The Mendo Mill community center, a project unheard of less than a year ago, has now become such a powerful enterprise in the community that the people have realized a large board of directors is needed in order to create a cooperative organization out of the numerous activities this building must house.

F.

Michael, chairman of church activities; Elvina Michael and Melva White, chairman and co-chairman respectively of the social activity committee. With this board of directors willing to serve the people who selected them to the best of their ability, how can the Mendo Mill community center result into anything but what the people Mrs. N. F. Michael, chairman of the church activiites, says she will hold a religious hymn singing one- night a week in the community hall since a piano is now available for such purposes.
