Scope and Contents

An excerpt from the newspaper clipping reads as follows:

Athletes do not necessarily limit themselves to the gridron, golf course or any other chosen athletic endeavor as proved last Sunday on North Washburn off Oak Park when the senior citizens had their Day. Carl Eller wasn't sacking quarterbacks that day. Instead he was very timidly helping senior citizens find a place to sit, or daintily passing cake and cookies during the picnic interlude.
[...] Ed Manderville's golf clubs were put away for the day as he auctioned off prizes to the group. The entire neighborhood in that North Washburn area opened their lawns and homes to more than 200 senior citizens who thoroughly enjoyed the picnic, games, auction and just plain visiting with each other for several fulfilling hours.
