HALL PLANNED
 FOR MEN AT FORT WHIPPLEI
(From Sundays Daily )


 A. A. Fisk of San Antonio, district representative of the War Camp Community Service, one of the seven organizations represented in the re- gently staged united war work drive, was in Prescott yesterday to arrange for some of the preliminary details incidental to the opening of a down. town club room in this city for the use of the enlisted men at Fort Whipple. Tentative arrangements have been made for the use of the Episcopal parish house for this pur- pose until some other quarters are obtained. The Community Services general plan is to establish in the vicinity of each military post or can tonment a recreation center in which the troopers may feel at home while away from the post to which they are attached. So far nothing of this sort has been provided for the men at the local barracks, and many complaints had been received from various sources because of the fact that the boys had no amusement center in the city proper.
 The parish house, which for more than a year has stood practically un used, will be immediately fitted up with pool tables, a library, piano etc, and transformed into one of tho most comfortable club houses to bt found anywhere. Dances will bt held here for the soldiers at leas' once a week, 10 which the young wo- men of the city will be invited. Tho function of extending such invitations will be vested in committee of wo men headed by Mrs. H. H. Linney and in this maner it is believed tha the boys at Whipple will be enabled to meet the best sort of young wo men of the city and the complet. elimination of the presence of an un desirable element can be accomplish ed.
 Funds will be made available i'm mediately for the equipment anc maintenance of the recreation center The work will be under the i'm mediate supervision of Rev. Georg' .C. Golden, rector of the Episcopa church, Rev. Golden having had great deal of practical experience along these lines during his stay a Nogales. Dr. A. B. Wilson was nam ed as chairman of the executive com mittee. M B. Hazeltine treasurer an' Rev. Golden secretary.
 Through the establishment of tn social hall in the parish house, tn city will see the return to the com munitv Of a portion of the fund which were collected hereabouts dur ing the war fund drive. The fund O S170, ,500,000 which the managers o the campaign sought to raise, will b spent partly at home and partl abroad-wherever there are soldier 50 receive the benefits of such ex pcnditures. Consequently the men Whipple are just as much entitled t have some of the funds diverted t their use as any of the army mer Owing to the fact that the life of tn organization is limited to a period O two years at most, no new construc ton of buildings to be used as socia centers is contemplated. for quite likely with the demobilization of th' big United States army will come the stoppage of the funds with whicl the good work is being carried on.
 Rev. Golden stated yesterday tha' it is planned to have the new recrea "ion house in readiness for the khak boys by the time the present ban or public gatherings is lifted by th' health authorities.
 Miss Mcintosh. who is superintend- ing the activities of the women ir connection with the establishment O. the recreational centers, accompanied Mir Fisk to Prescott. and in the af ternoon met with number of wo men of the city who arc interested !in the movement. and gave then
