unanimously of the opinion that the
present building is unsuited to the
needs of the town as a community
center. 1t was pointed out that while
the building is mortgaged to approx
mately $1,000, the property, because of
its location for business purposes, should
bring price that would enable liquida-
ton of the indebtedness and leave
enough to purchase smaller and less
expensive site and erect building to
house all of the civic activities. Rentals
from the present building are sufficient
to meet all obligations and the corpo-
ration will await a reasonable offer.

only undeveloped corner in the heart
of the business section of the town.

The citizens association meeting, which
preceded that of the corporation, added
its force to the already strong oppo-
sition which has developed in the
county to the proposed establishment by
the N. Auth Provision Co. Of an
abattoir In the county.
A letter from Frank G. Campbell,
chairman of special committee ap-
pointed by joint meeting Of citizens
of Aurora Hills. Virginia Highlands, Oak
Crest and Arlington Ridge to fight the
project, brought the matter before the
association
Although outnumbered more than two
to one, there were nevertheless some men,
bers of the association who favored the
project. They argued that it would be
good tax revenue producer and were
of the opinion that there was nothing
objectionable about a modern packing
plant, a type which the Auth Co. pro-

With the opening of school ra- pidly drawing near, football talk is beginning to fill the air and within two weeks the aspirants for posi- tions on the high school eleven are expected to be called out by Coach George M. Cassidy. Prospects for the coming season appear bright and the local school should be rep resented by strong aggregation.
 Most of the football men have kept in shape during the summer months by doing strenuous work. During the last few weeks, individ- ual members of the squad of last season have been visiting Willow Brook park where they have been limbering up by tossing a football around.
 Some of the stars of last years team who are expected to give Coach Cassidy help in shaping out this years team are Captain Joe" Potts, Billy" Ross. Bogdanski. "Peewee" Zaleski and a large num- Der of second team men. "Bill' Mangan is expected to capture one of the end positions. Ross proved to be one of the fastest broken field runners in the state last sea- son and Coach Cassidy will pin most of his hopes on him this sea son. Potts and Bogdanski, linemen last season, are likely to make bids for positions in the backfeld.
 Enthusiasm is running high due to the glorious victory over Hart ford last November when the wear CTS of the blue and white were -ex- pected to swamp the locals. The annual classic will be played in this city this year. The schedule is one of the hardest that has been ar ranged in some time and the Red and Gold standard bearers will have to give their best in order to cap ture the state title.
