NEW LOOK A I CAMERON POOL — Pictured above is the newly decorated Cameron Swimming
Pool, which is located in Ledbetter Park. Newest addition al the Pool is the modernistic all tile
bath houses, cement floored. Each of the sections, both mens and womens have ten individual stalls,
with a shower and restroom in each section. Oisinfcctant wading tubs for bathers to use prior to
entering the pool are on order and will be installed in each section in the near future. Added plea-
sure at tho pool this year is the newly constructed sun deck, where a thick carpet of San Augustine
grass is now peeping through the earth. When the grass covers the area colorful metal tables,
chairs and umbrellas will grace the deck. A six foot wall incloses the siinbaUing portion. The pool
is sided w ith cement walks, one side in a four-f ot w alk and the other in an eight-foot w alk and
sun bathing terrace. One portion of the bath house duo hous-s a refreshment bar, where cold drinks
and candy are sold. The pool itself is 70-ft long w ith a base pool provided for the non-swimming
youngsters, started at one foot and sloping to a two-foot depth. The regular pool is also gradually
sloping from 3-foot depth to 10-foot at the end where the diving boards are placed. There are two
boards, one is a one meter and the other a high board or three meters. The water in the pool is
always clean and cool and kept so by constant circulation through the filtering system. In additi-
on the pool is vacumned every 2 to 3 days to assure no depris is left on the floor of the pool. Swimm-
ing lessons by Snooks Michalkn and Joe Hawkins ar,e held every day. One lesson begins at 8 a.ra.
the next at 9. These lessons will continue all summer and parents have been advised to call the
pool phone number 217 if they wish to enroll their youngsters. There will be preliminary and ad-
vanced swimming lessons and diving Lessons during the summer season.
19 Youngsters
Turn Out For
Swimming Class
’’Are the youngsters afraid of
water?” No, it’s their doting mo-
thers that feel the qualms of
nervousness during their child-
rens swimming lessons at the Ci-
ty pool in Ledbetter Park.
The lessons, under the direct-
ion of Joe Hawkins and Snooks
Michalka the pool managers,
started Monday morning. Hawk-
ins said that there are 19, bet-
ween the ages of five and 10 now
registered, and more are expected
to attend as this week progresses.
Each of the children are giv-
en individual attention and will
“graduate" when they are able to
swim the length of the pool, which
should be according to Hawkusi,
in about 15 days.
He added that most of the pre-
sent students are progressing
quickly and the few who are af-
raid of the water are those who
at some time have been ducked
or thrown into the water by an
older relative. He cautioned old-
er brothers, sisters and parents
that this is a very bad practice
and some few never lose the fear
which this causes.
There are cold drink*, candy
arid a juke box at the newly dec-
orated pool which ia open from
2 until 7 p.m on Saturday and
Sunday from 2 til 9 on weekdays.
