CIVIC CLUB ASKS SIGN
 FRED BEVIER PLAYFTELD

A business meeting of the Civic Club was held last Saturday after noon and attended by twenty mem bers. Business of importance to come before the meeting was the resolu- tion offered endorsing the erection of a Federal building here, and a discussion of the use to which the money realized from the sale of the shed that formerly stood on the lot north of the city hall.
 While the club comments highly the improvements made in the school gym, it was felt that money which had once been part of the Beyier legacy should be used for the play field, that being the intent of the donor As the land on which the shed stood as well as the shed. was purchased with the money left the city. the club approves using part of the s350 realized in putting the ground into shape for playfield. erecting a sign bearing the words "Bevier Playfield" to honor at last the man who loved children enough to make such a generous gift to the city, and installing a sandpile and some low swings for the younger children. The gym, it is felt, will all ways be used by the older groups and any improvements needed should be paid for from other funds than the proceeds from the shed sale. The club was unanimous in this recom- mendation and will assist in making the playfield an attractive place for children. With the space that is available, there will still be room for tennis court that can be flood ed for skating in winter if the public is sufficiently interested to back the project.

The Women's Civic Club party Fri gay night held in honor of husbands and escorts was a delightful affair and thoroughly enjoyed by club members and guests alike.
 Elks hall had been beautifully decorated for the occasion in a Val entine motif under the direction of Mrs. H. H. Hungerford. A huge val entine suspended from the ceiling in a panel at the end of the hall made an arresting note in the dec oratiye scheme. Palm trees fashion ed from stripped and wired cedar boughs in wooden tubs, were most effective, as were the bowls of tu- lips, the red and white streamers from the ceiling lights and the wall arrangement of hearts. Mrs. Hun gerford also made the clever favors holding valentine candies. She was assisted throughout by Mrs. L. B.. Chisholm.
 The evenings entertainment be- gan with the fashioning of valen- tines from materials supplied at each table accommodating four persons. With red and white sheets of con- struction paper, lace mats, cello phane ribbon, and crepe hearts, val entines were made with the aid of crayoIas, paste and scissors. After fifteen minutes, tiny white hearts were distributed bearing the nameI of the person to whom the valentineI was to be sent. These were mailed from the Valentine post office box made by Mrs. Meadows with c. w. DeRemer acting as master of cere- monies. The finished products varied widely and displayed much talent. The humorous valentine mailed by L. B. Chisholm was judged the1 best.
 Progressive old fashioned table games such as parchesi, finch and tiddely winks, among others, were played and scores noted on hand made cards fashioned by Miss Mary Mclaughlin. High score prizes were won by Miss Gwen Carruthers and Arnold Krone, consultations by Mrs. J. ". Pritchett and Robert Murphy. For coming the nearest to pinning blindfolded a Cupid's dart on a spot indicated on a huge heart on the wall, a special prize was awarded to Mrs. P. c. Mccormack.
 Delicious refreshments were sery- ed following the games after which a musical program was rendered. A sextette of club members sang twcI songs, Mrs. Moe and Mrs. John Coulter played a piano duet. Mrs Moe a piano solo and Mrs. Coulter two vocal selections.
 Club song books were then usedl for lively period of assembly sing ing ably led by Mrs. Leo Osterman, which proved to be one of the high lights of the evening.

U. S. CHAMBER CHAIRMAN
URGES FISCAL REFORM
Appeals to Congress to Devise
Plan to Correct Evils
in Financing.

Fred H. Clausen, Horizon (Wis)
manufacturer and chairman Of the
Committee on Federal Finance of the
Chamber of Commerce Of the United
States, yesterday appealed to the forth
coming session Of Congress to devise
plan to "set the Governments finan-
cial house in better order"
In statement to the chambers
board Of directors at its September
meeting here Mr.. Clausen specifically
asked Congress for termination of
deficits through decreased expendi-
lures rather than through new or in
creased taxes: to establish as an
objective provision for definitely
scheduled reduction Of debt; abandon
the policy Of spending money primarily
for the purpose Of stimulating busi-
ness activity, and to provide that all
Government agency expenditures be
aduited by the controller general.
He also urged 4 policy Of placing
progressively larger responsibility on
State and local governments for relief
expenditures and suggested creation
Of q special congressional committee
to exercise continuing control over
Government finances. Specific duties
Of the committee would be to consider
and make recommendations on totals
Of proposed expenditures and revenues
for the ensuing year, he said.
