Memorial for Soldiers Monmouth will undoubtedly wish" to get in line with other patriotic communities of the country in pro viding some suitable memorial for those who have served in the great war, cpsecially for the fallen heroes. Why not erect a neat and attractive building on the city park site to serve as a community - center and club house for the people of the town and surrounding country, old and young, men and women, boys and girls. In this building should be a well equipped gymnasium, swimming pool, bowling alley, sep arate game and club rooms for boys, men, girls and women, ladies' par lors and rest rooms, ample accom modations for a public library and reading room. Rooms should also be provided for a regular meeting place for the commercial club, city council, civic c'ubs and other such organizations. The large gymna sium would make a commodious auditorium for mass meetings of various kinds, literary and musical programs, school commencements, union religious services, community fairs and bazaars and the like. The building would be a common meeting place for the whole com munity and center for all commu nity life and do more than anything else to promote healthy community spirit and true democracy. Being located on the main highway where each season thousands would pass by in cars what a splendid advertise ment for the community. Can you think of a more appropriate memo rial for those who served so well to save the world for democracy? Who will be the first to start the ball rolling for an early construction of the proposed memorial by making a substantial worth while gift for the great enterprise?
