Mrs. Mildred D. Smoot. prin-

Mrs. Smooth said pupils attend
ing separate morning and after

Hearings 10 Be Held
On Swimming Pools
In Arlington County

Public hearings on the policies
to be adopted in building swim
ming pools in Arlington under O.
recently approved bond issue.
have been called for by Leo Ur-
banske, jr., chairman OF the Rec
reation Committee of the Arling-
ton Democratic Council.
A plea for construction of
neighborhood pools has been
made by Fred Bach. Democratic
candidate for the County Board
in the November 7 general elec-
ton.
Mr.. Urbanske, directing his re-
quest to both the County Board
and the boards Special SWIM
ming Pool Committee, declared
there is a great deal of sentiment
for neighborhood pools.
'The adults in our county are
as interested in these facilities
do dIC OIlC CAllIGk1 Cl4. 4A4CJ Q1OO
feel that high school pools will
place a definite damper on their
use by younger children" he said.
Mr.. Bach declared that unless
the people of Arlington wake up
to what is happening they are
going to find that the pool funds
will be allocated to several sec
tions of the county"
with inadequate cross-county
transportation they will be more
remote than District of Colum-
bia pools" Mr.. Bach said.
Imagine the people of Fair
Iington and Arlington trying to
reach a pool at Washington-Lee
High School, or the people at
Halls Hill getting to the pool
at Hoffman-BoSton."
Mr.. Bach also asked that the
Swimming Pool Committee keep
in mind that the people voted
on the bonds with the under
standing they would be self -liqui-
dating.
