Friendly House E For Activities m J The hope that Friendly House m organization will have quarters within a week in which to carry "on its community functions was mneia nign inursaay. ? Wednesday night 25 Eugene friends of Friendly House gath "ered at the home of Gordon A. J Ramstead, 158 21st Ave. W., to "hear sponsors explain plans for definitely acquiring a house near the University of Oregon campus "which can be used for community "social interaction. m Negotiations will be carried on "further this week in conjunction JJwith-Mr. and Mrs. James D. Bry ant, host and hostess of Friendly jJJHousei who returned Tuesday anight from a 9-weeks' vacation ln California. The Bryants were guests at ithe Wednesday meeting. Among those present were prom inent Eugeneans who have worked Iwduring the summer to further the '"Friendly House idea. m Friendly House, a non-profit, ("non-denominational, and non- JJJJpolitical organization Incorporated Minder Oregon law, was formed "more than a year ago; and for 12 Wmontht operated In the Unitarian hChu.rch, 11th Ave. E., and Ferry JJStreet. lxt Quarters lm The group was forced to aban- mdon its quarters 'there this spring '"when the church was re-activated wand needed the building space. At "that time the Friendly House com "mittee, volunteer workers, an nounced that the House would be continued at another location this fall if contributions could be made by persons interested In the idea, Workers have been campaign ing for funds this summer: and although only a small reserve of cash has been collected, sponsors have announced their determina tion to proceed with the project. The major factor in preventing culmination of the fund drive as first conceived, sponsors said, has been lack of a building in which to house the organization. Many persons have promised greater aid once a building has been found, Ramstead told the group. Support Seen Ramstead said that final ne gotiations in acquiring the house will result in the needed sup port, in view of present circum stances. The group heard Jim Bryant make an eloquent plea during the meeting, for support of the Friendly House Idea. "The idea behind Friendly House is capable of growing as big as the human heart will allow it to grow," he said. "I envision In Friendly House a place where all who so desire may bring their contributions of knowl edge, friendliness, and human sincerity in an effort to estab lish among all men a more firm foundation of brotherhood on which to build the future. "Daily we are losing that qual ity among men without which life is futile. There is still hope ana time for humanitarlanism; but we cannot afford to waste that time. Need Greater He told the assembly that at no time during his 50 years' con tinuous activity in community or ganization has the need been greater for closer personal con tact, faith in human beings one for the other, and understanding sympathy among all men for their simultaneous problems. He told how, nearly 30 years ago, he and Mrs. Bryant spear headed the movement to estab lish Riverside Community, near Albany, and how a community building was erected with labor of men and women who envi sioned a better, more democratic life for persons of all ages, races, and creeds, through meeting daily to discuss their problems, ambitious and ideas. Friendly House during this past year, he said, has been a contiiv uatlon of this idea. University stu dents from many nations passed through the open doors of the House; group and individual dis cussions were held day and night with notable American educators, University professors, and per sons throughout Lane County and Oregon. Breen Favors Dr. Quirinus Breen, professor of history at the University, re iterated his desire to see Friendly House become a larger organi zation, encompassing more socisl activities, participated in by per sons of all nationalities, open to free discussion, and contributing toward making the nation truly a place of freedom. Dr. Warren D. Smith, retiring University professor of geology, told the group, "Friendly House is a great social experiment. He told of seeing students of all nations intermingling with and ex. changing ideas with American stu. dents, Eugeaneans and many citi zens of Lane County. He said the resulting harmony was gratifying to him. Dr. Charles D. Schleicher, one of the sponsors of the House, was unable to attend the meet. The Friendly House housing committee and others have sched uled an early survey of the pro posed new location, and expressed confidence that further informa tion will be announced soon. t . . .

He get A PUBLIC ARCHERY RANGE is now open on South Hilyard as the result of a development plan jointly fostered by the Bureau of Parks and Recreation and the Cascadiau Bowmen. The ac tion photos shown above were taken last Sunday as members of the local archery club held their first scheduled shoot at the new range. Members of the club estimate that there are more than 200 inveterate archery enthusiasts In Eugene at present. Provision of the new range will see this number multiply rapidly, they predict. (Wiltshire engravings.) . Archery Fans Develop Range on Hilyard Si Another addition to Eugene's public recreatiorc.facilities is be ing developed on South Hilyard St. through joint efforts of the Bureau of Parks and Recreation and the Cascadian Bowmen, local archery club. Part of the large tract extend ing south from the Amazon Creek which the city hopes eventually to develop under a comprehensive park and recreation plan, this new archery range was used last Sun day by 25 bow-and-arrow enthusi asts. Sunday Competition This Sunday, at 2 p.m., compe tition will be held in the Ameri can round, an event in which 30 arrows are shot from each of 60, 30 and 40-yard distances. Al though the shoot will be under the direction of the Bowmen, par ticipation will be open to all archers. The new range also will be open at all timee. in all nlal'octor! nar sons, for practice shooting. Dr. J. E. Richmond, treasurer of the Bowmen, has reported that the archery club hopes to erect a building on the South Hilyard location to permit winter shoot ing. "This range," he said, "has been long awaited by archers in this area, and we intend to do all we can to improve it. 'Two weeks ago, the sue was covered with tall grass and clumps of brush. The ground was rough as the result of long pasturage of cattle during wet seasons. Graded Range 'The Bureau of Parks and Rec reation has graded the range now to provide an excellent range. A culvert has been installed and a road built leading into the field so that archers can park there conveniently. "And two permanent shooting butts have been provided by the Bowmen so that anyone wanting to use the range need take noth ing with them but target faces and their bows and arrows," Dr. Richmond said. He also explained that the Bow men, themselves, are just begin ning to reorganize effectively after wartime cessation of their activi ties.
