Youth Memorial Fund Drive Launched Ag College Campus Structure to Cost $250,000 American Legion sponsored efforts to raise at least 250 thousand dollars for a Nebra ska Youth Memorial building took concrete form recently with the release of an archi tect’s conception of the pro posed structure, which is to be located on the University of Nebraska college of agriculture campus. The building will serve as headquarters for the thousands of boys and girls from out state who convene at various times during the year for youth programs at the state university. Tentative plans call for accommodations to simultan eously feed and house 400 youngsters, both boys and girls. In addition to the 4-H club groups and the Cornhusker Boys’ and Girls’ States, the building will house high school students from all over Nebraska who journey to the state uni versity for musical festivals, basketball tournaments and other activities. Such groups as the Flying Farmers, Feeders’ day gatherings, agricultural ex tention groups and short course attendants will also utilize the building. Harry B. Coffee, of Omaha, chairman of the sponsoring committee, recently said funds for the building will be solici ted from the entire Nebraska population to use in promoting all statewide youth and agri culture programs.

Barnes, of Omaha, state commander of the American Legion, emphasized that the civic campaign for the Youth Memorial building is to be ‘‘by Nebraskans, for Nebraskans — an investment which will result in a badly needed building constructed on state property, for all of our Nebraska youth”!
