
will, leaving a wife and two child
ren, the wife receives one third
and the children two thirds. This
means the children must concur
in the dispensation of any pro
perty.
If the wife dies without a will,
her estate will be handled in the
same manner.
One half of the man’s proper
ty goes to the wife when there
are no children or grandchildren.
The other half is divided among
his parents, brothers and sis
ters. Nieces and nephews receive
their deceased parents’ share,
but this does not apply to great
nieces or great nephews.
If the man’s parents are not
living, then his brothers, sis
ters and their descendents take
the full remaining half. Here
again, nieces and nephews in
herit their deceased parents’
share.
Half brothers and half sisters
receive the remaining half when
neither parents, nor whole
brothers or sisters survive. The
children of any whole brother or
sister share in this distribution.
There are many other complex
arrangements that could happen.
