Notes From The American Legion This week we are writing | j about the building, building hall, The or is your ‘home and it can be enjoyed ivery much if you attend. We jwant have a kitchen and if you to eat out, just take your food and prepare it. ^ we want to enlarge the building and install rest rooms to make it more convenient to you and this will require money to build with. We want to com plete and modernize our kit¬ chen to make it a better place to prepare food, that is, to be lenjoyed by those who want it. [ our building is of brick ve- 'neer and the hall Is ceil, d with 'a beautiful sycamore panell- ! jng. The floors are of hard- wood and the electric lighting f s In the most modern design, This building, if it w'ere built today, would cost around 1 530,000 and it is a pity it isn’t being enjoyed bv more people than it is now We should fill it to its capacity and more, if |neee,ssary. Our home, Post 106, is the most beautiful building I have ever seen. We could make it better and more beautiful if we had more money to do with, but by getting more money, we have to get more members to help. I promised $20.00 to help install water fixtures but we need much more than that to get the job done. We must get it done to help you and me in making it a better home to go to for a litle peace and quiet¬ ness . Well, this Is all for this week but I will try to have more for next week I will try to write next week about our auxiliary v 'nnd their services. While at work, driving or at play, let’s remember to be care¬ ful, for the life you save may be your own I wish each read¬ er the best of health and luck. James C.
