Weekly Westafer on, Nearly 500 More Ask for Swimming Pool for E-town The past week put the climax to response to the Chronicle's straw vote on the question of the desirde ability of an outdoor swimming pool here. Besides a number of mailed ballots urging a pool, a group of youngsters brought in a list of more than 400 names of local folks who would like to see such a project undertaken.

Sounding a few folks as to their willingness to contribute cash toward the project, encouraging responses were received. One business man said he would be willing give "at least" five hundred dollars; another offered one hundred dollars. One individual said he would give one hundred dollars; another offered fifty dollars, and several dollars. There also several refusals twenty and one professional man said he did not favor a pool "on account of the danger of infantile One citizen displayed blueprints of a pool for the community. He said the cost of construction would be from $30,000 to $50,000, complete, but felt these figures could be pared to a great extent if materials and labor could be secured from the townspeople at low cost, or in some instances, no cost at all.

An effort is expected to be made to learn roughly how much money could be raised for the purpose among the industries, organizations and private families. Then, if the prospects are bright, an attempt will likely be made to effect an organization of responsible men and women to take hold of the project and launch a drive for funds. Securing of funds and the laying of plans, it is felt, could be accomplished during the fall and winter months, so that if the task is undertaken, actual construction could possibly begin next spring and likely have the pool in use by next summer's swim season. Due to last minute lack of space, the names who voted for a pool this week must of necessity be omitted; but they will be listed in next week's Chronicle. W.O.T.M.

Gingrich, who presented the Groff Extension plan and wanted to know whether Borough Council would object to installing the saniitary sewer line along the south side or the undeveloped portion of the ridge road, rather than to open the just recently macadamized center of the road. After discussion, it was ordered, on motion, that permission be granted to install the sewer main as suggested, rather than disturb the macadamized portion of the road. It was pointed out this could be done at much less cost than to i tear up the macadam. It was suggested that W. D.

Groff, or his heirs, furnish a written agreement setting forth their willingness to pay the extra cost of installing laterals from the center of the road to the main sooner from all the property fronting the north side of the road.

He said Tuesday that the girls weighed 4 pounds, 9 ounces and 4 pounds, 3 ounces, respectively, and the boy weighed 4 pounds, 2 ounces. The tots have been named anie Lynn, Sharon Lee and Stephen Jeffry. Rice, still somewhat confused, said the multiple birth has created a problem in the household. His employer, Herman S. Risser, of H.

S. Risser Motors, here, has notified him that he will receive a raise in salary. Risser also has ordered a three-seater baby coach as gift for the triplets, to replace the singleseater Rice had purchased ahead of time. Rice is now offering for sale the original "buggy" "to any 'ordinparents who might be interested." Rice, the father of eight other children, was busy this week passcigars. of his friends wanted three cigars--one apiece; but said, "with a family like mine provide for, you'll just have Rice, to be satisfied with one for the lot." Dr.

Thompson, probably as surprised as tthe father, said tthe babies were the first triplets he ever delivered, and he is about as proud as the parents. He completely canceled his usual fees, and said if he I ever has the privilege of bringing quadruplets, he will help provide the funds for rearing all four. (He is also helping the Rices and their triplets.) Dr. Thompson's nurse, Miss Nancy Becker, a graduate of the Lancaster General Hospital School of Nursing, is in the Rice home, caring for the mother and the infants. Mrs.

Robthis borough, ever born Babies arriving three at a time strain the family budget -especially when there are eight other children already in the family. This was the statement made by Robert U. Rice, father of the trio which arrived here Saturday, when interviewed by a Chronicle reporter, who agreed that when three times everything must be purchased Rice knew whereof he was speaking. Whereupon the reporter decided that the Chronicle could do a good deed by calling the fact to the attention of other Elizabethtown folks, in the hope that possibly some kindly folks would be happy to lend a helping hand. It is felt the family would greatly appreciate any outside aid that might come their way.

Dr. T. M. Thompson has already substantially helped them, and the local Moose lodge and Women of the Moose have contributed liberally with cash giftts. Folks who have a yen for helping others, the Chronicle feels, have a grand opportunity here.

The Rices live at No. 58 Orange street. LOCAL LIONS CLUB HOLDS PICNIC TUES. The Elizabethtown Park was the setting for a lively family picnic held Tuesday evening by the local Lions Club.

PRICE FIVE CENTS PROBATION OFFICER SPEAKS TO ROTARY Henry Lenz, probation officer and social service worker for 16 years in York, spoke on the "Field of Correction" before the weekly meetthe Elizabethtown Rotary Club in the Hotel Kennewood last Friday. "The first probation law in this country," according to Mr. Lenz, "was passed in 1878 chusetts legislature. Probations bewith the idea to rehabilitate the individual, and today the idea is to prevent trouble before it happens, rather than try to change an individual after he is in trouble." Mr. Lenz stated that "the four main causes for an individual requiring correction or rehabilitation are: (1) the abusive use of alcohol; (2) indiscriminate beatings of children; (3) unwholesome comics, and (4) divorce." According to Mr.

Lenz, "there are almost as many divorces in Lancaster County as marriages, which leaves a serious effect on the children, since there is no substitute for a good mother or daddy."

COMMUNITY CHEST BEING ORGANIZED The Community Chest of Elizabethtown, which has been in the process of organization during the past few months, is gradually developing into a well-formed and permanent organization. The charter has been obtained, filed in Harrisburg and signed by the board of directors, and properly witnessed. The need of a local Community Chest was found necessary during the past few years, due to' the fact that many, citizens of the borough felt the money collected was not being used and distributed as they felt it should have been. The local organization is not independent from the county organization, but will work hand-in-hand with it and attempt to aid in an equal and fair distribution of the monies collected.

This does not mean that all funds collected will stay in this community, but will be distributed as before, except possibly the community will benefit more than before. The organization will not in any way replace any of the social service organizations, such as visiting nurses, guidance clinic, which have been operating and doing excellent work in this community. The purpose of the Community Chest of Elizabethtown is to combine, if possible, all the independent drives, both local and county, into one drive, thus eliminating much criticism and comment from the citizens. The committee is hoping and planing, however, maintain a substantial financial balance to aid in any or all extreme emergencies which may arise in this community. The board of directors has been working to the best of its ability to be organized for the drive this fall, and will conduct it in the best manner possible.
