Community Hall
Dedication At RedWater


last Friday evening to take par
in the dedication of the fine n "
community hall which has been er
ected at that place, by what i
known as the Community League
Those going down report a large
crowd in attendance and t h a t {
most glorious time was had.
The Redwater people are sure
some real boosters, they are as en-
terprising and energetic a bunch
as will be found anywhere. What
has been needed down there real
bad was some sort of place for en-
tertainments, so this bunch of real
public spirited fellows down there
got together and built it. The
hall, of which any town might well
feel proud, is 32x70 feet in siz e
and has a stage 12x24. All t he
material was bought, but the work
was all donated.
Here is what the Redwater Store
News had to say regarding the de-
dication of the hall:
A beautiful starlit night was Oct.
9th, a night befitting such a frohc
as the opening of the new Commun-
ity Hall. Early in the evening
from the main street of Redwater
one could see auto lights flashing
in all directions heralding the ap-
proach of the multitude who were
to help dedicate the hall.
Over two hundred people graced
the scene with their presence and
made the evening m erry wit b
laughter and dancing. The hall
was decorated with flags and bunt-
ing and brilliantly Illuminated with
electric lights by courtesy of Mr..
Winkler of Circle. Stuart's or
chestra, the best in the country
furnishing the music.
Judge Jones gave the dedication
speech which is as follows:
Members of the Community
League and Friends. In speaking
to you ladies and gentlemen, just
after we having been satisfied for
years that if there was any portion
of the inhabited globe absolutely
in a suffering condition for want
of entertainment it was Redwater.
With this in our minds, we just
eight months ago tonight formed
our community league which took
inall the territory around Redwater.
Then we took in our hands to re-
medy this suffering condition. Yes
we did remedy it, not only for us
but for all of us, that we might
have better place to live.
So tonight we dedicate this hall
upon that principle on which it
was built, that principle was friend
ship. Our friendship was tested.
Yes, it was a tested problem. There
was not a cross word spoken in all
of its construction and everybody
knows that was a problem of test
ed worth and that worth was good.
So our community backed by our
league with H. Strobach President
and Will King secretary and trea-
surer, and about twenty-e ig h t
other well-to-do farmers, all with
same motto. Success in life" in
everything depends upon thenum-
Der of people one can make him
,elf agreeable with, built this hall.
We mean to make ourselves a.
greeable with everybody and unite
he whole country for miles around
2edwater into body of friends.
We want everybody to look at this
lall with pride. Take the cities,
hey have their places of entertain
ainment. What would they be If
hey did not? They would be dis {
and their young people {
would move to places where they :
ould enjoy themselves to better
dvantage. Our neighbors a n d !
riends here and around Redwater
new this and therefore built this c
all, that our young people might
