The need of such a building is felt by the two veterans’ or ganizations in town and it is their desire to have the build ing erected or at last to have the wherewithal to do it by the time the boys come back from the present war. Preliminary estimates place the cost at $15,000.00. A well equipped and properly arranged meeting room and dance floor is planned. From this dance floor it is anticipated that enough money can be raised over a per iod of time to repay all those who advanced their money for this purpose. MILITARY KNOWLEDGE SOUGHT HERE ST.
