Park’s Big Private Picnic Grove In Demand by Various Churches; Many Outings Booked This Year Picnic Grounds Enlarged to Handle Increas ing Picnic Business—Picni<5 Super intendent Serves Guests. ■s INDICATIONS- point to a record breaking picnic sea son at Krug Park which this season is making a spe cialty of catering to big picnics such as are held by ! churches, lodges, clubs and business organizations. Although the picnic season is in its infancy, hundreds of picnics already have been booked. With several thousand feet of new picnic tables in addition to the three thousand feet installed in previous seasons, with acres and acres of luxuriously shaded picnic groves, fully equipped with char coal and gas stoves, indoor and outdoor kitchens, Krug Park is a veritable picnicker’s paradise. Krug Park is equipped to han dle a crowd of 15,000 picnickers at one time. New picnic grounds have been installed and a picnic superintendent gives excursion ists and picnickers his personal attention. Krug Park’s picnic grounds arc ; kept spotlessly clean and are pic-I torinlly healthful. A large private i picnic grove has been installed to : take care of crowds that desire pri-! vacy in their picnics. It is situ- j ated in a beautiful spot in the park that overlook the swimming pool and sand beach. Singers at Park, Thursday. The German Singers of Omaha j will give a concert at Krug Park Thursday, June 5, before leaving for Chicago where the local Saen- j gerfest will be this city’s repre sentation in the national Jubilee i Snengerfest. , Over one hundred trained voices j make up the Omaha German sing- i ers, directed by Theodore R. Reese. The program at Krug Park will include several of the numbers i which the verein has been prac- j ticing this winter in preparation for the national conclave. Swimming Classes at Krug Proving Popular More than 200 persons are en rolled in the life saving and swim ming classes at Kurg Park in ad dition to several hundred more swimming enthusiasts who are registered in park classes or are taking private lessons. Classes are conducted daily at the pool, both morning and eve ning. There are classes for men, wo men and children. f Nurses Enjoy a Dip i These are some of the Nicholas Senn nurses, expert swimmers, who enjoyed the Krug Park pool at its opening recently. Their hospital has one of the finest in door pools of the city. Though water is water, the nurses declare they enjoy a dip with the sky as a roof. Krug Park has the finest out door pool in the middle west. Pool Water so Pure Chemists Say Drink It When the water has been fil tered and ozonated it is again sterilized by liquid chlorine just before it is returned to the pool. Chlorinating is the most effi cient method of water steriliza tion known to modern science. It is the only method considered suf ficiently reliable for sterilizing municipal drinking water supplies. Nearly every large city in Amer ica uses it. Omaha’s water sup ply is chlorinated and thereby ren dered pure enough for drinking purposes and the pool chemists actually drink it in preference to other water. Aside from the fact that chlo rine destroys bacteria it also im parts germicidal properties to the water, which properties the water retains for an extended period of time. By treating the water con tinually with chlorine, as is done at Krug Park swimming pool, the water in the pool is at all times charged with chlorine, so that any contamination that might be car ried into the pool by swimmers is instantly destroyed and rendered ineffective. iOnly the Best Sold at Park' ' “Best of Everything” Is Slo gan of Buyer for Park Patrons. “The Best of Everything’’ is | the Krug Park motto in making 1 purchases for its patrons. This policy, under which Fred Inger soll has operated parks for many seasons applies to the buying of amusements and attractions and also beverages and commodities j dispensed at the soft drink coun ters and the lunch room. I People of discriminating taste need but glance at the firms | whose advertising is telling Krug 1 Park visitors that they sell the park their goods, to see that goods of quality are handled there. Fairmount Creamery sells thou 1 sands of gallons of Delieia ice 1 cream to patrons there each year, j At the lunch counter there are ; made tempting sandwiches with : bread from Peterson-Pegau and | from the Schultz Baking com. ! panies, and the finest cuts of meat from Buehler Brothers. Good coffee is the mainstay and the cause of worry on the mind of any one who feeds the public. Cof ' fee will bring customers back J again for another lunch, ilrug ! Park buys a special brand of cof I fee from the Douglas Coffee com pany that measures up well to the | Douglas slogan of “genuine satis ; factiop and coffee contentment. Thfe^-eal figures on the amount | of candy that is sold each year at | Krug Park arc astounding. Gordon Rainalter, an Omaha concern,'and | Chase Candy Co. of St. Louis, Mo., have the lion's share of the business. Their candies have held thier popularity for several sea son3. Popcorn in Boxe». Selling popcorn used to be con sidered a small business. But it has gotten to be such'a big affair at amusement parks that nowadays they put it up fresh and sweet in specially made cartons in place of the old paper bag. And they use Nebraska grown pcpcorn to a great extent. Swanee River Ride Thru Tropical Scenes The Swanee River ride is one of | the popular attractions at the park. In 10 minutes’ ride down “Swanee River” the riders float through all sorts of entrancing tropical scenes. Public Invited to Inspect Treating Plant This season the park manage j ment announced that the public is invited to see its big water puri fying plant in operation.
