LCill " ITO oJlOllCl SOOu-
natured condition, we are happy
to reflect this return to proper
perspective by leading off with
the news that is first in the
hearts of our countrymen.
The swimming pool is shaping
up rapidly and the powers that be
are still hoping to open on the
18th.
The volunteer labor crews have
been working through the heat
and rain found the latter down
right pleasant and most of the
hard labor is done. Among the
volunteers not previously men
toned is George Hauter, who has
donated his truck as well as his
own labor and talent, and Louis
st. John, who has arranged to get
all the fencing for us at terrific
bargain. "Of course" he'll work
with the volunteers to see that it
is installed professionally" Stan
dard Supply is furnishing the
plumbing materials at cost mot
even handling charges included.
Our faithful standbys are still
helping s. Mr.. Gingery furnish
ing a bulldozer and Mr.. Geereart
sending down a crew of his own
bricklayers as well as letting us
have one of his rental houses for
our headquarters.
Three vacancies on the Board
of Directors were filled at the last
meeting by the election of Louise
Carr, Ralph Williams and Bob
Mcintyre to fill the posts left by
Al Stoughton, Aaron Posner and
Bob Andrews. The activity at the
board meetings is almost as fever
iSh as that at the actual building
site, but much has been accom-
phshed in the time they have had
to settle such problems as condi.
tons of membership and respon-
sibilities of individual officers
and employees. The rules relat-
ing to guest privileges, one of the
TOUGHEST subjects, have finally
been formulated, and they will be
in effect for this season on a sort
of trial basis.
Members will be allowed to
bring guests from areas which
are not or were not open for
membership. Guests must be ac-
companied by a member, or occu.
pant of members household.
Fees will be 25 cents for children
under IA and IS cents for adults
on weekdays before pm, 35
cents and 81 after 5 pm. and 80
cents and 81 on Saturday, Sunday
and holidays.
Weekly guest passes may be
obtained for a bona fide house.
guest for $3.50 for a single guest
and 81 for a family. Children
under IA must have a signed note
from parent member in order
TO bring guest. There will be
no limit on the number of guests
a member may bring, except that
when the pool is crowded, the pool
manager may refuse admission
to guests.
Members will be responsible
for guests behavior and the pool
manager will report abuse of priv.
ileges to the Board of Directors
which will have the power to sus.
pend guest privileges of any mem
Der who has abused the priv.
leges.
One final rule reads, Nothing
in these guest rules shall be con.
strued to limit the Board of Direc.
tors in its power to invite guests
to use the corporation facilities
under whatever condition it may
determine"
Using the county formula for
legal capacity of public outdoor
pools the combined swimming
and wading pools will have a limit
of 800 people at any one time
Our member families constitute q
potential attendance of 5000
without guests.
For the carefree members who
are concerned only with such
pleasantries as the color scheme
we are pleased to report that the
tile which will line the edge of the
pool will be blue and the sides
viii be white concrete with bits
of smooth marble set in. The
swimming lanes for competition
will be marked with blue on the
bottom of the pool as will the
floats on the ropes which mari
off the diving area. There will b.
one 3 meter and one / meter div
ing board.
The welldigger is still a bort
IN more ways than one. They
have not yet struck an adequate
supply of water, but the engineer,
n are not concerned. They are con
fident it is just matter of time
and we will have plenty of water
by opening day.
