SAILORS SLEEP ANYWHERE.
Since Canteen has Been closed Sailors
from Great Lakes Have Hard Time
Finding Places to Stay at Night.

Confronting the people Of Kenosha
is the problem of entertaining the sailor
boys who come up here on visit from
the Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
tion. The sailors like Kenosha and
like to visit here but since the canteen
has been closed there is no place for
them to sleep at night or to eat at an
expense commensurate with what they
are able to pay for meals.
On Saturday night the boys were
sleeping at different public places in
the town. They slept at the fire de-
.partment, at the police station, in the
lobby, club rooms, and sample rooms Of
the Hotel haywood and such other
places they could find.
At the haywood fourteen Of them
slept on chairs in the lobby. Others
slept on cots in the corridors, others
on tables in the sample rooms and the
club room. When the canteen was
open it sometimes taxed the ingenuity
of the good women who look after
that to provide sleeping places for all
the sailor visitors and now that the
canteen is closed the boys are out Of a
home for the time being.
