Stay Out of Pool
Parents, keep your children out
of Zebulon’s newly completed
swimming pool.
Pool officials urge parents to see
their children do not go into the
pool area.
A few days ago a group of teen
agers crawled over the wire and
went swimming.
This could be dangerous, said
pool officials. If an accident had
happened, it could have been
fatal. And, besides, insurance
would not have covered the acci
dent.
Officials urged too that children j
not thrown foreign objects into
the pool.
No date has 'been set for the
pool opening.
