BADMINTON CLUB iWallets Wil De Purchased SOLD TO MEMBERS For Ail Town C.ALUF.Men ARMY GIVEN USE- Street Sigus To Be Erected 1MýED EbibRine Mnn*v &n bu y.. chase Army Hall-When Playint Starta Not Detinite Negotiations which have been gaing on for about twa months have now culininatcd in the Bad- minton Club purchasing the pre- mises accupied by them, from McClellan & Company. Soon alter the Midland Regi- ment was ordcrcd ta recruit a battalion for active service it be- came evident that there were no adequate preniiscs available for this purpose in Bawmanville. Temporary arrangements were made with the Badminton Club ta allow the club rooms for recruit- ing hcadquartcrs and these quar- ters were very satisfactory'ý and canvenient. It was suggested by local Miii- tia officers ta Mr. J. H. H. Jury, who had cxpressed ta them a will- ingness ta asslat linancially any mave ta provide the military wîth adequate recruîting and training quarters locally, that he take steps ta purchase the Badminton Club premises and convey the same ta the Department of Defence. Mr. Jury offcrcd the owners of the building a price which they ac- ccpted in view of the intended purpose and the deai was closcd. However there was some delay before action was taken by thic Department of Defence at Ottawa and in the meantime the Badmin- ton Club members decided they would try and raise the money if thcy could purchase the premises for the same price at which the building had been sold ta Mr. Jury. The Badminton members were quit. willing ta co-operate with the military but f cît it should b. purchased if possible ta give the young people of the commun- ity a recreation centre when not required for military purposes. After some negotiation with Mr. Jury by the directors of the club, in which the delay at Ottawa was aiso a factor, and upon the direc- tors of the club assuring Mr. Jury that the club premises cauld be used by the Department of De- fence as the Department required .upoE. the payment of carrying Icharges only, it was agreed by Mir. Jur tha t he wauid withdraw ,%o the sale and allow the Bad- minton Club the benefit of the terms already made .by him with McClellan & Company. The Badminton Club have therefore been able ta secure the premises upon what is stated ta be very favorable ternis. The dii'- ectors state that as smon as defin- ite arrangements cari be made with the military authorities, an announcement wili be made about the opening date for badminton. For the information of out af town readers the Badminton Club building was farmerly the Salva- tion Army barracks located just t east af the Balmoral Hotel on King St. East. jEnsconccd in a glass case on tIc wall of Cawker's Butcher Slap is anc aI tIc most unique tributes ta service w. lave ever scen.
