tion of a swimming pool, when.

which the Lions Park and Pool was
known throughout the Province.
Ife said that he had, on many oc-
casions, heard favorable comments
frorn members of other clubs and

fhe Club .was expressed by W. M.
Hart. Chairman of the meeting
was E. C. Boswell. ,

Mg program. The Scouts *ere
preparing plans in order that they
might have a part in the pool cam-
paign and it was expected that a
half mile of pennies along Main
Street would be arranged in May.
On the basis of 16 pennies te a
foot, it is estimated that the event
could raise at least $400, Mr. Spit-
tal said. Referring to the Easter
Seal campaign,- he told the Club
that some $300 had been donated
to the fund this year, as compared
to a total of $282, which had been
received in last year's campaign.

are patients in Scott Memorial
Hospital.

were proceeding satisfactorily, ac,
cording to Chairman W. T. Teall,

er be put out as quickly as pos-
sible.
