ISH RELEASE SIX ) COMMUNITY HELD POSSIBLE IN CASPER Chamber of Commerce Calls up Subject in _ Hope That Suggestion Will be Carried to Realization-in Future Program the community house program. Many states have passed laws which allow the leyying of a special tax for the erection and maintainance of a community house, one part of which is a hall or auditorium dedicated in memory of world war soldiers. Casper has a number of, o+ganiza- tions which could use such a building, it is pointed out. In course nf time, all of these will put on campaigns for per- manent homes, All will want to lo- cate such homes in the business dis- trict, and the securing of proper sites ‘whl be a big problem. It seems feasible to many people téscombine all efforts into one and erect a $500,000 building which. shal) contain an auditorium where conven- tions can be. held, concerts and lec- tures given, swimming pools for men and women, gymnasiums, reading and rest rooms, etc, ¥ Tt has been suggested that the ¥, W. C.A,, already organized and es- tablished here, be asked to ‘assume ‘eontrol and complete ree of the Women's section Of the building, ‘carry- ‘ng on “= work there. ‘The Y..M. C. A. which will eventually ‘be organized here could do the same for the men’s sectiort The building might be made large snough to provide separate club rooms for the American Legion, the Boy Scouts, Welfare organizations of the Midwest and Standard Refineries ete, The control of the building would be vested in a committee or board made up of representatives from the execu- tive committees’ of each of these or- Sanizations, When the matter is taken up by the Chamber of Commerce each organiza- tion which might be assigned to a part of the Community Building will be-rep- resented on-the program and it is ex nected that the arguments for and against the plan will all be presented. Tt is agreed on all hands that these organizations need buildings in’ which to house their activities, and the econ- omy of the plan to bulld one building adequate to the needs of all and at the same time a structure of which the city may be proud shoul@ have a Aistinct appeal.
