The weather of the past week has
been the means of holding up con
struction of various buildings that
are now under way in this city and
vicinity. Up to the time of the snow
last Sunday morning, the weather
had been such that much Roadway
was made on many of the structures
now under construction, but with
the snow came a cold wav that has
done much to delay building. Should
the present weather continue for any
length of time, it is very unlikely
that the contractors will be able to
complete the various structures or
the dates specified.
Among the buildings witch have
been considerably held up due to the
weather is the high school addition,
the showroom of the Dorsey Motors
Inc. in Maple street, the Maple Real
ty Company office and store building
at Smith street and Madison avenue
and the new addition to the Simmer
bakery in Maple street.
During the past week the contract
for the construction work of the
new hotel at Morgan has been
awarded to Morris Eager of 222
Market street. The building is be-
ing built by George Anthos and will
contain ten rooms, dance floor and

CHILDREN WILL
AID SOLDIERS
Schools 6 and 8 to Put on En-
tertainment for Hos
pitaI Inmates

Cooperating with the American
Legion in it's efforts to do some
thing worth while for the wounded
boys in the hospitals in this vicin-
ity a move has been started which,
IL is thought, is a thorough nov
city and If it m~aterializes will mean
much to the confined soldiers. Paul
Steele. principal Of schools 6 and
8, has offered the services of sew
eral of his children to put on a
Christmas entertainment for the
inmates of Fox Hills or the Ma
rine hospital, which supplemented
by the plans CT the local post to
distribute some necessary or desir-
able articles among the boys. will
bring without doubt the spirit of
the season to those who are unable
to be at home.
From all indications the plan will
work u satisfactorily. At a meet
ing of he executive committee of
the Legion. held last night in head
quarters, the matter was brought
before the members and looked
upon with much favor.
While the entertainment itself
may not be elaborate, the idea of n
novelty for the boys, in the form of
children, a group of whom, perhaps,
the bed-ridden fellows hav~ not seen
since their induction to the hospital.
and the spirit which will probably
enter with the youngsters, it is
thought will mean much to the boys.
According to the plans made last
night, the children and the post will
adopt one ward where the time and
effort will be spent, choosing. If
possible. one of the wards which is
visited least. Mr.. Steele's youngsters
will start their practice Immediately
and it is thought that by the time
their services are desired, will have
perfected an interesting program.
Transportation for the group will
be furnished by the American Le-
gion whose representatives will go
with the children, and in the near
future a plea for three or four tour
ing cars may be made.
