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

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-

Minder Oregon law, was formed
"more than a year ago; and for 12
Wmontht operated In the Unitarian

"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.

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. Anvone is plleihl. tn inin ti.o

Bath House to Open

Open house will be held at
Kitson Springs next Friday to
permit public inspection of a $35.

added to the nationally famed

er Bill Cash.
