of all the problems now con-
fronting the membership.
Some members who attended
the meeting were surprised at the
boards explanation that cal
though we have or had last
August an actual membership of
1888, this includes about 300
children who will not be able to
use the big pool this coming
summer.
1t was further pointed out that
there is no illegal limit" on the
number of people who may be in
the pool at any one time There
are recommended limits" but
they are unenforceable. 1t was
pointed out by the board that
other pools in this area have
more members than we do +per
square foot. One member point
ed out that it was possible for
pools in this area to be so crowd
ed that the people on the edge of
the pool must wait for someone
to get out before they can
jump in.
Short of increasing the mem
berShip or commercialization of
the pool with a concession and
extensive guest privileges, one
way out would be an ante of $25
to $50 per family sometime be-
tween now and the swimming
season. This would be one
time payment in addition to the
annual dues.

The $4,000 question this week
is ,"Who was taking care of the
kids last Wednesday," The swim
ming pool corporation met. The
homemakerS clubs had their joint
eeting. The Lay Health Coun-
cfl, a sewing class and st. Mary'S
turkey dinner were well attended
by Twinbrook people.
At the swimming pool meeting,
which was called to determine
whether or mot to enlarge the
membership in order to meet the
financial situation, the total vote
was 295 in favor of increasing the
membership and IS opposed. The
resolution failed because a majo
4 rity or 301 vote in favor was
necessary to amend the bylaws.
A breakdown of the vote show.
ed that 60 people actually present
at the meeting voted in favor OF
the amendment, as against 81
opposed. The 227 members who
did not vote at all could be inter.
preted as casting a negative vote
since the accompanying letter
with the absentee ballot stated
the necessity of a majority vote
to pass the resolution.
At the meeting it was explain.
ed that the increase in members
would not actually bring in any
money now. There are only two
people on the waiting list.
The change in the number OF
~Slnembers would simply make il
NAasier to borrow more money
and, once the swimming season
gets underway, ii was hoped that
membership fees would help to
repay the loan. Interest on this
loan as well as on the $4,000 al
ready borrowed and spent will
have to be paid out of operating
expenses this summer.
Many questions were raised
concerning the changes in plans
in the bathhouse construction and
the provision of a kitchen and
other facilities for the operation
of a concession.
Clyde Hardin, president of the
corporation, who presided at the
meeting, explained that when a
meeting is called for a particular
reason, such as voting on the one
amendment presented, no other
business can be discussed.
Therefore suggestions fol-
economy in the construction still
to be done and for arranging full
membership meetings before de
cisions are made concerning con
cessions and other operating pro
eedureS were not considered
ypertinent to this meeting.
After the results of the ballot
ing were announced, the question
was raised as to what action
would now be taken to raise the
money needed to meet the most
basic requirements in the spring
Mr.. Hardin could not answer
this, of course, without the direc
ton of the board, but he will
make every effort to keep the
members informed.
He expressed his desire and
the desire of the board to receive
all the help and constructive sug
gestions of members interested ir
cooperating actively with them

board of directors or the mem
bers themselves will call a meet
