Resolutions Of Respect.

The Wesley Bible Glass Of the
Latta Methodist Sunday School lost
in the death of Brother D. Mel. Be-
thea one Of its truest and most con
secrated members. He has always
taken a deep spiritual and material
interest in the class and all its af-
fairs.
Such exemplification Of Christian
living is worthy of the highest COM
mendation. Therefore, in paying a
tribute to our. deceased classmate let
us Resolve,
That we commend his consecrated
christian life to the other members
of the class and that we may ever
keep in mind that, while he has
been taken from US, his influence
and prayers are still with US.
That we inscribe a page of our min
ute book to his memory.
That copy Of these resolutions be
sent to the bereayed family and to

tower twelve feet high and spring
board secured by cement block
which weighs a ton. A diving raft
a platform ten feet square supported
by four empty barrels tightly corked
floats in the water. Electric lights
arc strung around the banks. The
pool capacity is 100000 gallons.
Fresh water, which the city helped
pipe from its 100000 gallon res
ervoir, built three years ago, runs in
continually. A paid life-guard is al
ways on duty. There is bath house
equipped with showers and with "A
lockers for men and % for women.
The cost of the pool was about $5,-
600. One half of this has already been
raised by season tickets. The man
agement charges 25 cents swim for
adults, Is cents for children and 1O
cents apiece for sterilized bathing
suits. AS Mr.. Warner sees 1t, there
is no. reason why such a pool should
not be a paying proposition in this
or in any other tCwE Of similar size
and location.
Only one who has lived in the small
inland town of the middle west can
realize what such a pool means to the
people. 1t has already become COM
munity center for wholesome recrea-
ton. From 800 to 1000 persons daily
have enjoyed the pool since its open
ing. Farm women drive in for a swim
between chores. Tourists welcome any
delay that permits a dip in the tempt
ing water. And best of all the boys
are being kept out of mischief by this
return of the "ole swimmin' hole"

nkcREAr1oN FOR THE BOYS.
How o Western Town Solved the
bad Boy" Problem In It's
Community. 3.

Boys are full of energy and they
have amusement. The boy, like the
steam engine, must have a pop-off
valve. If there is no way Of letting Oft
the surplus energy the boy is in dan
ger. Many petty crimes are committed
by boys because they have no form OF
amusement. 1t is better not to close
the pool rooms and loafing places if
some other form of amusement is not
provided. The following story from
"The Farmers Wife" tells how Mis-
souri, town solved the bad boy prob
lem:
"Any hot summer afternoon within
the last twenty or thirty years one
could run upon group of old men
sitting in the shade of the court house
In Chillicothe Missouri, talking long
; ingly of the old ..'swimmin' hole" OF
their youth. :.
But the merry days of youth is beyond
our control;
And it's hard to part forever with the
swimmin' hole. "
Down in Butts pasture, mile
southwest of town it lay, bounded by
groves of maple, elm and beech; here
also grew hickory and sycamore, dog
wood and hazel brush. Long before
his death, old man Butts, peace to his
ashes, filled the hole with hedge
brush and placarded his pasture with
warnings to trespassers. And since
that day, Ch:llicothe, with popula-
tion Of 10000, has been without a
swimming hole, country club or any
other outdoors recreation place.
While the old men dreamed Of other
times, the boys Of today loafed about
the streets. Daily, arrests were made
for petty crimes and in almost every
instance the offenders were young
boys who had nothing to do and no
p}6ne to go.
About a year ago the citizens of
town raided and closed two whiskey
Joints masquerading as drug stores
but after this negative attempt toward
making the boys good, all interest in
the subject seemed to vanish until
June, q year ago, when Howard War
ner, q Chillicothe citizen and business
man looking over his 1s-acre subur-
ban tract, which compromised old
Buttes' pasture, remembered that In
the hollow at the foot Of the hill there
once was a natural "ole swimmin'
hole"
Howard Warner went on thinking;
IL he could sell ESQ season tickets at
$4,000 each, good for so swims this
year or next, he could build modern
swimming pool and give the boys OF
town something to do, the people OF
town a place to play. In two days he
had sold $50 tickets and two months
later, a big. tile-walled pool 100x150
feet was opened to the public.
The natural topography Of the pas.
ture reduced the amount Of e1cavat-
ing required for pool two feet deep
enc end, for the kiddies, and nine feet
deep at the other. It has a sand-cov-
cred cement floor and its sides are
lines with hollow building tiles made
ut q local plant. There is diving
