the building interests whose task it
will be to supply the additional
homes and business structures. As
the grain man deals with farming
interests, yet resides in town, he
should be able to see both sides of
the picture. The Red Cross home
service chairman and a minister
are recommended because of their
contacts with servicemen.
When this committee has worked
out an information questionable, it
can be published in the local pa
per, for our weekly paper goes to all
the boys and girls in the service.
With the questionnaires returned,
the committee can begin to COM
pile information. Then they can
canvass the community to see what
jobs will be available so that when
Sam, who wants to be a partner
in a grocery store, comes home, he
can be sent to see old Mr.. Fuller
who wants to retire from active
work and become a silent partner.
On the second committee, the
Memorial, I would have five men,
bers, all men interested in sports:
the high school board athletic chair
man, the grade school board athlet-
ic chairman, business man,
farmer, and veteran, the latter to
be chairman.
Trees As Memorials.
Wtndstorms have played havoc
with The beautiful trees for which
our town is noted. What better
memorial to our war dead than
stately tees? should like to see
the village. which is now free from
debt, PLAN American elms and hard
maple trees in the parking: the
American etra because it is a quick
growing tree and the hard maple
because it has the most beautiful
autumnal foiag. of any tree know.
As a memoriA to our gallant
fighters who return, should like to
have a well-run sports program. A
number Of things may be consid-
cred, among them an outdoor SWIM
ming pool at the high school, with
the school showers and dressing
rooms available to the swimmers.
The initial cost might well be met
by popular subscription with the
school operating the pool after
wards.
During the summer vacation, the
pool could be open suitable nights
from Z to II with swimming classes
scheduled certain afternoons from 4
to 6. The athletic coach should be
the director. In the winter the pool
could be flooded and used for ice
skating.
Softban might well be revived, for
the grounds are still available and
it would not take long to hook up
the lights. Four organizations such
as business firms could each spon-
sor a team with one or two nights
week set aside for double header
games. There should be no admis-
sion charge, but collection should
be taken to pay for the lights. More
over, consideration should be CIV
en- to reinstalling croquet courts in
the park for the youngsters and
marking off space for horseshoes
for the oldsters.
My town faithfully follows high
school basketball, which provides
excellent winter recreation. A sur
vey should be made, however, to
see how the high school gymnasium
may be used winter evenings for
adults for calisthenics, volley ball,
handball, basketball and folk dane
ing. In all of this sports program
the goal must be to use available
community resources to provide a
varied program to reach the great
est number of people.
Educational Needs.
Last but not least is the Educa-
ton committee which should consist
of five members: the high school
principal, the grade school princi-
pal, a town father who has children
in school, farm mother who has
children in school, and high school
alumnus, the latter to be chairman.
The business of this Education
committee should be to make sur
vey of the postwar educational needs
