The campaign for the swimming
pool started out we'll today.
Committees found the sentiment rs
they expected people are heartily In
favor of the pool and are willing to
make some financial sacrifice to give
It to the boys and girls Of the city.
Reports on the campaign were made
at luncheon at o'clock, at the
Elks hall. Busy committeeman hardly
stopped long enough to grab a bite to
eat before resuming task they found
not unpleasant because Of the manner
In which they were received.
The campaign will end tomorrow
night, the Elks believe. There may be
some visits after that as they want
to bring every person in the city into
the campaign for the support of the
pool.
= Generous SO, SIS, $25 and $50 con-
tributions were reported. many per-
sons indicating a willingness to more
than meet the average of SO for each
family in the city necessary to make
the campaign success.
Although the protection accorded
the boys of the city through having a
pool where there are trained attend
ants has been emphasized, yet the
pool will be as much for the young
girls of the city as for the boys, and
adults will have pleasure splashing in
1t too.

ported by the workers at their lunch

building and met the manager Of an
insurance agency outside. In talking

that the man already had given $25 to
the boys and they didn't solicit him.
"Why, l told those boys Id 60 to a

Such incidents were numerous. The
committeeman repeated any number

Value to Girls.
Swimming is excellent exercise for
girls because it brings SO many Of the
muscles into play" said Mrs. Fannie
Dunn Quain, asked to expressed her
views. 1T inspires courage and con-
fidence in self besides cultivating har-
mony OF motion which we commonly
call grace Many girls are surprised
to discover the endurance they de-
velop in the water. This knowledge OF
their limitations is fine thing for
them to know before planning their
life work. The troop of Girl Scouts
are keenly interested in the prospect
of a swimming pool. They, like the
boys, have certain water stunts to
peform before they can reach the top
in the organization and this will be
their opportunity. The girls are help
ing and boosting and will hail the
completion of the 'Swimmin' Hole
with great joy."
