Work on Church Held Up. !.
Work on the new First Presbyter-
ian church building has been held Up
temporarily because of the inability
of the carpenters TO get certain neces-
sary supplies just at this time. II
was stated today that there Is no
foundation for a rumor which has
been prevalent to the effect that The
building will have to be abandoned
for the present because Of the short
age of building funds; but on the
other hand it is certain that the work
will be pushed as rapidly as tho nee
essary materials can be assembled on
the grounds.
The Swimming Pool.
With the coming Of the close OF
summer, interest in the Glover swim
ming pool which has afforded so much
pleasure and enjoyment to people
young and old has begun to lag.
While there are lots OF youngsters In
the pool daily, still there are not so
many grown-ups around now as there
were a month or six weeks ago. That
the swimming pool has been a COM,
munity enterprise well worth whhle
this summer there is no question and
Clover people say that next spring
and summer it will prove more popu-
lar than it has this summer. ~
