Community House Needed

For years, we understand, various individuals and
organizations in Durant have talked about the desiraDI
ity of a Community House but no one has ever done
very much about it.
There is nothing that could bring as much pleasure
to so many people as a Community House.
That such an undertaking would be a lot of hard
work goes without saying. But it would certainly be
q worthy undertaking and a lasting monument to the
organization ambitious enough to undertake 1t and put
it across.
