In the neighborhood of $4,000 was
raised. Then came calls upon the
citizens for donations to the Red Cross
and Y. NJ. C. A. In the larger ma
tional needs for war purposes the
swimming pool was overshadowed.
Missoula responded splendidly to the
calls for patriotic giving and In each
case subscribed more than the amount
for which she was asked
Now she is to look again to her own
needs. We are pledging support to
the physical reserve movement The

forum is in line with the aims OF

making better home soldiers. to do and
give our best In the lines behind the
trenches.
The ground for the erection Of the
pool has been donated. The money is
largely subscribed. All that is needed
now Is to set the machinery in motion
