COMMUNITY HALL
TO BE ERECTED
Fordwich Residents Form an As-
sociatiora.—Borrd of Directors.
Funds Secured With- Whch to
Start Work.
Fordwich, May 22.—For the past
two or three years the community
movement leas been at work in this dis-
trict and has advaed to a considerable i
degree, At a meeting Friday flight the
idea moved on at least one step farther
and was worked out into a more defi-
nite form. It was decided after
thorough discussion that an organiza-
tion be formed known as the "Ford-
wich Community Association." Within
this association every interest of the!
village and community is to be carried)
on. To carry on its work funds are
necessary. It was decided also that it
should be a non -sharing association.I
it is to be enmorporated with a char- :
ter, and under that charter to carry on
Hs work and care for all the communi-
ties' interests.
Organization Funds
The Athletic Association, out of
which this movement has sprung, has
at present somewhat over $300 which
it is ready to merge into this associa-
tion, Then too, the Agricultural Soc-
iety's interests in Fordwich ]rave about
$900. This is being merged as a be-
ginning for a fund for the purpose of
erecting a new building to be used for
agricultural purposes, skating rink and
various cotnmtinity uses.
A committee of Messrs. J. H. Rogers,
Earl Patterson and Wm.• Deans 'were
selected to secure' specifications and
possible .cost for, sech a building, and
to report at a latter meeting. A pro-
visional board of directors was also
elected to solicit funds and to perfect
plans also to be submitted to a later
meeting when the project will be fin-
ally decided and a permanent board of
directors elected. The provisional
board is: Wm. Deans, chairman, J. H,,
Rogers, Robert Sanderson, A. E. Fallis,
