Editor News-Times: The location of the frospectlve Masonic temple is a paramount issue before the Masonic fraternity at tills time and calls for very careful consideration. As I am informed, the committee on location has options on three different pieces of property, cither one of which has points of advantage. They have options on the northwest corner of Main st. and Colfax av.. th northeast corner of Lafayette and Jefferson blvds., and the southwest corner of Main and Wayne stt. Tho northwest corner of Main and C'olfajc av.t known as the Oliver Plat row, consists of threo full lots. This tract has many advantages. al a number of disadvantages, as it appoar.s to me. First, it would be a pity to destroy this row of flat buildings in view of great necessity that now exists in the city for residences. The- street car line on the east, and the city building- would be detrimental to th property on aceount of the noise of the street cars and the rlanp and clatter of the poller patrol. Also it would be surrounded by business buildings on the south and east side, which would not present a very attractive landscape. On the west side it would bo bounded by the beautiful Elks temple. Parking space for automobiles will hu a very necessary part in the desirability of the location. The birg membership now attending the Elks' temple uses every available spot in parking- their machines on Colfax av., and with the addition of tho Masonic temple in that vicinity would make it impossible to find parking1 space for the machines. This property is located only one square west of Michigan nt.. which would be a great advantage. Personally, I am in favor of building a temple entirely for Masonic purposes, with the execrtion of using the large auditorium, possibly for thevwor or moving picture purposes when not in use by any branch of the order. I would be opposed to having our building used for commercial purposes. The next location that I would take up is known as the Carlisle property, situated at the northeast corner of Jofferson and Iifayette sts. Personally, I would b more interested in having the building located on this site than any other, because what property I have In the city has all Lafayette trt. frontaxo. This is a very durable location for the temple, but some of the same objections are applicable to this site that I have enumerated regarding the site at the northeast cornrr of Main and Colfax av. It would be surrounded .almost entirely by business buildings and it would be one square further away from Michigan st., which Is now nr.d always will be the principal north and south street in South Dend. I think It desirable to locate this building s near Michigan st. as possible, in view of the fact that if being used for theater purpose?, an advertisement can be easily arranged to show over to Michigan st. from the Main st. location. The two tracts described have the same nmount of space, three full lots. I believe this is more ground than Is necessary for the use of the temple, and I am Informed the option on both tracts is $150,000. Taking up the tract nt the southwest corner of Main anil Wayne sts.. known as the Pugbee tract, we find this consists of two full city lots, 1"2 feet on Main st. and 1C3 on Wayne st. I would like pvery Mason In th city to l'o to this corner and standing facing east you will observe the b'-autiful public library with its amide ground. On the right you will observ the First Christian church: looking r.orthea.-t you will observe the Y. M,. C. A. building, one of the very finest in the United States. Turning to the north, you will observe the First Ilaptist church, a beautiful structure. These buildings ar- permanent and will form a setting for our temple that cannot bo excelled. The word "temple" imI lies' something beautiful, and wc can Imagine a beautiful building located at this r oint, surrounded as it will be. by the surrounding's just enumerated, and certainly the setting is perfect. You may build a beautiful building, but if you do not have corresponding beautiful surroundings you have forever marred the bullding. I believe that the tract Just described is amply large for the purpos-. Here we have the ideal parkins conditions for machines, no street cars and no business houses to Interfere with the parking privileges, which can extend up and down north and south on Main st. and ast and west on Wayne st. Electrical signs can be readily seen up and down Main st. and east to Michigan st., advertising the building. There can be no question but what the business center of South Pend will gradually drift to the south and west Another significant fact is that within one square of this location is now the center of populttion cf South Bend. I am compelled to believe that this is the ideal location for the future welfare of our order and also the most desirable location that could be selected in the city. The option on this property is $ 1 np.oei'.', which would be a saving of $.".o.y00 over either one of the other ortlons. I believe this subject should be t;k-n Up and discuss d by thr public as well as the order its' If. because we are all interested in mak-

G 1! Member o f Expeditionary Forces Here Under Auspices of Legion. With Z00 hundred tickets already sold through personal solicitation on the part of members .and promise of a general demand for box otfice sab s, members of the American Legion post cf this city are looking forward to a triumph in their first progTam, to be staged at the Oliver theater, Friday, Feb. 13th. Josef Kcnecny, Bohemian violinist, and a member of thi Legion is the stellar attraction of the evening. M. Konecny appears here in a program strengthened, if possible, by Miss Martha Stelzl. soprarro, and Miss Mary Tri, pianiste. Tho three artists extraordinaire are in this city for their fourth appearance at Notre Dame university, and have concented, on behalf of the legion to appear at tho Oliver theater. Hold MoetJmr. A meeting of men most active In arrangements for tho program was held last evening in the oftices of Col. George Freyermuth, commander of the South Bend post. A report on tho number of tickets sold prompted an urgent request that people sccuro their reservations as varly as possible at tho box office. Tho box orfico sale opens tills morning at 10 o'clock. Konecny, while a Bohemian by birth, enlisted as a private in the United States army soon after war with Germany was declared. Not until he had reached tho shores of France and after he had unobtrousively entertained his buddies aboard the submarin pursued transport did his officers learn of his talents. Soon thereafter he was ordered to the A. E. F. entertainment circuit, where he appeared for months, cheering John Doughboy from the leave areas through tho S. O. S., and from the service of supply to tho very lines. I 'liters Iecdon. Horn on tho other s:do of the ocean, but an American at heart, as his enlistment proved. Konecny returned to this country to enter as heartily into tho American Legion as ho had entered the army. Ho was among tho first members, and sinco the Legion's organization Ikks appeared in its behalf wherever possible. . He saw that the Americanization policy of the Legion was needed badly. Coming here to arrango for his Notre Damo engagement, Konecny asked about the local Legion post. He was referred to Col. Fryermuth. He, learned that the Legion possessed somo 6 0-0 members in South Bend, but that there was a la.ck of general public interest ind a sorrowful lack of funds. Ho offered his services, for his expenses, but stipulating a sca!o of prices, CmxmI Critiques. His criticisms everywhere have been as helpful. One thing regarding his program Konecny will play not only classical numbers, but the doughboy favorites as well, in his encores. Some will be surprised at the wonderful tusto of America's fighting men on tho other side and in camp here. Music meant a great deal to them. And they wanted good music. Hundreds of ex-service men are planning on attending the Friday night entertainment". The Legion will bo well represented. It is hoped there will be a general responso in a well-tilled house on the part of South Bend music lovers. High School Notes Henry Bimm was reelected president of the senior class of South Bend high school at a meeting held Monday afternoon in the auditorium.
