/ ever take your small children to {
bathing beach and dress them In 9
= tiny bathing suit and notice how they
. enjoy themselves? Sure you have ane
you had just as much fun watching
them as the little shavers did, and
old folks as well, why they actually
act like they had found the Fountain
: of Youth when they plunge into nice
, invigorating pool.
In the summer time when the days
are hot and sultry. you who are FORUM
ate enough to own Ford take your
families and daylight each Sunday
morning finds you far out on the
road to the pleasure resorts of the
upper country to spend day Of rest
bathing in the pools of the Hot Springs
with the Thermometer 100 in the shade
and no shade and you are bound to
enjoy n pleasant drive over the rough
sandy roads causing yourself another
couple OF hours work cleaning up your
clothes after the trip, and you cheer |
fully spend a large portion Of your |
weeks wages for gas and oil for the |
Tin Lizzy and a couple of meals for |
the family. finally getting home long
after dark with the Riddles all tired
and sleepy and you and the wife rather
peevsh, sometimes ending up in a spat.
How about it Boys ever do that?
Certainly everybody does that. Now
why not eliminate all this and in
vestigate the possibilities of a pleasure
resort right here at home? The idea
OF a swimming pool was first thought
of for the simple reason that it can
be constructed very easily and with
the least expense. There are sites
along the river not stones throw
from our main street that, with very
little expense, can be made into an
excellent place for everybody to en-
JOY themselves immensely and still
not contaminate the water for other
purposes.
Some of you already thinking that IL
would be necessary to bond the City
AGAIN. Don't worry about that be-
cause the proposition has been in
gestigated thoroughly and bonding is
NOT necessary, just little invest :,
nent on your part. An Investment !.
where you will double your money and
t will work both ways.
Mr.. Business Man, for instance, each
'ear you spend several dollars for adj
'ertising, when you tack your signs
llong the Highways, to direct the =
ourists to your place Of business,
vhy not add that the tined dusty :"
ourist can find public bathing pool o
ear the tourist park of our city You %
an almost bet that he will cut his ~
avs drive short an hour or two just -
'ill also. without a doubt, stock up -
n supplies that he will need along the az
ray instead of driving on to Gooding
+ HALEY where they have all these o.
1ings for the comfort and convenience is
[ the traveller. And he will tell others d.
'r cool refreshing bath and he &c

an argument was being carried on s''
