Legion Leases Clubhouse For Summer Season | Myers Brothers Will j Serve As Managers The Black Mountain American Legion has leased the clubhouse for the summer and will take over just as soon as the necessary ar rangements can be worked out by Legion representatives and the city attorney. The city council leased the clubhouse to the Legion tor the 1947 season at the regular meeting at the city hall Tuesday night. The terms were the same as those under which the place was operated last summer. Immediately after Mayor J. L. Potter had called the meeting to order and the minutes of the last meeting read, the floor was given to Douglas Jones, commander of the local post, and he informed the council and mayor that sufficient financial backing had been found and that the Legion stood ready to meet all requirements for taking over the clubhouse for the season. “The clubhouse and grounds will operate under the direct supervi sion of the Legion but active man agement will be taken care of by Myers brothers, both of whom are capable and well qualified in this field,” Mr. Jones told the council and Mayor. Former residents of Illinois, the Myers brothers have lived in Black Mountain for several months. C. C. Myers, former member of the athletic staff at South Dakota State college, Huron, S. D., is coach of the up and coming Legion baseball and softball teams. He directed the cage team last winter. His brother, F. L., served for many years as coach at Elgin, Illinois High school. Gordon Crawford reported to the council that a vacancy existed on the library board. Dr. Richard son was nominated for the post but action was postponed for fur ther study. The appointment was confirmed of Miss Margaret Hay and Mrs. Otty Leeman, each of whom will serve on the library board for four years. Mr. Craw ford reported that the library was badly in need of new furniture. Lions Give Jaycees Green Light o There are two projects in Black Mountain at this time which should receive the support of the town and vicinity: one is the Junior Chamber of Commerce Drive to raise funds for the light ing of the Ball Park, and the other is being organized by the Lions Club to raise funds for better fire protection. Through haste and misunder standing the dates for these drives collided head-on, and for the pur pose of ironing out our differ ences, a joint meeting was called last Friday night. The Junior Chamber of Com merce (Jaycees) is a new organ ization in Black Mountain, and they are making a Drive for their first project. They asked for time to complete this project before the other Drive started, and on a mo tion made by Lions who were not | members of the Jaycees, the Jay cees were given th “green light” to go ahead for a reasonable length of time. In appreciation for this courtesy the Jaycees agreed to give wholehearted support wnen the Fi're-Fjyhting Fund Drive gets under way\ As things now stand, you will be asked to contribute to the Ball Park Fund, now, that our younger folks and those spending their summer vacations here this sum mer may be provided with whole some recreation; and before the leaves fall, we hope to be better equipped for fighting fires. As time goes by you will hear moie about the Fire-Fighting Fund Drive. Charles E. Spencer, ; Chairman Pro Tern, Lions Fire-Fighting Fund Drive CONGRATULATIONS . . BBB&>. - H HERBERT W.
