FAVOR BATHING
FACILITIES HERE
Women Request Chamber of Com
merce To Take Action To Pro-
vide Bathing COnveniences.

AS the result of meeting of wo-
men representing the various
churches of the city the past week
the Chamber Of Commerce was mem
orialized to take steps looking to the
providing of bathing facilities at the
various bathing beaches in or near
the city.
The following communication Gas
addressed to the organization:
Columbus, Miss, July lst, 1921.
The Chamber of Commerce,
Columbus, Miss.
Gentlemen:
A group of women interested in
the promotion of better bathing facili-
ties for our community appointed the
undersigned committee to offer the
following suggestion and to state to
YOU. that they would cooperate in a
movement to secure proper bathing
conveniences.
Since the chief sport of the summer
months is that of bathing and it is a
hoalthful, happy sport for our young
people; and since the dream Of an
up-to-date swimming pool is far
from realization and our natural
swimming beaches have become so
popular. we suggest than an earnest
effort be made by some Community
Organization to provide adequate
dressing rooms on the bathing beach
for the bathers use, thus solving some
Of the problems Of discomfort that
have been discussed recently.
Sincerely yours,
MRS. +. r. KIRKSEY.

"As evidence of good faith. ] don't
care to wait until twenty-four hours
before the fight to post the money
with you. You can have 1t now, and
make your own arrangements for
paying off Dempsey and Carpenter

an agreement between Rickard and
