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
