Five dollars worth of merchandise for the Best Answer! Let's All Go to the American Legion Dance, Wednesday, Oct. 5th n Where You Save on Every Purchase TELEPHONE NO. 42 SiiiHiiira Smith Shies from Political Issues From Saturdays rallv With the completion of construc tion work and formal opening of the inew Plattsmouth community build ! ing yesterday, there remain various litems of equipment necessary to be purchased for the outfitting of the , building, which due to hampered fi nancial conditions, the building com mittee has been slow about contract ing for. 1 Most important among the needs 'are seating facilities, a heating plant and a hotel size gas range for the kitchen. The Legion Auxiliary has provided at a cost of some $500 com plete china and glassware service for 200 persons, but their finances are likewise running low and at present ithey cannot buy the silver require ments for such banquet service. I At the opening yesterday, chairs (were loaned through courtesy of the library board and the Sattler funeral home, but such arrangement was only temporary and immediate action must be taken to provide an adequate : number of chairs at least 12 dozen. The best market quotations for good, substantial folding chairs run around ,515 per dozen. To help solve the seating problem, 'a number of progressive friends of the Legion have suggested the plan of "Booster" chairs, being sold at $1 .each to individual purchasers, whose names would be stenciled on the bak of their chair. The idea is a splendid one and met with instant encouragement once it was suggest ed. 1 While the Legion does not wish to appear in the role of a begging agency on tco frequent occasions. It does face a serious problem in providing heating arrangements and outfitting the building for banquet service and would welcome the response of the general public to the "Booster" chair idea. Although the chairs will cost more than $1 each, the committee could handle the additional cost anil thus permit the stenciling of a chair .for each $1 so contributed, j Only small contributions of $1, $2 ior $3 from entire families are desired or expected. The public has been most generous in its support, provid ing the money for the greater part of the outright construction cost of the i building, and the Journal believes no one will want to lay down on the job j now when a few more dollars will ; take care of the seating arrangements and leave the committee free to pro iceed with a solution of the heating problem. i All the money made by the Legion 'on its activities, which require a lot jof hard work on the part of Legion members, will go to pay off the in debtedness and as soon as this is i cleaned up, be placed in a fund to provide for completion of the build ing by adding the other story, j If generous response is made to this "Booster" chair idea, 12 dozen , chair3 will be ordered at once, and :can be gotten here by the middle of next week in time for the grand opening ball with Tracy-Brown's Oklahomans Wednesday night, j To aid the worthy enterprise, the !
