MILLFJI LUMBER COMPANY
Senator W. T. Redfeam’a idea of
having a county wide maas meeting
to liaten to snggeetions as to what
kind of a war memorial the county
should build was utilized by Sumter
county with marked successf'accord
ing to reportk from the Gamecock
city.
A central commKtee consisting of
representatives of twenty-one o f
Sumter county’s leading organizations
has submitted ks report and the com
mittee’s decision Is that a Veterans
Memoiilll building erected in honor
of all white veterans of the two
world wars suits the needs of the
colnmunity and will give to the coun
ty the finest memorial possible.
The committee held that the build
ing as planned will afford Suihter
a living / memorial for the Sumter
county,, men who gave their lives in
the cause.
The plans for thb building are a
two story affair of generous size the
first floor of which is to be entirely
reserved for white veterans of Sum
ter County of not only World War II
but of all wars. The second story is
to be reached by two semi-circular
ramps or staircases on the outside.
The second floor can be reached with
out the necessity of entering at any
time any part of the first floor. This
upstairs room shall be of large size
and sufficient to hold. If neceesary,
a gathering of from 600 to lOOQ
people, and perhaps more. This shall
be used by the citizens of the county
of Sumter under the direction of a
governing board which shall be later
constituted with representatives from
the Sumter County Board of Commie
sioners and from the Council of the
City of Sumter together with other
representatives. The downstairs floor
shall be a home for white veterans
resident of Sumter County and* shall
contain a large library, lounging room
dining room, dressing room, kitchen,
and everything to make a livable,
comfortable home. The building will
be steam heated throughout and the
lower floor air conditioned. More de
tailed plans of the building will be
announced In these columns as the
campaign progresses.
The cost ‘of the building will be
176,000 and added to this will be the
expense of equipping H.
, Senator Redfeam plans to call a
meeting of representatives from all
organizations and cities in this coun
ty shortly after the first of the year.
A central committee will be named
and after listening to the suggestions
made at the meeting will submit a
report to the county delegation and
board of directors.
The groups represented at the Sum
ter meeting were: Sumter Merchants
association. Rotary club. Junior
league- Farm Bureau, County Board,
