While this property is not especially adapt ed to the requirements of a boys club, it has served the purpose the hast eight years; the life of the club. To those who have not been privileged to participate in the purchase of the property there is the opportunity to | ecome interested in supplying heating plan ard sh )We.' bath Loth Ot which could be installed in the base ment at a nominal cost, thus adding greatly to the comfort and value of tho club.
