The aerafor below the Asholcan Reservoir This View shows the famous aeraior with the Catskill Mountains to the north. New York City has carrie into the Catskill and appropriated the large area ot Asholcan tor use as a Water supply. The toarny white billows ot spray shooting up into the sunlight make a picture no tourist will soon for- get. This process, although very beautiful, is done from a practical standpoint. The Water is partially purified by the clear air and sunshine. Many visitors bring picnic lunches and come to spend an alternoon at the grounds surrounding the aerator. The spicy-smelling pine trees which line the area give an added touch to this combination ot natural and man-made beauty.

Swimming Betsy Finds the Water a Bt! Cool, The young people in the picture above, Betsy Hauessler and Chester Short, are enjoying a swim in one ot the streams which run through the Saugere ties area. Each year when the weather is warm, the younger generation ot Saugerties is privileged in being able to swim in these streams and creeks. As these boys and girls grow up, they Come to know every nook and Cranny ot their old swimming holes, much as a tisherman knows where the trout will bite best. The very special Coves and rapids ot the streams may prove to be a tisherman's joy when the water is chill, but when the summer sun and soft rains warm the water, the swimmers Come into their glory. The stream pictured here is one which flows near Palenville and brings Cold water down from the mountains. Page t3
