MAY, 1957 Pools To Open June 3rd Swimming pools at both Clinton and Lvdia Mills will again open for the summer season June 3 with the usual full staff of registered and trained life guards. Swimming classes will be conducted at the early part of the season at hours to be posted at the swimming pools. During these hours, only those taking lessons will be allowed in the pools. These hours, however, will be scheduled so as to interfere very little, if any, with qualified swimmers. During past seasons, hundreds of youngsters have been taught to swim at the Clinton and Lvdia pools. Others have qualified for Red Cross life saving awards. Courses again this year also will be available under Clinton Recreation Director Chuck Leatherwood for qualified swimmers interested in obtaining life guard awards. "It is the sincere desire of Clinton and Lydia Mills to teach every child of age in our communities to swim," says Claude Crocker, Industrial Relations Director of the Mills. "The same is true for any adult who cannot swim. Becoming an adept swimmer may at some time result in saving a life, perhaps your own. Certainly no fisherman or woman, and we have many in both mills, should refuse this wonderful opportunity to learn to swim." Pools will be open throughout the week except Wednesday nights and Sunday. Daily pool hours are from 9 to 12. 3 to 6, and 7 to 9. Admission is 10 cents for children and 25 cents for adults. Season tickets may be purchased for S3.50 for children i / ?/? nn r _ j..u_ r a i _ ana ;>o.uu ior aauns irom ine life guards.
