The hall was started last summer and the work was comâ€" pleted this year, inctuding the layâ€" ing of the floor which is of smooth cement. ‘The hall has 2400 square | feet of floor space, the area being | 40 feet wide and 60 feet long. The | building itself is of frame conâ€"| struction with wide windows which | allows a nice breeze in hot weaâ€"| ther. At the front of the hall is a | small stage which is suitable for a | bandstand if the need should arise. | To the right of the stage is a coke bar and both were very gaily deâ€" corated for the occasion of the opening. ‘The hall is lighted byl chandelier type fixtures which will tventually be wired so that they will have three intensitics of light much the same as a triâ€"lamp. ‘The new hall will be used for various purposes which, will inâ€" clude nieetings, dances and bridge. ‘The afternoon‘s activities began with a swiming meet held at the Beach and sponsored by the Aquaâ€" tic Club. Dr. A. C. Stone, the prexy of the club made a few remarks to open the running of the events during which he mentioned that such meets would be held approxiâ€" mately every two weeks during the summer. These activities howâ€" ever would not, he felt, conflict with the work of the Red Cross but rather would be in coâ€"operation with that body. Dr. Stone was introduced by Mr. Harold Overholt, who was Master of Ceremonies for the afâ€" ternoon and who, after Dr. Stone had concluded his remarks, introâ€" duced the following officials: Judâ€" ges, Bob Dunn, Don Barclay and Jack Bennett; Starter, Joe Behse; Timer, Buzz Ogilvic.
