state. These figures were issued
in report given out Saturday by
B. E. Hyatt, director of the bureau
of public accounts of the depart
ment of finance.
This is debt of $Ia6.4I for
each and every person in the state,
based on the 1920 census of 43I,-

debtedness were converted into
dollar bills and laid end to end

CIVIC CLUB REPORT
Recount Steps In Obtaining
Swimming Pool.

The annual meeting of the Civic
club was held in the Rest Room
March 3rd. The reports for the year
were read by the secretary and trea-
surer as follows:
"In looking over the reports of the
last twelve months, l find that we
have great reason TO feel encouraged.
Resides maintaining the rest room we
have raised money. To build a
swimming pool that will be lasting
10Y to all the young people in the
peighborhood. We began in April to
talk swimming pool and each
succeeding month grew more enthusi-
astic. In June meeting was held
IN the park and subscriptions were
asked. The amount promised at that
time encouraged US 10 20 ahead with
plans and. by October our pool was 10
longer a dream but real concrete
example or what hard work and
courage can accomplish. Various
schemes for raising money were
proposed and acted upon. Two
dances were given 10 the park, a
local talent play presented, a
rummage sale was held, and we nave
raised by such means $472l7 Sub
scrptions in money amounted to
S4l560. the total OF cash collected
being 1888 27. We estimate that
work donated would have cost at
least $523. We are still in need of
money, as we bad to borrow $3.50 to
pay bills that could not be held over,
but we hope to raise enough before
summer arrives to pay our note and
have everything ready for the first
plunge.
"Our Club membership has
increased to Il members. We hope
for many more during the present
year and look to the continued loyal
support of our friends.

with every possible advantage" f"
declared Colonel Forbes. "There
is nothing that the government
will not do for the men who fought
in the World war and l am proud
Of the accomplishments of the
veterans bureau.
81 am going to show, in figures,
just what this government has
done in the way of soldier relief.
