the MarySville Municipal Pool,
this week. Another 16 children
received intermediate certificates.
The 46 boys and girls who

to it, or who were unable to be
at the pool enough to complete
their lessons.
The Red Cross conducted IL
lessons at the pool this summer,
with 1l3 children enrolled. "It
was one of the finest programs
ever held here" the Pool Board
said today. 1T is suggested that
parents who approved of the pro-
gram and liked it, let the Red
Cross know by letter or phone
call"
