POOL FUND NEARS
MAY MARK
$235 Now Donated to Pro
vide Swimming Facilities
for Underprivileged.
Donations this morning to the fund
for reopening the Y. W. C. A. swim
ming pool at 614 E street amounted
to $113, bringing the total amount of
money on hand to $235,
That Is almost half the $500 needed
to provide underprivileged children of
downtown Washington with sanitary
swimming pool facilities, where they
may enjoy themselves on hot, sultry
days.
Under the auspices of the Council
of Social Agencies, the old swimming
pool in the E Street Y. W. C. A. will
be reopened just as soon as $500 Is
accumulated at The Evening Star.
When the cashier opened his mall
this morning he was amazed at the
quick response of generous Washing
tonians. From the enthusiastic let
ters accompanying the checks and
currency, it is easily seen that two or
three more days will put the swimming
pool campaign over the top. Then
will be brought about a great boon to
children in the downtown sector.
Check for $50.
First check to make its appearance
today was one for $50 from Mrs. Hat
tie M. Strong.
Then came a $25 donation from Miss
M. Katherine Tancill, treasurer of the
Quota Club, who wrote on behalf of
the membership, "We sincerely believe
in the work that will be done there
and hope that the fund will be over
subscribed in a short time.”
That the work to be done is some
thing really worth while for boys and
girls is the belief of Dr. Frank T.
Shyne of the National Press Building,
whose specialty is the treatment of
famous athletes and who claims that
swimming is the finest form of ath
letics available to boys and girls:
"Let ’em swim." he writes, along with
his check for $5. Swimming 1s one of
the best exercises."
Other Donations.
Aside from those aforementioned,
