There has been some discussion around and about the city on the possibility of building a swimming jxx»l for the youngsters. It is still in the discussion stage. Nobody has taken any action. In the main, we’re opjxised to the idea. We are, of course, open minded about the project, but there are just too many hugs which can’t seem to he worked out at this stage. We believe strongly in the idea of our youngsters learning to swim, and we think that swimming is one of the most wholesome of all recreations. But—Brookings just isn’t ready for such a project. There arc too many things we need first, and worse. Besides, an outdoor swimming jxx»l in this area would be used for so few days of the year, most youngsters would prefer swimming in the river anyway. An in door pool would he wonderful—but the expense would be terrific for a community this size. A much better way for the townspeople to spend their promotional time and effort would lx to secure facilities for a summer supervised recreational program for the youngsters. That situation is currently one of die most deplorable in Brookings. The youth have no place to play during the summer. With an outlay of several thousands of dollars for a paid director, and equipment the city could have, and should have a recreational program. The leaders of the community, educational, city administration, religious, business leaders—including th e “Pilot”—should feel a twinge of shame at allowing another summer to come without a playground, and playground facilities for their youngsters.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS — During the summer vacation we learn wrom the Brookings HI-LIHTS, considerable work is planned for improving the inter ior of the new- building. The shop, music room, and three of the classrooms in the cafeteria will be completed with cork floors and the ceiling and walls sealed. In the music room there will be permanent risers, in strument storage and special storage space for music. Outside the building the park ing area will be blacktopped as well as the bus loading area and possible black topping on the south side of the building to be used for parking space also. Two classrooms are to be d e veloped in the balcony of the gym. And, if there is any money left over, there is a possibility it may be used for improving the recre ational area.
