Many Uses for New Building are Apparent Community Gatherings of All Kinds Can be Accommodated There inA Eeality in 1926. From Thursday's Daily The near approach of Thanksgiv ing brings to mind the great need of a community building one in which a union Thanksgiving service, com munity Christmas tree. Decoration day ceremonies. High school gradua tion exercises, etc. could be held one ample in size to accommodate large gatherings of our townspeople and available for strictly commun ity events of this kind without charge except for the cost of the light and heat. With such a building other occa sions will arise for its community use from time to time and it is certain that many district and even state conventions can be brought here, once we are assured of a place in which they can hold their meetings. It is with this in mind, that the American Legion has labored sever al years for the money with which to buy its building site on Vine street, and is now sponsoring the drive for funds with which to erect the much needed building. A few more weeks will put the drive over the top, and then the active work of approving plans and letting the contract will receive earnest consideration. In this, it will be the aim to secure the very best possible building both from the standpoint of utility and appearance. possible to buy with the money con tributed therefor and the additional sum borrowed by the Legion to in sure its completion. The Legion's building committee will be ably as sisted in working out such plans by the Citizens' advisory committee, composed of Judge James T. Begley, Attorney Wm. Robertson and Robert A. Bates, all of whom have had ex perience in the building game, and whose sound advice will be of much value. Throughout the campaign it has been made clear that this is to be a community building in the strictest sense of the word, and now with the plan about to be successfully brought to a climax the declaration is repeat ed. Contributions secured earlier in ; the drive have been held Intact un-j der a pledge guaranteeing their re-i turn if the building was not con-1 structed and every step taken was , with the idea of having everything in readiness to push the erection of the structure to a conclusion oncej it is started, rather tnan begin worn with Insufficient funds in sight and trust to luck to secure the rest. Those who want to aid in putting the drive over in these final stages can do trojan service by coming for-i ward with their subscriptions now. j There are a number of cards out in' the business section yet and it is! desired to get them returned at once, j i j in. in gi v & iUV j UL. L lilt A committee expects to have completed its work and be able to turn over to the Building and Advisory commit tees the details of getting things in readiness for an early letting of the contract and quick erection . of the new building.
