not help matters any. Hotels are full, there are no furnished
apartments available, and it is up to tho townspeople to offer
spare rooms if such there be.
me American Legion auxil
iary has taken this matter up
as a holiday project, and any
one having a room to loan dur
ing the holidays is asked to
contact either Mrs. Carl Schu
