A Kiwanis meeting heard John Conley outline a City of Hope plan to convert 39 acres at Dyke Springs into a free public swimming pool for boys and girls 16 and under. Plans by Major Stanford estimate a 60 by 200 foot pool with a 60 foot dam, earthworks, and a concrete spillway, total cost about $450 with extra for unforeseen items. Financing ideas include a Kiwanis staged Womanless Style Show to raise part of the funds, plus potential club participation and volunteer work.
