relief we demand-in fact, will give us
better housing conditions than the
country has ever previously known.
This is not the wild claim of inn
/ practical Missionaries, but the sober
thought of practical men and the only
reason it has not previously obtained
universal belief is that it antagonizes
vested land interests which have had
/ controlling influence of public thought.
Land at Il low annual rent paid to
| the state will give cheap building sites
| in and near what are now congested
centers of industry and trade; it will
enable the production of materials, |
such as lumber brick, stone, iron and
other metals at much lower prices,
with great or greater return to la
Dor and capital as under the present
monopoistic control of our land, and
the housing problem, among others,
will be solved in natural way with
out resorting to Socialstic control
1.-THE Republican and Democratic
parties stand helplessly by, advocating
now and then some detrimental bust
community house thought. The town
has no soul, he said and it needs one
put in. He hears this wall all over. This
/ committee is tied up in a common pur-
pose and is looking at the thing from
practical viewpoints. He said the
/ building was needed here more than
anything else He wanted to have our
people have all the privileges of enter
tainment here at home instead of 60
! ing to Union Hill We have here, he
said, lot of talent and could give NOV
ing picture shows of our own and make
healthy our boys and girls in gym eX-
ercises
Mr.. Sibley then explained the noise
less way of constructing bowling al
| leys. He had been to see the Bruins
wick Balke-Collander Company he
said and it was easy to build them so
that 100 feet away no noise would be
/ heard
Mr.. Carson said: '.You all know
where our boys go evenings There isl
no other place" He wanted place
for the boys to play basketball.
| wi Ittdu dShtti IL DoNIlHS was Il Elp-
lation of property restrictions, and Mr..
Dintenfass was glad the subject had
been brought up as there was ample
unrestricted property in the village
that could be gotten cheap. Mr. Read
proposed to donate a lot in an unre-
stricted section, plus the mortgage on
it which he was carrying. Mr.. Roede-
/ thpnnht 70 CHI he
| ferred to the committee, and Messrs.
Read and Dintenfass were added to
| the committee. ~
! George Beckmann asked about a sort
of protest some felt about the church
managing the community house and
said some would contribute more if it
We're under citizen management He
wanted a separate management from
the church, as did Others and it would
then have the universal support of the
town. He also inquired about Sunday
opening He favored the stock COM
pany plan, he said, as some could take
| their money from other enterprises
without impairing their holdings and
put it in this.
I Chairman NdISbll SdiNl tltt dilSddt
church occupied a peculiar position in
| that it was mathematician and
| stood for all Catholics and Hebrews
were supporting the movement of the
local Union Church. 1t was for all
creeds 1t shuts out no one.
Mr.. Guhse spoke to the Sunday open
ing thought and said the community
/ i,rIt ha nnpnnd Snpda g
except for bowling.
Mr.. George F. Clark favored the
stock company plan and said people
with whom he had talked wanted a
clubhouse and would support it with
transferable memberships.
| Mr.. Sager said the committee had
concluded its plans after mature de-
liberation and thought the subscription
plan for community house the best.
The whole thing was to be pitched up
on a plan that would lend tone and
character to the town. He felt that
not ten per cent. would be raised il
they abandoned the community house
plan He alluded to there being no
/ taxes if the church managed the COM
munity house.
Mr.. Guhse, on Sunday opening, said
he wanted to be frank. His purpose in
coming to Palsade was to work out
| plan to get rid of the dead rot. He
stands for no sixteenth century re-
| ligon. He believed in the things worth
while. He was not considering him
self a bit. He could have $500
year more by gonig elsewhere. He
wanted no glory for himself. He
wanted all to get together The whole
thing is worth it, The community is
plenty big enough to do it, The whole
country is wide awake on this thought
Everywhere as he had before said. On
the Sunday question there are two
