EDITORIAL
By Richard Jacobs
The interest taken by our mem
bers has established itself in a
very substantial way in the past
few weeks. During this long
period of rainy weather the club
room has been open day and night,
but we haven’t had large crowds
at any time. The members who
come out feel very much more at
home and seem to enjoy the fel
lowship as much as the games.
Many of our troubles have been
solved. Everyone however, has
been patiently awaiting an oppor
tunity; to go to work on our new
rooms. Many of the boys showed
up for work and we succeeded in
cleaning up the basement enough
to permit the plumbers and car
penters to install plumbing fix
tures and nartitions for the shower
b&ihs. The materials for this
work were held up a little bit,
but are now on hand, which will
permit us to do a great deal of
the work in the basement before
we move upstairs. (All of the
work on the club being done by
our members as a contribution to
the club). The boys are as anx

to play, in fact, play fell to a
very, low level as the boys stood
by to get to work on the club,
already built in their immagina
tion.
As this editorial goes to press,
Earl Parker is building benches
and preparing to set up his
machinery to repair and build fur
niture. This probably means as
much to the club as anj-thing that
has happened since the club began.
Mr. Parker will be running the
furniture business as a prive en
terprise during the day. at night
he will instruct boys how to do
the work he does and to build
many useful things for themselves.
His services come to the club as
a contribution from Mr. George
Miller and himself. Definite plans

have not yet been made as to the
arrangement for instruction of the
boys. At the present time the
most important thing to us will
be the use of the shop in which
we can make furniture, tables, etc.,
for use in the club room. Many
of our members are skilled at thi°v
work and are ready to go, as soon
as the materials and machinery
are ready.

The boxing team has laid oft
work for the last week, thinking
there would be something to do
at the club room, and will con

the work in the rooms until we
