2 Business Men Plan Leader? To
Swimming Pool AndDayPiL
Recreational
Homer West, Clayton
MehafTey Plan
To Have Project
Ready by Spring
A decision has been readied In
construct a modern swimming pool
and recreational center near the
Waynesville Drive-In Theatre.
Homer West and Clayton Mohal
ley, owners of the theatre, said this
morning that their plans were to'
start the project in time to have:
it ready for early spring.
The recreational center will be
on the property adjoining the the
ater, at the intersection of th.
Asheville and RalclifTe Cove loads.
The property is owned by Mr.
West.
In addition to the swimming
pool, the owners have iiiciud"d
rides and other features of leerc
at ion and entertainment.
The owners did not announce I he
cost of the proposed project.
"We have seen the need for a
recreational center here for a long
time, and we have decided that a
modern outlay here will be a good
investment." Mr. West said.
Mr. MehafTey pointed out that
the recreational center would lit
rich! in with their operation of the
out-door theatre, which is trad
ing large crowds.
The question of a large and
modern swimming pool and recre
ational center here has been a sub
ject of much discussion -lor many
years.
Several months ago Warren El
ler, owner of the Waynesville Coun
try Club, recently made the Town
an offer of leasing the pool at llelle
Meade if the Town would repair
and modernize the pool. No formal
action has been taken.
A modern pool is also being built
at the 4-II Club Camp near the
Slate Test Farm and will he ready
for use next .spring. This pool will
be just for the summer campers
attending the camp.
