Joseph L. Mankiewicz, him

favored fable for the screen.
With one good writer's under

that the best thing about Guys

themselves
These are humans as amaz-

folkways stem from the small

However. since all dramas
must have conflict. Runyon has
provided it here in the form of
the Save-A-Soul Mission which
not merely invades the guys and
dolls playground but assailsI
their way of life. That the mis-
sion happens to be directed BY
q girl attractive enough to be
played by Miss Simmons makes
the whole thing only that much
more comic.
With the wide screen Of Cine
MaScope to help. Mankiewicz
has wisely allowed the cinema's
"Guys and Dolls" TO flare out,
occasionally too much 30 but no
more seriously than to disturb

Plan Backers
Had to Battle
For Projects
BY Susie KapIan
10. 4-1368

Whenever l learn of a new
community pool being built, l
wonder just what it takes to put
over such project.
Edgar Johnson, who is one of
the organizers of the Glenwood
Recreation Club, Inc, commonly
known as the Mckinney Hills
Pool, was good enough to give
mea run down of the develop
ment of their pool which is
scheduled to open around August
/.
Early in 1854 the idea of this
pool occurred to a few members
of the Carroll Knobs Citizens
Association. They were John
Nepple, Thomas Holford Mrs.
Ina Sherman, Mrs. Margaret
Geist, Mrs. Esther Brown, Edgar
johnson, Charles Hilsenroth,
Mrs. Selma Posner, Edward bout
rich and Phillip Tipperman.
1t wasn't always easy. You
would think with the weather
that we have in these parts, if
anyone suggested building a CO.
operative pool every person in
the area would jump at the
chance.
1t isn't SO, according to Mr..
johnson. The first time around
the neighborhood which consist
ed of Carroll Knobs, McKenney
Hills, Capital View Terrace and
Forest Glen, the response was
negligible. By this time the
group had done a tremendous
amount of work. They had
gathered great deal of facts,
had Joined with other groups in
the county to ask for permissive
legislation to enable community
group to have such recreationaI
facilities, costs had been figured
to a minimum, but not many
members.
OF course, they were diScour-
aged. So, they decided to try
once more, Although progress
was slow, at least more interest
was shown. This time the drive
produced enough families who
were willing to provide the neces-
sary capital to make the down
payment on approximately six
acres of land adjoining the Nc
kenney Hills Elementary School.
Once the land was bought, it
was much easier There were
soon more than enough members
to really get rolling Contracts
We're let to the Paddock Con
struction Co. to build a 86"x4O'
pool with a 20x20 diving well on
the deep end All, yes, there will
be a 30 circular wading pool for
the tiny tots.
AT the same time the bath
house is being built.
So - l wonder what would
have happened had the original
few thrown up their arms when
the going looked rough.
But somehow the bleeding
hearts of any organization realize
the importance of their goal and
do not let go so easily. They
were wise people and I'm sure
everyone who has joined have
thanked them many times.
The present officers who are
