 Minor Treat. commander of the Bridgeport Post No. l, said today in talking of the plans of the associa- tion. What we want to do is to pro vide a place where the ex-service
 man can go and rest and have a clean place We do not approve of the plan to build barracks to house former soldiers out of work. Most of us who were in the army have seen enough of that sort of life What we aim to do is to have something more nearly approaching a home, or a club, a place where the unemployed soldier or sailor can get a clean bed and a shower and meal. We do not aim to do this only for members of our own organization, but for any former soldier who needs help.''
 At least $1O,000 is needed to start the work as it should be started The veterans hope that they will be able to get an appropriation from the towards their goal, just as the Ameri- can Legion did when they built their club house. At present the member ship of the organization in Bridge port is slightly over 400, and the na- tlonal body contains around 65O,OOO men.
 At the meeting last night the mem bers went on record as a body against the plan or Joseph Burns, one of their members, to build army barracks and establish soup kitchens for the needy ex-service men, Burns being urged to come in and join their own plan for a club house All of the men fe9e that they did not wish to go back to army life They believe that they are en- titled to the comfort which a well run club and dormitory can give them. The scheme is going through along those lfnes-a comfortable club to welcome any former soldier who is out of work. That is, the scheme is going through along those lines if the people of the city get behind the drive 1 for funds and make the plans possible Of realization. The World War | Veterans are confident that the war | has not been over for so long a time that the people of this city have for gotten the sacrifices that the soldier made.
