Swimming, Wading
 Pools Remain Open
Park Department to Continue Privilege Until Cooler
 Weather Arrives

Monday evening, MT Harrison stated, but with warm weather prevailing the pools will remain open.
 That means that swimming may be enjoyed at Lakewood Beach af- ter Labor Day, the date it was sup posed to close. The Lakewood swimming beach has come through it's best season since the park was taken over by the city. The heavy patronage was due perhaps to the reduction in admission price put into effect at the start of the sea- son by MT Harrison in conformity with the times. The park has been fortunate in that no drownings. or near Jrownings were recorded at the city's resort. Watchfulness on the part of the life saver, George Noonan. is largely responsible for the record.
 Eddie Keenan's Chase Park pool and Lee Fagan's Hamilton Park pool together with wading pools at Washington and Fulton Parks will remain open until further notice. This should be joyous news for the boys and girls who have enjoyed teh city's bathing all summer.
 MT Harrison announced also, that the golf course at East Noun tain will be operated until late in the fall when the cold weather comes in. Fairgrounds will he closed for any amusement except bathing.
