We ara glad of the following ~ los
pective enterprise given in The Union
Signal, and wish similar plan could
be adopted in other large cities.
"Unless the PLANS laid by Secretary
George Fl. Houser of the Radens God,
Chicago, Y. NJ. q. A. go amiss a
temperance garden will be opened ia
compete with the many summer
gardens with which Ravenswood Ia
surrounded. In the place Of wines aud
beer, lemonade, pop and ice cream will
be served at cost. The saloon is to be
in the Y. M. G. A. gymnasium and
will be open every afternoon and
evening. On two evenings of each
week concerts will be given by the
local orchestra and a graphaphone.
The plan is devised to furnish enter
tainmept for the young people who
have been in the habit of frequentinG
the beer gardens.
We give this item as n matter O.
interest to those Of our number who d.
not see The Signal:
