Milford Service
Center Work Is
Pr
Very Nicely
Funds Are Needed, How
ever, To Complete Re-
pairs And Reitting;
Furniture Is Also
Needed.

According to information avail
able work on Milford's Service Cen
ter is progressing nicely at the
present time. The center which is
being sponsored by the Milford
Business and Professional Girls
Club, will be located in the old
Armory building on South West
Front street. The building is now
owned by the Pierce Hardware
Company.
Three upstair rooms are being
repaired and refitted for use as a
center. When completed there will
be a spacious lounge room, a fully
equipped reading and writing room
and a recreation room. All of this
takes money, and the girls need
some more cash donations to fin
ish this most worthy project. If
you have not already donated, do so
today-remember if your boy is in
the service and away from home,
the service center that he frequents
was made possible through the do
nations of people in the commun-
ity where his outfit is based.
Furniture is also needed, and
persons with either cash or furni-
ture donations should contact Miss
Sara Barcus at once. A list of do
nors tn date follows.
