Land has been found and Irv
ing Rotkin, president of the or
ganization, is very optimistic OF
how soon everyone will be swim
ming about.
There will be a meeting in the
early part of March to bring to
the membership the full details
of the final stages of the pool
association.
This new swimming pool enter
prise takes in the areas known
as Rock Creek Palisades, the en-.
tire Pleasantview Triangle, Mon
terrey Village, Hammond Hills
and North Kensington.
Irv Rotkin, Allen Saylor, Polly
Gurewitz, Lane Kirkland, Sid
Chernick and Mr.. Manovil have
worked diligently for eight
months to make this pool a
reality.
I'm always impressed with the
WheatoniteS who never say die,
but stick to a project until it is
all wrapped up. Once again the
community as a whole will be
able to say job well done.
incidentally those of you who
have been debating whether or
not to join, better call Polly at
10. 1882 quickly to get your
application on record. At present
there are $50 families that have
signed up and Irv thought there
would be limit of $50 families.
Now is your chance to get into
the pool. From experience l can
tell you that once land is pur-
chased the people start forming
lines to get in.

bers of the Civilians, Kiwanis,
Lions and Optimists Clubs in a
donkey basketball game.
That's right. Donkeys will be
used by the players. If for any
reason the men can't get the
donkeys TO move, then they have
to push them around the court.
Worse yet, if the animals don't
care to make like players, then
the men must stand with their
donkeys and wait until the dumb
animals makes up his mind to
move.
Naturally, it is all being done
for a good cause. The school is
once again raising money for
athletic equipment.
Adult tickets are 81 and stu
dent tickets will be rs cents each.
This is one show I'm sure no one
would want TO miss, if for no
other reason, than to see what
