Another problem arises here in
that the maintenance of the old
units at their strength means the
recruiting OF new men for them

line units and additional respon-
sibilities for them.

opinion, this would equal that of
the white troops in every instance.
One Of the main problems aris

Golf Members Discuss
Club House At Dinner
They Have Vision of $4,000.00
Structure Near Number
One Green

Discussion on proposed club house
at the municipal golf course was
heard Monday evening at the spring
banquet of the Oakland Golf club,
which was attended by about 65 peo-
pie.
Although there was no definite de-
cision in the matter plans were made
for possible construction of one cost
ing about $4,000 through WPA pro-
ject. The sponsors portion would be
about $1,000 and it was suggested
that the golf club members subscribe
half the amount and the city council
the other half. This plan is dependent
upon the decision of the new council
which will take office in April. The
plan was put into the hands of w. O..
Davis, Cartwright May and D. Ed
ward Offutt.
The proposed site for the building
would be on plot of ground east of
the road, near the present No. l
green.
