Communists House 40 BE soId?

Community House To Be Sold?
The question of selling the North
Topeka Community house has been
raised. An offer has been made by
the North Topeka Baptist church for
the property as the site of their new
church building.
In case the offer is accepted, the
material in the community house
would be used in connection with the
stone of the present Baptist church
building in erecting the new church.
The property at the northeast cor
ner Of Park and Jackson streets was
bought some years ago by the Bap-
fist church, and 1t was expected to
build the new church on that corner.
Work on the new church has been
postponed, owing to high cost of labor
and materials. The church property
on Jackson street has been rented and
now an offer to buy has been made.
A number of the church mem bers
wish a location nearer the center of
town and it was decided to make an
offer for the Community house.
The board of directors of the North
Topeka Civic club which were seen
in regard to the matter will bring the
question up at next meeting of the
Civic club, next Tuesday evening.
Shawnee Council No. g. will hold
the regular meeting Monday evening
at the hall, S51 Kansas avenue. Re
freshpents will be served to members.
Miss Steckley, formerly a worker in
China. will be present tomorrow, Mis-
sionary day and give a talk to the
Sunday school of the Kansas Avenue
Methodist church. Miss Steckley will
have with her relics to show the chill
dren.
