Swimming Pool Keeps up Interest
The village pool draws steady patrons on warm days and moderate attendance on cooler days. The playgrounds commission added tents for dressing rooms and scattered sand to soften edges. Commissioner Oswald received a donation of posts for a surrounding fence. Guards vigilantly monitor for struggling children and jump in if needed. An effort to stagger hours aims to let small children go home by eight while others swim to ten, though on very warm nights they resist sending kids away. A local policeman remains present in evenings though no police work is required. The pool remains orderly with parents feeling safer under supervision and the facility under playgrounds commission guidance with village input.
