The free entertainment last evening
at the North Topeka community
house. given by the Church of the
Good Shepherd, under the direction OF
Miss Margaret Prout. was exception
ally we'll attended. A Christmas can
tata in costume was the chief feature.
altho other numbers on the program
deserve mention.
The community house was packed,
stand. room only available This
crowded condition At entertainments
held here emphasizes the need Oc a
more commodious building in which
entertainments can be held The
question of a larger community house
to meet these requirements has been
mentioned tentatively at various times
at meetings of the North Topeka Civic
club. While the need is recognized, II
is believed that the time has not vet
come for making this improvement
But the more progressive of North
Topeka's business men predict that
within a year or two North Topeka
will have an up-to-date community
house with modern equipment and a
hall with a seating capacity able to ac-
cammodate a full sized North Topeka
attendance.
Number one fire station has been
mention as desirable for a community
house. Used in connection with a Y.
NJ. c. A. for the North side, this place
is favored by many. Rumors of a
change in the location of the fire sta
ton TO a side street persist. At pres
ent a part of the building IS used as a
garage With the installing OF motor
fire equipment the station is larger
than needed.
