As the south-east section of the city haa no club house such as is found in Irvington and on Portland Heights, it is intended to make the school house serve this purpose. It will la* open for any meeting which has for ita purpose the discussion of public questions or the welfare of the community. Although Arleta has a small branch library there is no lecture room in connection with it which haa prevented the )a*ople of the vicinity from receiving the advantages offered at the main building in tlie way of lectures. It ia the intention to secure some of these excellent lectures which will la- delivered in the assembly hall of the school building. That these may be illustrated by the stereopticon the building will lie wired. If arrange ments can la- made, moving pictures will fa- offered occasionally. Some of the beat films ot an educational nature will be secnreil. If sufficient interest is shown it is planned to organise a chorus under good leadership. The success of the enterprise depends npon the interest shown by the community and the co operation given. Any one having any suggestions or interested in the work as briefly out- lined is cordially invited to call at till' office cf the Arleta school between I and 2 p. in. and talk the matter over. This work will be designed especially for older people and young people not in school. More definite plans will be announced in a few weeks.
