The Time Hai Come
As good as it looks this sum
mer, the time is rapidly ap
proaching when the local swim
ming pool will no longer be
usable; already it is inade
quate for the large numbers
who daily use the pool.
Bill Rucker, director of Op
eration Youth’s summer rec
reation program stated to the
board members Tuesday night
that he would predict two
years will see the end of use
I
for the present pool if luck
holds out—one year if it does
not.
The patched places on the
pool work up, the filter system
is not large enough by about
1 :< for the load, water pres
sure is not enough to vacuum

Pool Paying
The pool this summer is self
sufficient for the first time
in years. The large numbers
using the pool account for
the difference no doubt.
Classes have been well filled
and new classes will begin
Monday. There is no ques
tion that the pool is the most
popular division ox the pro
gram in which everyone may
participate. If you want to
.s.e youngsters really working,
yet en„oy the effort, go down
some morning after 30 and
see them in their classes,

Basketball is not particular
ly a summer spot,—that is
unless you are a basketball
enthusiast—several girls brav
ed the heat which mounted
into the 90s in order to keep
up the practice sessions be
gun some weeks ago. If all
goes as planned and the parts
tan he located to complete the
job, lights should be installed
very soon as evening games
and practice can replace these
warmer hours. As one may
see, poles are ready, the ditch
es for the wiring have been
dug, and everything possible
is in readiness.
Mr. Head, who gets around
almost every day to see how
our program progresses, is
well pleased that some sort
of activity is in progress at
all times. It isn’t necessary
that an instructor be present,
boys and girls use the basket
ball court almost constantly.
In addition the indoor games
• in use, too. This is ideal;
it means that any boy or girl
may use equipment at any
time he wishes, it typifies
free play and fills in the time
between the scheduled prac
tices and games.
The baseball program lias
always been popular for both
spectators and participants.
It brings in to play boys and
girls from the second grade
through the first year in high
school; this in turn brings par
ents who like to see their sons
plav.
This is one of the most
satisfactory summer programs
we have had.

At the Church:
“Do you have services here
during Assembly time?”
This question, asked by one
attending the current Youth
Conference, has been asked
many times, and to the come
tinies surprised questioner the
answer is always the same.
Yes, Ridgecrest Church is
a Baptist Church, carrying out
its full program throughout
the year. Our people cooper
ate with the Assembly and
take advantage of its privi
leges and opportunities just
as do other churches all over
S. B. C. But this does not
ninder the regular work of
Ihe church. In spite of a
small membership, we do
aave a full program, with all
lepartments of Sunday School
and Training Union; two
:hoirs; an active W.M.U.; a
fine spirit of fellowship; and
a deep desire to carry out
our part of Christ's great com
mission to His church.
In the Community:
“House full, yard full, and
running all over.” This ex- ■
pression describes conditions,
not only on the Assembly
grounds proper, but the en
tire village of Ridgecrest.
More than 3,00 people regis
tered for the recent Music
Week, and now there are al
most 4,000 in attendance of
Youth Conference.

In winter or summer, Lake
Dew is a lovely scene. W heth
er covered with ice in Janu
ary, lying placid and cool in
August, or reflecting the bon
fires kindled for Vesper serv
ices during the Assembly
seacon, it has an atmosphere
of peace and tranquility all
its own. Recently this quiet
atmosphere was disturbed by
some thoughtless youngsters
who appropriated Ridgecrest
grounds as their own property
and destroyed young ducklings
floiating in the stream.
