INSTALL HEATING PLANT.
Looking toward cold weather ac
commodations at the Soldiers’ Club,
the War Camp Community Service has
made arrangements to sHclose the
open-air pavilion and to instal a small
heating plant there. This will prevent
interruption of the mid-week and Sat-
. urday evening daiices, which are so
popular \yith“the men in uniform. Ad
vantage of the present quarantine is
being taken to do this work.
The joint campaign will be.,conduct
ed at the request of President Wil
son. The local branches of all these
organizations will receive a portion of
the funds raised and which will be ap
plied to local 'activities.
COMPANIES NINE AND TEN CON
SOLIDATE.
The Tenth company under the com
mand of Lieutenant Raeder, has con
solidated with the Ninth company,
with Lieut, James S. Gough in com
mand. The first sergeants of the two
companies. Sergeant Boggs, of the
Ninth, and Sergeant Gilmore, of the
Tenth, flipped the coin to ascertain
who should be the first sergeant of
the consolidated company, the win
ner being Sergeant Gilmore. The t-wo
are getting along admirably, and in
the Charlotte parade Saturday they
expect to show the other companies
the value of first class training and
discipline.
The pavilion is forty by sixty feet
and the cost of enclosing it all in glass
to be used as a sun-parlor, as had been
hoped, has been found to be prohibi
tive, and it will be necessary to use
glass for windows only. ■ The public
at large does not know how the work
of the War-Camp Community Service
is financed, and it is not generally un
derstood that the only source of reve
nue that the club has is its canteen.
That small income is of course stopped
during the quarantine period and
amounts to very little during the du.ll
seasons when' the club population is
small as it has been for some weeks
past. Every other service rendered
men in uniform at the olub is free.
