Members of Juvenile Branch
Hard at Work to Win the
Trip to Ely.

Judging from the accounts received
from the several states of the Union in
which the contest for Juvenile members
of the South Slavonic Catholic Union is
on, the attendance in Ely on the oc-
casion of the convention in August
promises to supercede anything hereto
fore attempted in the convention line.
The contest has developed to the
stage of keen rivalry among those en-
rolling new members. In order TO be-
come a delegate the contestant is re-
quired to enroll five or more into the
juvenile department. Every lodge that
has a total of 200 or more members in
the juvenile branch as of April 80, will
be entitled to one delegate.
Lodges with a smaller membership
will be merged by Supreme Secretary
Anton ZbaSnik. If there are more than
one candidate within the lodge or COM
bined lodges, then the candidate who
enrolls the highest number of new
members will be chosen as delegate.

Prospects Bright For
Community Building;
Initial Plans Prepared
PWA Officials Give Local
Committees Proposal
Encouragement.
ELECTION NECESSARY
Two-thirds of Cost Would
be Provided by PWA
for Labor.

The Ely committee who attended the
session with Highway Commissioners
Elsberg in St. Paul last week also con-
ferred with PWA officials in regard 70
funds for the erection of a Community
building in this city The conference
was very satisfactory, the committee
stated, and il was learned that funds
could be had for such a project.
Rough tentative plans had been
even with this material assurances
enough were received to warrant the
preparation of permanent plans and
estimates before submitting the request
for funds to the PWA The officials also
desired to know the ms and outs of the
matter and what the city was prepared
to do towards the construction Of such
a building.
The committee were told that the
PWA would provide two-thirds the cost
of the structure for labor and that the
city would be required to furnish the
balance. For this purpose bond issue
would needs be voted
mat the DOnQ issue would De voted
by the electorate Of Ely if put TO them
is almost a foregone conclusion With
two-thirds of the cost furnished by the
PWA, the bond issue would be rather
small. Should the building be con-
structed of native stone or homemade
brick, more than two-thirds Of the cost
would be available on account Of labor
relief.
Messrs Slabodnik, Schweiger and
Skala, members Of the City Council,
who looked into the matter at st. Paul
with City Engineer Somero, feel very
optimistic regarding the outcome of the
conference. Others who accompanied
them to the meeting also feel that the
building IS assured providing Ely will
do its part.
