New theck-Uut
System to Go
into Effect
At City Pool
1. SHOWER WITH SOAP AND
WATER BEFORE PUTTING ON
SWIM SUIT. A soap and water
shower is required by the State
Department of Sanitation. If all
bathers will follow this rule,
they will find the pool water
much more enjoyable, as all
germs not removed before enter
ing the pool, must be destroyed j
by adding chlorine to the water.
Naturally the greater the amount |
of germs, the greater the amount
of chlorine needed. It is also
desired that sun bathers who
must use sun tan lotions, shower
again before entering the pool, as
the oils greatly hinder the opera
! tion of the filter system.
2. TAKE BASKET TO CHECK
OUT WINDOW. As none of the
| baskets will be numbeerd you
; must wait for the attendant to
issue you a pin. (REMEMBER1
SHOWER BEFORE PUTTING
ON YOUR SUIT.)
3. RETURN PINS UPON
CHECKING OUT. Lost pins must
be paid for.
All bathers are requested to
use the footbaths. This is for
your own protection.
Pool regulations are posted on
the high board. These rules are
for the protection of the bathers;
and pool equipment,
i The kiddie pool is free of
charge, but all children must be
supervised by an adult. Parents,
please refrain from sending chil
dren to the kiddie pool alone.
Children under 8 years of age
will not be admitted to the swim
ming pool unless accomt anied b\
an adult. . .
Pool hours: 1-9. In case of de
batable weather, listen to your
local radio station.
Adult night: Tuesday.
Special nights can be arranged
for by church or other civic or
ganizations.
O’NEILL PARK BOARD
Not Enough Cattle to Fill Orders
• The managers of the O'Neill market have been re
eeiving numerous orders for yearlings and calves the
past few days from eastern Nebraska. Iowa and Illinois
cattle buyers. During tre past few weeks we have not
had enough cattle to fill the demand. Under general
moisture and pasture conditions, this might be a good
time to sell.
• W#’re expecting 250-300 cattle today (Thursday) in
connection with our regular weekly sale, but hope
for more. Already in yards are several nice loads of
mixed long yearlings and part loads of short yearlings.
• There wUl be 250 feeder pigs
