The program in cludes considerable planting of trees for shade, fences covered with vines, adequate parking space for cars and a sandy .shore for the youngsters. Sand is being hauled to the lake front this week. Officials of the Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce said this week that they wanted to make the lake availabfe and attractive to all residents of the section, and asked The Pilot to ex tend a general invitation to the pub lic to use the lake and beach for .swimming and recreational purposes.
