A committee was appointed some time ago te investi- gate the possibility of obtaining rooms in Plainville at a cnnveni‘m place for The task allotted to the committee has kept its members busy since that time. The first' prospect considered by the committee was the possibility of ob- taining' quarters in the new Neri block. "The awners were approached and negotiations were in progress for some time with the view of securing a lease of rooms on the second flemr of the building. It was believed for a time that the legionaires had solved the problem of headquarters but the owners of the black finally raised the ob}ecrion that the men would make too ‘Tifch noise in the building and that the other tenements would be considered undesirable as a result. With the raising of this objection the nezotiations fell through. An attempt was wmade 1o lease rooms in the Newton repository on Whiting street but the committee was infarmed that plans are under way to convert that building into a fheater ead that it will be impossible to rent club roonis in the place. The coniniittee is new conducting negotiations with the ewners of the Allderidge block preparatory to get- ting a lease of ¢lub rooms in the building. The bilock is now in course of alterations and the repairs will require some time for completion. The comniittee has reported that the All- deridge block seems to be the only possibility and that success in ob- mmmr Tooms there seems probable. ‘Womeén's Auxiliary.

The women’s organization is to governed by rules to be prescribed by the national exeeutive committee of the American Legion. A temporary charter will be issued based on a temporary constitution adapted from the constitution of the American Le- gion. The women of Plainville evinced much interest in matiers pertaiping to the welfare of the soldiers ‘dur- ing .the war and after the cessation of -hostilit; and the local post and the commiitee members anticipate no difficulty .in getting under way the plans for a women's auxiliary.
