For several reasons it was found impossible to carry out the survey at that time—but now the com- mittee has finalized arrangementi. On Thursday of next week, March 17th, every house- hold In Wingham, Belgrave, Bluevale and Whitechurch and the rural routes served' out of these post offices, will receive an envelope containing a brief outline of the pool proposals and a ballot on which you will be ask- ed to express your opinion. You may remember that two alternative plans for a pool had been suggested. The first was for a regular outdoor pool with dressing rooms, similar in general layout to the one in use at Clinton. This pool would be limited to use in the warm weather only and tentative calculations indicate that it would cost about $35,000. The second proposal was to construct an indoor, heated pool for use all year round, in a building which would contain, on the upper floor, an auditorium which could be utilized for the serving of suppers, for enter- fainments of all kinds, and for the Scouts, Cubs, Guides and Brownies, or any other organisation in the com- munity in need of a meeting place. it would include a kitchen, washrooms, lockers for clothing, eft. in this issue of The Advance-Times you will find a reproduc- tion of the proposed plans. This 'Nee of noel and build- ing would cost in the neighbOrhood of $75,006. At the present time the pool committee is holding $5,700.00 which has already been turned over to them to be used in financing a pool. Other committnients have been made for the period 'of the next two or three years. Essentially, the present Whiting is that $75,000 in- vested in the pool and community centre building would be much wiser spending than $35,000 in an outdoor pool useful for 'three months of the year. The big question is whether or not the people of this community, who will have to loot the bill, are in agreement-. The ballot you will receive next weekstates the question quite piainty, You will he atked to mark on "X" after the project of 'your cheice.....00 if you disagree with both plans, you can marl your ballot so.
