There has been substantial
controversy over the swimming
pool situation in the black
community over the last
couple of months. Just to get
^ another side of the issue,
black pool managers voiced
their opinions.
For the most part, black
pool managers feel there is no
discrimination in terms of the
25 cent fee at black pools and
the competence of black pool
managers who do not have
Water Safety Instructor (WSI)
certificates.

charged the city with
discrimination because white
pool managers have WSI
certificates, white pools
charge 50 cents and whites are
distributed with the seasonal
passes with which most
blacks are unfamiliar.
The pool managers interviewed
felt managers do not
need WSI certificates because
their main function is to
schedule activities. Walter
Marshall at Kimberly Park
pool said "managers were

I created by the flimflammer.

One such flim-flam

$297.87. The women used a
$100 bill on a $2 purchase
and spoke with unknown
accent to confuse the
cashier. Miss
Moore stated the
two wanted change for the
hundred dollar bill. They
began to do a lot of loud
talking which confused the
cashier. One of the pair
apparently reached into
Miss Moore's cash register
taking some cash.
The flim-flam was discovered
when a cash total
was taken by Ernest. Miss
Moore stated she never saw
the two women take the
money out of her register.

The purpose of the program
is to give youngsters from the
age of 14 to 20 some
recreational training to encourage
them in recreational
f professions. Additionally,
Sumlcr explained, Mwc wanted
to see if the youngsters
could provide recreational
services for their peer group
more effectively than a
professional staff.

otherwise be engaged in

The four staffers instruct
the 20 youth workers to go to
the areas where youth have
nothing to do with their leisure

civic clubs and churches to
request funds for programs to
promote growth motivation
and education. According to
him non-profit organization
can easily obtain funds for
worth while endeavors.
