GIVES ADDRESS IN
GREENFIELD HALL

In the Greenfield town hall on Men
day night the last number of the lee
ture course was given, the speake r
being Professor E. J. Ward of the ex-
tension depar tment of the State Uni
versity at Madison. His theme YVES
the Community Center" and told of
the work that is being done to bring
people together on common ground.
Mr.. Ward spoke in complimentary
terms of what has been at Morrison
vile IN Columbia county. The most of
, tae people in the village were of two
opposing religious beliefs and the sta
ton agent was of still another faith.
There was more or less discord ard
twelve years ago the station agent and
his wife set about to help the commun-
ity. They had a package of books
sent from the library commission and
for dozen years the residents of that
community have found the station a
c ,mmon ground on which to meet.
Thousands of volumes have passed
through the ticket window and the
community has become better place
in which to live.
Mr.. Ward spoke of 10000 or more
community meetings that have been
held this winter in Wisconsin, how the
thought is spreading. how civic work
should influence the world to- wipe away
war and discord and how such gathers
should make people see they were of
single race.
He spoke of the Staudenmeyer bill in
the Legislature which provides for state
aid for community work and also of
another bill which provides for a per
manent civic secretary in limited num-
Der of communities. He urged their
passage.
Before closing Mr.. Ward filed the
hall with a brilliant light and carried
away pictures of the audience.
The speaker was introduced by Mrs.
L. H Palmer who, with others in the
neig hborhood, have laboTed faithfully
to make the lecture course a success.
