Keep Community Buildings.

One result of neighborhood and community activity during the wdt haft been the increasing desire in many regions to make this work permanent. To this end certain neighborhoods are preparing to acquire Landings originally erected for other purposes and transform them into community centers. Other towns which have temporarily • maintained headquarters for soldiers camping in their vicinity propose to make these headquarters per-

manent and broaden the scope of their service to the benefit of all. An interesting feature of the movement is the construction of community houses as memorials to the soldiers who died in the great war. Many of the community buildings are designed for the use of farmers and their families on business visits to the cities, according to information reaching the United States department of agriculture.
