TWELVE I. " J-. ji A is '-' i it ,t -. .if : i ''M IS- ' it ' ' l )i HI 1 IL- i i ;- - m ii HOME PROPOSED AS , M'CLURE MEMORIAL Would Dedicate Hospital Build ing to Memory of Beloved Wilmington Pastor The Alexander D. McClure Nurses' 0te. That will l the name of the proposed home for nurseB that the pub He will bt asked to erect, through con tributions, at the James Walker Mem orial hospital. Thus tne building will be a memorial to a man who was great ly beloved in Wilmington and also an institution that will properly house' the J nurses of the institution and release rooms in the main building for the use of patients. Such a building as is proposed will cost approximately $70,000 and it is hoped to raise that Bum in the $100,000 campaign that a gfoup of citizens will launch for the James Walker Memorial hospital on Tuesday, February 15. The remaining $30,000 is needed to wipe out a present indebtedness incurred for operating expenses and in order to care ' for charity patients. With these two big objects, the citi zens backing the campaign believe that success is assured, that the public of Wilmington must be errateful for the work being done by the James Walker V Memorial hospital and must realize that it cannot meet the demands upon it unless It has adequate facilities. Conferences of members of the ex ecutive committee, which is headed by George B. Elliott, and team captains were held the past week and optimism prevailed-; All of these workers will buckle down to the Job this week in order to prepare the way for the in auguration of the canvass next week. ; The , memorial . to the late Dr. Ms Clure will, no doubt, meet with popular favor and will be something especially appropriate in memory of a man, whose . . work was so largely that of carrying cheer to the sick in every section of the city and who was so deeply inter , ested in the James Walker Memorial hospital. To Lay Cornerstone of BeaMU S Building at Church of th& Covenant: To ouiiomiiL nHMiw HERE WITH ' ' ' " " "' Will ' Speak ;Twice; Today; arid Continue Here Throughout . the Week - BALL PARK FIRST ITEM OF COMMITTEE'S SLATE The cornerstone of the new Sunday school building of the ' Church of the Covenant. Fifteenth and Market streets, will be laid tomorrow after- ! noon at 3:80 o'clock. The ceremonies will be in charge of Rev. J. O. Mann, pastor, of the church.'

The cornersto.ne will bear , the inscription "Kenan Memorial Building, 1921." and will be at the cor ner of the main entrance on Fifteenth street. " The building . is designed In modern Gothic architecture,: conforming in de sign and material with the church building. The exterior walls of the building are' of Plymouth seani' face granite, shipped from quarries at Way -mouth, Mass., laid up in Random Ash lar bond. The roof is of vari-colored slate. The-general lines of the build ing and the material used give it an appearance of qualntness and age, and when completed It will be one of the city's most beautiful structures, and gives to the Church of - the Covenant one of 'the most complete church plants in the entire, south. ' . In no feature of the building is the' completeness of all detail shown more clearly, than in the interior furnishings and arrangements which' Ijave - been provided. . The entire basement of 'the building is arranged -so that it can be' used 'for the social entertainment' of the people of the church and the com munity, being divided into"' four club rooms, one of which will be for the women, one for the 'girls, one for' the men and' one' for the boys, v with kitchenette, storage pantry and all ac cessories. Each of these .rooms, will be furnished in keeping with the pur-i pose for which it is intended to be used and is provided with red tile floors. There will be rolling partitions divid ing the club rooms, which will make it possible to convert the club rooms, into assembly rooms when the occasion Is large enough to demand It. - . , The first or main floor will accom modate ' the Sunday school assembly and ,wHl seat approximately 350 per sons, but is so arranged that, by the use of modern folding "doors its" seat ing capacity can be made to take care of 525 people. Also on this floor will be room for the superintendent's li brary and five class rooms, and a large room for. the junior' department. The second floor is taken up witn balconies, the upper part of the assem bly room and seven class rooms. The. interior is. finished in white oak woodwork, all of the" floors being of cork tile and the dividing walls con structed so as to be sound proof. The entire treatment of the interior will be of Gothic style with exposed Cham ferred wood member trusses' spanning the Sunday school assembly room. The plans for the building were pre pared by Kenneth M. Murchison, archi tect, of New York city, who designed both the church building and the manse, and who has associated with him; James F. Gause, a local architect who is supervising the construction of the building. When completed and furnished, the building will cost over $20(1,000.00. - The building committee is composed of J. Holmes Davis, chairman; Rev. J: O. Mann, H. Lacy Hunt, Laurence Sprunt and C. L. Meister.

TO PETITION CHANGE OF PARKING REGULATIONS Councilman Hall, However, Would Oppose Request Leave First Meeting More En-1 thusiastic Than Ever Initial steps to be taken by the base ball steering-committee, named at the mass meeting of local baseball fans Friday night to perfect plans for the sport In Wilmington this summer, will be to secure grounds for a ball park. This was decided at the first meet ing of the steering committee yester day afternoon at the office of the chair man. W. IT.. French, Jr. Present at the session were all of the other members of the committee, John F. Bloome, P. I Knight, H. M. Ware and Eugene E. Graham. The committee went thor oughly into the proposition of provid ing a ball park for the city and of getting membership in the proposed league and announced that It is now more enthusiastic than ever over the prospects of making a success of the venture. It was pointed out by Chairman French that some definite decision as to the location of the park should come hcfore everything else. The committee 3s still in favor of the grounds at Sev enteenth and Ann streets .nd every effort will be made to close the option that is now held upon this location. The option provides that the property can be leased for a term of years at a ,nominaI figure, but the committee Is anxious to have Inserted In the papers a clause which will give the fans the opportunity of purchasing the park at a stated firure should the baseball venture here prove successful. Among other things taken up by the committee yesterday was the problem of securing the $10,000 that will be necessary to get the grounds, construct and equip the diamond and park, place an amount of money in the league fnnrl and assure the' pay ment of the salaries of the players for a period. No definite action was taken regarding this - matter,1 'though it has practically been decided that the fund can probably be best raised by the sale of stock to , the local fans and busi ness men..
