Henry Illinois opened its municipal Henry pool for the 1940 season on Sunday June 2 drawing a large crowd. Robert Chappelear manages the pool with Lyle Hall as lifeguard under the city board of health supervision. The facility features continuous 24 hour water flow and frequent changes to ensure cleanliness.
