state.
Here also will be hung the largest
available maps of the state and
here may be displayed relics, and
heirlooms from the state as well as
products and Sundry articles Of in
terests. For example, at the time
Of holding the Winter Fair
wheat, oats and barley grown in
Kansas may be on exhibition in the
Kansas hall Of fame, and at the
same time leading daily newspapers
from each state will be on file for
those who care to read them.
The Mexican hall OF fame will
afford a close up study Of the
neighboring country, rich in his
torical facts, folklore and achieve
ments. Each Mexican state will
be asked to contribute to this hall
Of fame that it may portray the de-
velopment Of the entire country.
The Canadian hall Of fame will be
a source Of interest to the Valley
residents and it is surprising to
know the number Of Canadians liv-
ing in the Valley and who will join
with their efforts in having each
and every province represented in
their hall.
The floor space of the building
covers nearly three-fourths of an
acre Of land and will seat about 5000
people. 1t will afford a place for
holding large conventions and SIM
liar meetings. One state organiZa-
ton has already expressed its de-
sire to hold its convention in the
Valley as soon as a hall with a
seating capacity Of 5000 delegates is
available.
The various state societies Of the
Valley and other organizations will
be able to use the room and chairs,
tables, kitchen equipment and 9TH
er necessary supplies for banquets.
Dances and other such social func-
tions will also be held in this build
ing.
Mr. Skunk said the educational
possibilities Of the project are I'M
limited. There would not be a
history class in the Valley that
would not spend n day in eacn
year in the Valley FORUM" he quot
ed a Valley teacher as saying.
What is needed most at this time
is the sincere cooperation of every
citizen of the Valley in making a
full and complete display in every
hall Of fame, and any suggestions
that are sent VIII be appreciated
Skunk added.

Once hearings are opened upon the

latter part OF this week to attend the
national convention of the Disabled

will be held to celebrate the first ami

There IS now before the controller
general a request for reconsideration OF
the decision barring from the benefits
