Do any of you, remember when Brussels young people headed for a favorite swimming hole at what was then known as "Hoover's Bridge"-? Many a warm summer evening, you would find cars parked along the roadside or in the trees there, and bicycles also, and much splashing and laughing in the river. There Was even a boulder in the water off which the more daring ones dived. No one worried abOut p011ution. They did not mind the mud on the bottom that squished through your toes, or object to the friendly cows that quite often were nearby cooling themselves in the water. •That water still looks inviting. We wonder if there are still those who enjoy swimming there.
