P U N COMMUNITY HOUSE FOR WILLMAR

4

:#.

Ex-Soldiers of Three Wars Getting Back of Project and Have

Begun to Push. The members of the American Le­

gion at their regular monthly meeting last Wednesday evening showed them­selves in earnest about the communi­ty building project, which was launch­ed at their January meeting. After the report of the committee, eight of the boys present pledged themselves to give $100 a piece and the other for­ty-one members at the meeting $50 each to get the project started. The Willmar Post has a membership of 317 and could they each be induced to pledge the amount of $50 there would be a total of $16,000 just from the ex-

,.s*«xvice men alone, which would be a " good start. Gov. Rice and Mayor Wel-

lin started "the ball a rolling" at the banquet last month when the former pledged $1000 and the latter ?5O0.

The committee for the community building undertaking has been enlarg­ed and is now composed of the follow­ing members: Hon. A. E. Rice, presi­dent; Wm. O. Johnson, vice president; Henry G. Young, secretary; Phil Hal­ey, Chas. Holmberg, Xorman Tallak-son, Herbert Wadell, Howard Johnson, Emil Lundquist, Herbert Hengstler and Harry Osborne.

This committee held its organiza­tion meeting last Monday evening lay­ing their plans for the campaign.

Married at Minneapolis Raymond Russel Miller, who will

be remembered as the driver for the Spicer-Willmar bus two years ago, was married to Dorothy Hope Ashen-den at Minneapolis yesterday morn­ing.

The Willmar Tribune: The writer has been both commend1*

ed and criticised because of his former article presenting the need of a com­munity house for Willmar. We both expected and welcome it. But in or­der that no one may have any mis­conceptions as to the nature of the community house we advocate, we beg leave to enter your columns again.

Every thotful and far-seeing man and woman of Willmar recognizes the urgent need of such a building, but not all agree a s to the nature and scope of its ministration.

In order to insure its permanency, it must be the center of everyone's interest; a place to which the whole community may point with pride; di­rected by one who knows the busi­ness ; managed by a board of directors of the highest moral and Christian ideals. Anything else will gradually deteriorate into nothing but a cheap play-house, and prove a pest instead of a benefit. Nothing but the best is good enough.

"What type of a building is in your mind, I hear someone ask?" In general: 1st. An up-to-date gymna­sium with a swimming pool, indoor baseball, basket-ball and volley-ball court open on alternate evenings for men and women. 2nd. A reading room stocked with the best magazines and periodicals. 3rd. A room where young men, and women might meet and mingle with one another in a social way. 4. A good sized auditor­ium where the people of the communi­ty might meet for intellectual devel­opment thru lectures, literary and musical entertainments, a religious service on Sunday afternoon, as the board of directors might direct.

Such a building will cost money it is true both to erect and to main­tain. No small group of men can hope to maintain such a building to the credit of Willmar, the whole­hearted backing of our citizens is necessary. Willmar will have a community building; there is no doubt o f it. The question is "Shall we stand united for a community-building and a community program which shall be of the highest and the best, and shall always be maintained in such a way that w e may point with pride to our Community Home, or shall we sit down, do nothing, and be satisfied with something less?"

We are pitting money against the social and intellectual betterment of our city; yes, the preservation of the character of the youth. Which would you rather have? We stand for the best.

indeed sad. She leaves a heart­broken husband and three little children. They moved to Willmar in 1918 from Rock Rapids, la., and last year her husband built them a beau­tiful home.
