ARMISTICE TO BE CELEBRATED AT SIXCENTERS Winter Sessions of Commu nity Bodies Will Start During Week Commis sioner. Says. "Armistice week" will be observed by the recreation department by the opening of six community centers, Park Commissioner Falconer an nounced Saturday. Additional cen ters will be opened next week. The six centers to open this wtek are Central Park, Benson, Edward Rosewater, Lincoln and Mason. AH but Benson are conducted in the school houses. The Benson center is conducted in the city hall at that community. Most of the openings will be held on Friday, November 14. Opening night will be devoted to short programs and the election of community councils, except at Ben son, where the council has already been chosen. Nine members of the council will be elected by each com munity at its first general assembly, following which the councils will elect president, vice president and secretary-treasurer from their own number. ' Need Community Workers. Councils of all of the community centers meet once a month at the city hall to discuss questions of gen eral interest to the community cen ters. Mr. Falconer has asked that any person interested In community cen ter work communicate with Rercea tion Director Isaacson, who has charge of the community centers, at the city hall. "There are a lot of people who have the real social spirit, and who would make splendid, community workers, whom we cannot get into touch with, said the commissioner. "We want to increase the activities conducted in the centers, but are limited by a lack of workers who possess the proper qualifications. The chief thing we look for in se lecting workers is the enthusiasm in community work, which every successful leader must possess. - Entertainers are Wanted. , "We also want to get the names of all who have ability to entertain, and who will give some of their time that the people of the com munity centers may enjoy their tal ent. Speakers, singers, musicians of all kinds, elocutionists, slight of hand performers, and others who can entertain are wanted. Tney can perform a real public service by helping the people of Omaha, to enjoy the splendid community cen ter programs." i, a snort program and community dance will mark the opening of the Benson community center. This is the only center at which commu nity dances are held, because of the attitude of the school board against social dancing in the public schools. At Benson, a community dancing club has been formed and strict reg ulations are enforced. Commissioner Falconer will de liver a talk at the Central "Park opening program, to be held Fri day.

WARNING TO SMALL TOWN ,r T 1 Experts Planned One With Prisoners' "Sky Parlor" Committee Inspects Doug las Court House. "Go atid see Omaha and its ruined county jail before you conclude to build one like it, with a sky-parlor on the top fjoor for prisoners," is the message signed by prominent citiaens of Kenosha Wis., to their county, building committee, which has under consideration the con struction of a new jail. The citizens in question but re cently returned from a trip to Omaha, and the protest to their county board is the result of their inspection of the Douglas county jail The visit of the Kenoshans to this city was unobtrusive and they made no parade of their investigation while here. The result of their in quiries, however, is contained in a ieport, which, is "spread out" in their local paper, the Kenosha (Wis.) Evening News, issue of Wednesday, November 5, a copy of which hat just reached the office of The Bee, as follows: "GO SEE OMAHA MESSAGE TO BOARD Kenosha People Just Returned from Omaha See Folly of Having Sky-Parlor for Prisoners. SEE PERIL FORTHE COUNTY Omaha Must Spend $700,000 to Re pair Damage Done by Mob Which Hung Negro and All of the Records of the County Were De stroyed by Fire. Prominent citirens of Kenosha who have iust returned from Omaha have sent a special appeal to the members of the building committee of the countv board. All that is said in the appeal is: "Before you decide! to build this new court house with' a jail on the top of tt we want you to go to Omaha and look at the ruins of the court house and jail there." One of these men in discussing the idea of the suggestion said to day: "I am convinced that if any intelligent member of the Kenosha county board goes to Omaha and takes a look at the ruins of the splendid court house there that they will never vote to build a jail on the roof of a county center for Ke nosha county." Damage to Building $700,000. "It will take $700,000," continued "The Moon Beams for You" Wins Theater Contest "The Moon Beams For You," a suggestion by Miss P. Prince, 310 South Eighteenth street, won first 1 rize in the slogan contest con ducted by the Moon theater, accord ing to the announcement made by the judges last night. Over 2,000 slogans were submitted. The judges were the movie editors of the three Omaha newspapers. In addition to the first prize they awarded 100 prises to others who submitted commendable sugges tions. . this man, "to repait the damage done to the Omaha court house bj the actions of the mob which re cently hung a negro there. - No one can understand just what happened untij he sees the havoc wrought I may be that Kenosha might never be forced to go through the expe rience of Omaha, but the experience is one that should be guarded against. A determined mob might decide to take prisoner from the jail of the Kenosha court house some time and if it did the building would be wricked. Records Lost to People. "Little has been said of the most serious outcome of the mob rule in Omaha. That county lost practical ly all of its records as a result of the fire which was started, by the mob. If the jail had been located in an adjoining building or on some other lot the damage would not have been one-fifth what it was. Al! I want is for the county board mem bers to take a look at the ruins Then if they believe that Kenosha should have a "sky parlor" for pris oners it will be all right for then to go ahead." , Members of the board said toda? that they would insist on such a trip before any . final action was taken, but they hinted strongly thai . , t ... . . np... - me Doara, wnicn meets next Tues day, would not take any action to continue the work on the proposed court house at this time. New plans for the court house with the jail eliminated may be ready for the consideration of the board but it is doubtful if the plan will be seriously considered and the board may sug gest that a plan be secured with a ground floor jail.
