TheV3Norwulk' Chapter or the De

the 16 100111 house at 1 Elizabeth

It is proposed that the organiza-
tion form a. holding company, which
will be incorporated. . Help is being
askedio buy the building of Illa-
sons, and persons interested in De
Malay work.
The Norwalk Chapter now has
1510 members—young men between
the ages of 16—21. The extensive
program. as laid out by the organ-
ization, would be more ably carried
on with a club-room.
If the building is purchased, it
is proposed to furnish it and rent
0
some or the rooms to out-of-town
members, who are living temporal-L
1y inVVthe city. Inasmuch as Nor-
walk- has no Y. M. C, A. building,
to Still this need. such a. procedule
‘would be an asset, it is claimed.
If the club house is stag-,ted it
will be run accordinz 10 Y. M. C. A.
