Business Man Wants Prepared
ness in Connection With
Safety of Boys.
Editor Democrat; With the ad
vent of real summer our daily paper
tfaarc chronicling the tragi death of
our boy and the drownings occur in
the same old ways. The strong swim
mer who goes beyond the life lines,
is still seized with the sudden cramps
and the boys who wade into the deep
hole in the Calapooia or Willamette
all pay toll to the cold grip of the
merciless water. What then shall we
do? Our boys and girls are entitled
to safe and lane swimming privileges.
Recent tragic events thould arouse
the spirit of preparedness. Corvallis
has taken the initiative-by erecting
20 bathrooms along the river beach
and during hot afternoons many men
and women avail themselves of the
opportunity for a plunge. Albany has
visions of a natatorium, but no defi
nite action. Procrastination is the
thief of time. More pep. and enter
prise is needed. Our city needs .1
suitable swinming pool for the young
men and women. The matter is being
agitated through the Commercial club
and if there is sufficient encourage
ment Albany will have a natatorium.
