Community House
Enterprising Halsey Ladies Are Thinking of Starting
the Ball Rolling
A project which at first looks
audacious hut which may be quite
humanly practical was broached
by Mrs. Laubner at the meeting
of the Ladies’ Study club laet
Saturday.
The ladies are maintaining a fine
fre. library with some help from
the city and from other sources
outside the club, and its advsu.
tages are appreciated aud freely
taken advantage of by old and
young.
It is housed where it is roached
only by climbing a long flight of
itairs. Aside from this, it would
probably be more generally recog­
nized and availed of if it were on
the ground floor, where all passers
could see it.
Halsey also needs a place for
public gatherings. We probably
could not raise a fund of 92000 or
98000 for a community building,
as they are trying to do at Browns­
ville, hut Mrs. Laubner suggests
that perhaps the MeCully building,
standing mostly idle and only a
source of worry toltsowner. might
be bought for a low price and its
commodious lower floor could
house the library and also be
ivailefl of for public gatherings.
who now rent quarters upstairs, might
be willing to join in the purchase and
stop paying rent.
The suggestion was so well received
that ways of raising funds were dis­
cussed and a committee of oue was ap­
pointed to communicate with the Amer­
ican Legion at brownaville, which is
preparing a minstrel show as a part ot
its campaign for community building
funds, suggesting that the play be pre­
sented in Halsey also.
There may tie practical results. Let
us hope.
Twelve members responded to rollcall
at the meeting ot the Women’s Study
club at the home of Mrs. Sidney Smith
Saturday afternoon with thoughts of
thanksgiving.
After a busy business session the les­
son, on Oregon history, dealing with
