inquiries that have come in on
this subject. The board of di-
rectors most cordially invites
your suggestions or criticisms of
this procedure.
The Richland county Home
makers clubs are very actively
backing the program for the con-
struction of this new home and
a general discussion of the sub
ject was had at a countrywide
meeting Of the officers of the
Homemakers clubs in the NYA
hall at Sidney at 200 p. m, Fri
day, April S. Secretary Milton
Anderson presented the matter in
behalf of Richland Homes, which
was followed by a question and
answer period.
All persons interested in OBJ
tanning voting memberships in
this newly organized corporation
please contact Treasurer Elmer
Sorensen or Secretary Milton G..
Anderson.
1t is anticipated that a large
number of people in the vicinity
of Sidney, Montana will want to
be members of this corporation in
order that they may take an &C
tive part in the voting and other
affairs of the project at all times
and particularly at any regular
or special meetings of the mem
bers of the corporation. The an
nual meeting of the corporation
will be held on the second Tues
day of September each year, COM
mencing with the year 1857 for
the election of members of the
Board of Directors and for the
transaction of all new and old
business pertaining to the affairs
and general welfare of the cor
poration.
AS the general public has been
informed, Richland Homes has
been Incorporated "for the pur-
pose of establishing, maintaining
and operating within the County
of Richland, State of Montana a
nonsectarian Christian home for
aged men and women, regardless
of race, creed or color and is one
which does not contemplate pc
cuniary gain or profit to the
members thereof"
Copies of the Articles of In
corporation and the Bylaws
will be printed 500 and with
each Certificate of Membership
such copies will be furnished. 1t
is anticipated that residents of
eastern Montana and western
North Dakota will get behind this
project and do everything within
their power to help it become a
reality. The need for good, de-
.endable Christian homes for the
aged becomes more apparent ev-
cry day. The many fires destroy
ing homes for the aged in the
immediate past six months, which
IN some instances have burned to
death many of the occupants,
demonstrates most wildly the
need for more adequate modern
and fire-proof structures.

yelopments pertaining to the
progress of Richland Homes.
