East Prairie Opens $40 000 Municipal Pool With Civic Help
East Prairie marked the dedication of a new $40 000 municipal swimming pool in Davis Park attended by about 187 youngsters and civic leaders led by Warren Hearnes and Mayor Wellborn. The ceremony featured a ribbon cutting by Elgin C Davis II and a prayer by Rev Melvin Bryant, with 252 children swimming by 40 minutes after opening. The project began three years earlier with broad local backing, underwent funding delays, and finally required a bath house completion to meet health standards. Local donations, including support from the Davis family, enabled the bath house finish and pool operation planning by a dedicated civic committee.
