The south end park pool in Pella buzzes with children and adults daily as families seek safe, sanitary water recreation. Manager Donald Nutting oversees a crew including Carol Carson and Florence Nutting while lifeguards Warren Gould and Peter Gaass ensure safety as receipts top 1084 dollars in a few weeks. The Chronicle notes high patronage, promising balance of costs, and a community benefit beyond mere amusement.
