WORK DETAIL Volunteers who turned out to work on the Columbian School playground project paused for a picture around the new sign designating the project.

The brush has mostly been cleared and a great amount of fill has been hauled In, though much more is needed. A two-level development is planned, accord ing to committee chairman Raymond Smock. Already, enougk level space has been created for off-street parking for teachers' ears (o relieve traffic congestion on the narrow streets near the school.
