New Building Will Replace Present Inmdequate Facil- ities., MADE POSSIBLE BY 'WHITTAKER BEQUEST Bathers' at the Lions Park next summer will have a modern bath house for their use the Lions Club decided Monday night when the-meri• bers+ unanimously • approved the recommendation of the board of directors that the long contemplated building be proceeded with imunedi- ately. The building has been under con- sideration for some years but has been delayed because of diversion of club funds to war purposes. .Its con- tstruction at this time' has been made possible by the bequest to the club of the late Mrs. Whittaker. Decision to built was also prompted by the fact „that. the attendance at' the park during the ,.past two years has more than doubled and present facilities are totally inadegttate. The building which the park com- mittee has under consideration will -be 90 feet by 26, feet and will con- tain ladies' and gentlemen's dressing rooms, backers °'and toilet , facilities. Dividing the two rooms will be a cen- tral rotunda 30 feet by•26 feet in the centre ,of which will be the .refresh- ment booth and checking room. A large porch extends across the cen- tral, portion of the building facing the pool. Store rooms are provided at the •south side of the building. The new building .will replace the present structures at the. park. These will probably be moved and altered for use as tourist cabins. T•he_ meeting on . •Monday night marked the resumption of fall activi- ties for the club. It was in charge:of• President M. A. Reld and vice pres- ident Dr. E. A. McMaster, the latter being chairman. A new member; K. I. McLean, was introduced to the club by Lion W. J. Duncan.: The balance- of the meet- ing was occupied with reports on the Hallowe'en frolic by Lions G. D. Fer- guson and J. M.
