Endorsement of the proposed me-
mortal building to the soldiers and
sailors of Maury county in the great
world war comes from Hon. Franklin
X. Lane Secretary of the Interior,
and by many regarded as the ablest
man in President Wilson's cabinet. In

endorsement" of the movement for
the erection of a community building
as Soldiers and Sailors memorial.
The letter from Secretary Lane to
Mayor Dedman follows:

man, Mayor, Columbia, Tenn
Dear Sir-May express to you as
the chief executive of your municipal
ity, my hearty endorsement Of the
movement now spreading throughout
the United States for the erection of
Community Buildings as Soldiers and
Sailors Memorial. In expressing our
gratitude for the patriotic service of
the brave men, living and dead, who
have helped to win the world war
for democracy and human liberty, it is
most fitting that we erect in every
community, living memorial rather
than a mere shaft or monument. 1t
has been suggested that these Commu-
nifty Houses be known as Liberty
buildings and that they be dedicated
as neighborhood gathering places for
civic service and fellowship for all
the people.
"The war has shown, in the camps
and camp cities, the great value of adj
equate facilities for fellowship and
public recreation. Now that the men
are returning home they should have
the opportunity through the coming
years, to perpetuate the democracy OF
the camps and to share with their fel.

facilities for discussion OF local and
national problems and for community
singing, drama, indoor athletics and
other forms of wholeome recreation

regarding the work in this county and
to give the new director the benefit

the county could well afford to ex-

tect the health of it's people. But it
would not require 20 per cent of $780,
900 to establish unit of the public

be possible to establish complete
