Mr. Conron pointed out that be- fore grants, could -be obtained it would be necessary to ferin a Com- munity Centre Boark which ;would 'then be the suceesatir to tlit Water , Safety Committee. To form this board, he stated that it: was ne- cessary for ,the town council to pass a by-law, and once it had been approved at Queen's Park, then plans could move ahead. Mayor McKinney said that he foreSaw no difficulty in having such a by-law passed, and suggested the secretary of the meeting,. Lloyd Carter, have a letter requesting the •• by-law in the hands of the council at its meeting on Monday night. A motion covering this action was made by Willis Hall and seconded by,Iiugh Carmichael., G. W. CruickShank enquired whether the investigating commit- tee had thought of the possibili- ties of a covered pool, for year- round use. Mr,. Conron said that the committee was seeking such Infor- mation in Hamilton 'at the present time, but did not have anything to offer in this respect for the meeting. Express Approval For freedom, for plenty, for all the blessings of home and family, we say a prayer of gratitude on this Thanksgiving Day. As we cel- ebrate with the traditional feast, we are grateful, too, for many other Canadian traditions . . and for the privilege of all to work, plan and save 'for a bountiful future.

Lions Club, and 'elate** Hanna of Itlitnt Ivitawolos14 Continued from page one Conron said that he had gone into considerable detail on the matter with the committee in the town of Clinton, which has just completed the erection of a pool in that com- munity. Mr. Conron sail that a pool, 35X 120, feet, would cost approximately $35,000 including a bathhouse, fil- tration and chlorination system and, fencing, Approximate figures would be $13,500 for the excavation and the cement work for the pool proper, and surrounding aprons, The filtra- tion and chlorinating system, 46,500, piping, excluding installation, $1, 200, bathhouse, $8,000 and fencing $2,700. Diving boards and other mis- cellaneous equipment would be extra to these figures. If a larger pool were contemplated, Mr. Con- ran pointed out, then extra costs would, of course, be involved. Dr. W. A., Crawford 'inquired whether the committee bad any in, formation an, operating costs, and how they would, be met, Again, .Mr... Conron _replied. He said that in the pools which the committee had ,investigated, it ap- peared that operating. costs were met from revenue obtained from swimming fees. In the case of Clin-, ton, it had cost about $150 per week for wages. He did not, he said, have the complete figures on other operating costs, but at Tee'swater it took about $1,500 over admis- sions, a sum whiCh was financed by the Lions Club. Financial Problems The matter of raising money was a'question which received a good deal of discussion at the meeting. Mr. Conran pointed out that one excellent offer had been made by the Kinsmen Club, namely $10,000 over a period of five years, and that' if 'the project were to be set up as a community centre, the On- tario Government would pay a grant of 25 per cent of costs up to a total of $5,000. It is hoped that there will be other offers of assistance from the organizations represented at the meeting, and that the remainder will have to be raised by subscrip- tion front private citizens, Mr. Con- ron pointed out that there are about 1,000 families in the town and district, which should be in- terested in the pool, and on this basis,the pool would only represent $35.00 per family, At • Clinton a door-to-door canvass was held on- three separate occasions and the bulk of the revenue for the pool in that community came from such sources. The chairman also said that in Clinton the construction had ,been started before the revenue was on hand, and work had been carried out as the necessary funds were received. DeWitt Miller suggested that a fund raising committee he set up and °pinioned that he was cenfi• dent that the necessary funds could be raised through bard work, pro- vided those interested in having a pool would get behind the project to provide the necessary personnel to do the work of canvassing. On Motion of 'H, P, Carmichael and Willis Hall, Mr, Miller was appointed to act as chairman of a fund raising tolmalittee. After further discussion, Mr, Miller moved that Mr. Carmichael be vice chairman of the conintittee which would later be expanded to include representatives from the various organizations interested in the creation of a pool. The motion met with the approval, of the meeting and was seconded by James Cart. After further discussion 'of the aspects of other committee re- quirements, Cal Burke moved that the Water Safety Committee be authorized to appoint the necessary chairmen Of the various tees which Would be needed, such GORRIE,-Funeral service was conducted by the ReVaJ.
