where by courtesy the Y. W. C. A.
carries oa activities the year
around, 8alem girls and women

time, receiving Instruction la

given them. .
The pool Is 29 feet wide, 69
feet long, three feet 'deep at the

of tile and a good diving board
is at the deep end. A place for
spectators Is reserved at one side
of the pool, a door from the wo
men's shower room opens on to
the shallow end. one from the
men's at tbe deep. Well-filtered
water enters jthe pool through
two intakes at the shallow end,
and exits through a drain at the
deepest part, where it goes
through the filter and . returns,
making a complete change about
every eight hours. The room is
well ventilated by windows around
two sides of it. Once a week a
water vacuum cleaner removes
all dirt from the walls and floor
of the tank.

The gym and swimming pool
attract all classes and sizes of
women, girls and children. With
a membership of 300 the Y. W.
