There is a possibility that the citizens of Charlottetown might have access to an outdoor swim- ming pool at Victoria Park if pres- ent plans and investigations by the City into the feasibility of -the

subject was brought up before a meeting of the City Council last night by Councillor Edwin C. Johnstone, who was later appointed as chair- man of II committee to look into the matter after the question had been widely discussed.

.

Councillor Johnstone raised the question, not in the form of a mo- tion but as a paper put before the meeting on his findings and inter- an added tourist attraction and recreational facility to the general public. The following is Mr. Johnstoncls paper:

. .

"I think you will agree that Charlottetown at the present time has much to be proud of. However. we should always be on the look- out for anything that will make our City more attractive to our citizens, and also to the tourists that visit us during the summer months. One valuable asset which we possess is Victoria Park. but this is not as popular a spot as it should be due to the fact that swimming is possible only at high tide. Many people have suggested that there should be some way of retaining sufficient tide water to provide continuous bathing. I have been unable to find anyone who claims to be an authority on this subject but. hava dug up some in- formation on the subject of swim-I nilng pools.

. . . "Both Indoor and outdoor swim- ming pools are" becoming ver popular in all parts of Nort I America. There are today thous-' ands of them in the United,

States and Canada. These pools are of different kinds, some are wading pools for children.

Halifax has had one of these for a number of years and it has been most popular. There are some for deep diving but most of them are just for ordinary swimming. some pools are privately owned and operated. some are built and operated by the municipality. some are operated commercially. In many cases the municipality builds the pool and charges sufficient to take care of the operation.

”From the

information I have

jgathered. I am convinced that, the tconstruction of a pool is not the

I I

small. inexpensive proposition which some people think it is. On the other hand I believe that a

,r,ool could be constructed at Vic-

1

torls. Park'st a. cost that could be

ijustlfled. An outdoor pool at the

park would not only be a benefit to our youth by keeping them off the street but would also be an attraction to tourists who would stay in Charlottetown and vicin- it.y rather than go to the North Shore as they do now in order to have continuous bathing.

. - .

"Some pools are filled by the tide. Vancouver has four of these. but Mr. D.O. Turnbuil, the engin- eer who designed the pool at Alma in the Fundy National Park, is of the opinion that the tides in Hills- borough Bay are not sufficient to operate a tide filled pool success- fully. Thcre is an outdoor pool in Campbellton, N.B., which has been built and operated by the Gyro Club for many years and has been very popular with the citizens. Saint John has four indoor swim- rnlng pools. Moncton has two in-

) door swimming pools and one out- . door pool built last year at a cost

of twenty-three thousand dollars.

' There are many pools throughout

Nova Scotla built at various costs. The pool such as the one at the

I Fundy National Park or the Pines

at Dlgby, is very expensive, but there are others operating in the Msritlmes that have been con- structed at a reasonable rate. 0 I I "I am of the opinion that a Committee should be set up to in- vestigate this matter. I think we should have on that Committee such people as our City Engineer. Brigadier Reid, Chairman of Phys- ical Fitness, Mrs. Evelyn Cudmore. Red Cross swimming and Water Safety. and W. K. Sharpe. Sanit- Irv Engineer." Two well-known athletes of the Charlottetown Abeswett Glub'I junior track and field team made

Win Over Senators

(By The Canadian Press)

The sixth-place Boston Red Sox tbeat Washington Senators 8-7 in the 11th inning Monday when Gil Coon. Senator lcfbfielder. dropped a fly ball that would have been the third out.

Dropping the game cost the sec- ond-place Senators a chance to narrow the gap between them and New York Yankees, leading the American League.

The costly fly ball, off the but of Boston catcher Matt Betta. dropped into Coan'.s glove, then popped out-and Fred Hatfield scored the winning run from sec- ond.

Hatfield was in as a runner for Lou Boudreau, who had walked to start. the ihning and had advanced to second on Bobby Doerr's in- field hit. The Red Sox trailed at one time in the game at Washing- ton by 6-0 but wildness by Wash- ington's starting pitcher, Julio Moreno, put them back in the picture. They tied the count at
