CIVIC WORKERS
BACK FISH MART
: federation Takes Up Matter
indications are It Will
be Established.

Whether there viii be fish mar
ket or not. that is the question. II
was discussed from all sides and
viewpoints az the regular monthly
meeting Of the Civic Federation at
the Jefferson school building on
Monday night. An enthusiastic
delegation from several Of the civic
clubs voiced their opinions th5
6sh market proposition and it is
fairly safe 20 say that there viii be
fish market sooner or later. but
Just where or when or how is a
matter OF further discussion and
consideration.
War emergency food gardens
we're also fully discussed by those
present, but on account Of the at
tendance being so small no steps
we've taken for the formal presenta-
ton Of the proposition. However,
IL is very likely that the Civic Fed
GRAFTON will back up the war emer-
gency garden movement during its
existence. Home gardens are go
ing 70 be an absolutely essential
thing for food production and food
conservation go hand in hand and
certain it is that South Bend Will
have to have more gardens this
summer than ever before" said r.
+. Wolfe. who is head OF the mu-
nicipal recreation committee activ-
ity in the city. The home garden
projects work out under the super
sision and Interests of the munic-
pal recreation committee. The
municipal home demonstratOr will
be in the city very shortly" con
tinued Mr. Wolfe. land part Of her
luties Will be TO give whatever as
sistance she can in connection with
the home garden work. especially
after the production Of the garden
stuns. in the canning and preserv-
ing OF them"
Boost Community Music.
Community music is being more
strongly urged than ever before.
The local school heads have been
requested to cooperate with the mu-
nicipal sings that are to be held
throughout the country during the
week from Feb. IA until Feb. 21.
Letters have been received from
Washington by Supt. J. +. Nuner
and Miss Enie T.. Harmon. director
of music i'm the city schools ask
ing that patriotic music be used en-
tirely during that time i'm order
that more Of a patriotic spirit may
prevail in the schools. 1t was
further requested that on one of
the latter days OF the week, a mu-
nicipal gathering be planned and
that patriotic singing be the feature
Of the program. Mr. Wolfe told of
the great blessing that music is in
the trenches and spoke of the worth
that should be derived from 10 back
home if such great good could be
realize- from it over there.
The first thing that a man asks
for when ne comes out of the first
line trenches" said Mr.. Wolfe, lis
"a bath and music, and IN the back
lines there is either a battered piano
or a music box of some KIND. 1t
surely seems as if music should
have some proportionate effect on
the people at home. Community
singing must be taken up by the
people of South Bend and put
through successfully
Want Ladies Exchange.
There may be a ladies' exchange
I'm south Bend The proposition
was presented at the NEE "7g last
night and very favorably received.
II was suggested that il be run in
connection with the fish market but
the fish market proposition seeming
still 20 be such an uncertain one. 1t
is hard TO say whether the ladies
exchange viii be run in connection
with the former or not. But the
civil, Federation insists that there
shall be a fish market IL was re-
ported that the mayor and the mu-
nicipal market authorities have Of
fered the use OF the city market
building on Colfax av but it was
suggested that it might be more
satisfactory TO have a separate
building for the fish market. Sew
era1 places were suggested but only
one seemed worth considering at
an. IL is more probable that moro
definite ARRANGEMENTS viii he made
at the next meeting OF the Fedora
tion.
Want PoliCcwoman Retained.
IL was also rumOred that there
was talk of doinE away with the
services of city police women and
il was urged that petition be pre-
scented 90 the proper parties urging
that these officials be kept I'm the
service Of the city.
