The committee in charge of obtaining the pool met yesterday and accepted an offer from the Kinsmen Club to use a portion of the land just east of the town water tank for this purpose. tive in this matter are the chairman g Don Gaine and of the committe, Whitby's Recreational Director Gor- don McMahon, Cost of the pool will be compara- tively low since it is planned to make the pool the first unit for a larger community pool for adults later. It is now believed that con- struction can proceed right away providing financial aspects of the project work out favorably. Most ac- THe committee is considering turning the pool over to the muni- cipality unon completion. It will be very shallow at one end, suitable for small kiddies and increase in depth to three and a half or four feet at the other end. This depth is sufficient in which to give swim- ming instruction, says Mr. Mc- Mahon, e Farmers View Yesterday's "The rain of the last few days certainly did more good han harm," said Agricultural Represent- ative Lyn Fair summing up what yesterday's downpour had done to and for Ontario county farmers. "A nice gtart has been made with haying all over the county and in the front farms haying is fairly well advanced," - Mr. Fair said. "Some was cut Friday and Sat- urday in anticipation of working on it Monday. However, there will riot be a serious damage unless the wet Rain With Varied Feelings weather continues this week. Hay yield is perhaps below anticipa- tions and this rain has been par- ticularly good for the yield on old meadows." The downpour is particularly good for tomato crops and other - later crops. With peas, the situation could be a little different; prolong- ed wet would ke bad for them. Mr. Fair said that the "June drop" of apples is now over but he has not heard yet what the def- inite prospects are as to the apple crop.
