"We owe to our son and daughters
and to tbe young people entrusted
to the care of this community while

been widely circulated by some of
the most prominent people in the
community, notably by Rev. W. L.

SENTIMENT SEEMS TO
RE STRONG FOR BUILDING
PUBLIC LIBRARY IS PROPOSED
The People Of The County Are Inter
ested And Should Take Up The V
. Discussion of the Question
The move for a memorial building
in this city for the men who lost their
lives in the recent war is bringing
considerable response from various
interested sources to the effect that
the building should be a community
center, possibly an auditorium or a
library.
An effort is being made to deter
mine just how strong this sentiment
is. before further plans are made for
the building.
This is a move in which everyone
in the county is interested. The
county is required to appropriate
$5,000 for the purpose, which has al
ready been done, and a larger build
ing will require a larger sum to be
raised from other sources, which will
make it a building of lasting benefit
to the entire community. Write the
secretary of the Legion what you be
lieve would be the most beneficial
to the community for the purpose of
a memorial.
