Monmouth Civic Club Turns Project For Park Upkeep Over to Gty Dads MONMOUTH Members of the Civic club, Thursday concurred that the park project be considered completed, inasmuch as the club has worked actively toward its consist ent improvement with final con struction last summer of a con crete fountain. The club has asked that city of ficials take over the future ad ministration of the park, and that a park board of three members be appointed to function in coopera tion with the city. It is believed that this will leave the club free to direct its energies into other channels. Mayor F. R. Bowersoz has indicated the city's willingness for coalition of park responsibility. The Simpson house project also came In for discussion. The Civic club has accepted responsibility for acting as a "guardian" for the house which was recently donated for a community house by J. E. Simpson of Boise. The club hopes to have the house utilized in future by as many oth er groups as possible, thus secur ing financial and general partic ipation in the project, in a shared community cooperation. Suggestions have been made that this house, centrally located, would offer convenient club house facilities for social gatherings, thus becoming an income produc ing project. If sufficient funds could be made available to reno vate and furnish it. Another suggestion has been that a portion of the house might be adapted for use of the city li brary, now housed in the city hall. Mrs. C. O. Sloper of Indepen dence gave a talk on The Home in Yuletlde Dress. Hostesses were Mrs. F. K. Cham bers, Mrs. Ira Powell and Miss Hilda Swenson. Mrs. F. R. Bow ersox presided at the urns.
