Rotary Hears
Of Center Work
Arthur Larkin, field director
of the Red Cross in charge of
the recreation center in town,
was host to the Rotary Club
Tuesday at the center and spoke
to the members on the club’s
work.
The center building, which is
leased by the Red Cross, is to
be turned back to the lessor as
a community center after the
war, along with the improve
ments and additions the Red
Cross, has made. The facilities
of the club are open to all
branches of the servies and the
club is also used for Catholic
services and American Legion
meetings at present. Civilians
are welcome at any time, Mr.
Larkin explained, and may use
facilities whenever it doesn’t
deprive service men of them.
He also announced that the
center’s library of over 1500
books is now open to the public,
without any charge and with a
limitation of one book being
withdrawn at a time. The Alas
ka collection may be used at the
library by anyone for reference.
The center also has in mind
turning the library over to the
public after the war to be used
as a nucleus for a public library,
if such arrangements can be
made
The center caters to an aver
age of 350 persons a day and
has had over a thousand in one
day, Larkin said.
Guests of Rotary at the lunch
eon were A. R. Rogers, Ouzink
ie, James Martz. manager of the
Orpheum theatre, and A. S.
Rowe, San Bernardino, Calif.,
employed on an Alaska Steam
ship vessel.
