Hall and lot with the inten- tion of using the structure for a recreation building for service men. The option is to be taken pending acceptance of an application from the city to the Federal Works ncy for a $30,000 appropriation | with which to convert the buxldmg1 for use. The city already has an appli- cation in ashington, asking for $75,- 000 with which to build 2 new hall with funds from the Community Facilities Act. The second appli- cation in Washington asking for $75,- It was decided to reduce the re- quest for funds after the city was informed that the request for the warger amount probably wouwld bej denied, but that the Federal Works Agency might consider appropriat- ing funds for remodeling a build- ing at a lower figure. Under this plan, the city would provide the building and lot, and the Federal Government would set up the funds for remodeling and furnishing the hall. Architect Harold B. Foss submit- ted to the city an estimate of $50, 000 for a firstsclass job of remod ing the hall. This figure would in- clude complete remodeling, inside and out—new partitions, interior painting, new floors, windows, wir-, ing, plumbing, heating and a stuc- co finish outside. The council decided, however, that it would be possible to make the building suitable as a recreation center for $30,000, but that this fig- ure would include only a minimum of remodeling. | | | SONOTONE g hearing aids for the hard of hear- ing.

Mr. Flakne added that any registrant who wants help in filling | out the questionnaire can also get it from his employer, his labor union, or members of the local Se- lective Service Board, without charge. “It is extremely important to our | whole victory program,” said Mr. | Flakne, “that all the information called for in this occupational cen- sus, which is being conducted jointly by the Selective Service and the United States Employment Service, be furnished accurately and prompt- ly. This information will make it pessible for the Govenment to de- termine the work every man is best qualified to do, whether in the Army | or in the plants producing war | materials.” Mr. Flakne made it clear, however, | that the U.
