"A new swimming pool for enlisted men and civilan employes at Jefferson Barracks was dedicated yesterday in a program highlighted by the appearance of 50 members of the Shaw Park Swim Club of Clayton. Club members, some of whom are shown resting at top, gave swimming and diving exhibitions before a crowd of more than 2000. The dedicatory speaker was Brig. Gen. P. X. English (left, below), chief of staff of the Seventh Service Command at Omaha. With him is Col. Richard E. Anderson, commanding officer of Jefferson Barracks. The Coast Guard Band also appeared on the program. Completed last week, the pool measures 75 by 150 feet."
