Oregon for transmission Mails, as second class matter, under of March 3, 1879 T ig e r * D e fe a t Itiiild o g M 7 l o (Statewide, Boise, Idaho) Enough Boiseans wanted a municipal swimming pool to propose the project form ally at a bond election. T a x payers shuddered at the $135,000 cost and voted " N o ” last June 28. And that was that. The same story had a different ending in the city of Payette with its 5,000 population. Payette voters ap proved a $35,000 bond issue for a swimming pool about five years ago. Costs kept rising until it was apparent that the bond issue would have to be for $75,000. The citizens voted the swimming pool down when it was presented a second time at a bond election. Costly as it was, Payette still wanted a swimming pool A committee of citizens decided it could be done without a bond issue. They organized “ Community Swimming Pool, Inc., made I C. “ Ike” W hiteley the chairman, and asked every service organization, church and lodge to appoint one member to the board. A cement drive was the first step. Each child in the community was asked to bring one sack o f cement to help build the pool. In came cement—some if it toted on the handlebars of bisycles or pushed in w heelbar rows. Next was a finance drive with everyone in the county solicited. That raised $3,400. Smokers and card parties and dances and shows were held with the proceeds donated to the swimming pool fund. Building experts donated their time to make the plans The county and city, highway districts and pri vate contractors promised to furnish gravel and equip ment. The Lions club members agreed to furnish the labor. When actual construction was started, women brought coffee and refreshments to volunteer workers. A ll the K flu rm From Conference— Mrs E.

Today Payette has a swimming pool which is second to none in the state. As many as 400 youngsters have used it without cost at one time. Bath houses and some other features are not completed, but they w ill be. The pool has been built for an outlay of $5,400 and every one in the community has a personal interest in it for it took the individual effort of all. I f the pool had been built through a bond issue, the property owner would have paid the cost even though he might not have wanted it. Nor used it. Built as it was, those who wanted the swimming pool put in the most effort to build it. Payette has set a fine example of community enter prise which other Idaho cities could well follow.
