remained for an Iowa banker-farmer
to make a practicable proposition to
establish a social center in a rural com
munity. Banker Jasper Thompson, of
Forest City. through a letter from his
son, Bert Thompson. advised Senator
Kenyon today that he was building a
fine. modern house on his farm near
Forest City and wanted to turn it over
to the community as a social center.
The son warmly indorses the plan.
Senator Kenyon advised the depart
meut of agriculture and asked the de-
partment to send a federal expert to
Winnebago county, where Forest City
is located. 1t is not certain the de-
partment has the funds available. If
the expert is sent he can live in the
house furnished by Banker Thompson.
''Mis is a practicable start toward
establishing the social center for the
rural community" said Senator Ken

department will send an expert. We

Since this order was issued Villa, ac-
