5, W2 Mason City, It. Showing which way the wind blows Hobo soup A product known as Hobo Soup will go oa the market the middle of this month. The idea for the soup came from the National Hobo Convention at Britt, where huge containers of it are served. Bob'Murphy in his "Reporting at Large" column of the Minneapolis a Tribune stated the new product wili.be put out by L. A.

Kaercher, publisher of the Ortonyille, Independent, and his son, Jim, the editor. "It has quite a story behind it," said Murphy. "In his youth Lem Kaercher a few times rode the rods seeing the country and became interested in hoboes. He's now 70. Ten years ago, looking for a feature yarn for his newspaper, he went to the Ortonville hobo jungle and got acquainted with the boys.

"They dished him up some soup out of vegetables and stuff they had picked up or scrounged aiid he thought it mighty tasty. His story about it every now and then would bring a traveler to his office seeking a handout. "Kaercher later that year, without identification, attended the National Hobo Convention in Britt, Iowa. Shortly afterward an Ortonville restaurateur concocted the soup, made a special of it and sold out about 50 gal Ions in one day, repeating the occasion frequently afterward. "The Kaerchers got the idea of canning and marketing the soup and spent some time working on the formula.

Some rough estimates have 'already been drawn up. by a subcommittee headed by Tom Waggoner but, pending the further study, they were not presented. Of those expressing opinions, most seemed to favor a down-town location for a civic center as the most desirable both for community activities and. for conventions. However, no formal action was taken to rule out the North Iowa Fair board offer of land for a building at the fairgrounds.

Griffin agreed that total community participation should be called upon before any project can be carried out. 'However, tie said, all facts' should be marshalled by the committee and a conclusion reached on the basis of those facts rather than having collection of ideas to present to the community. Griffin again said he favors a professional study of community needs arid economics as a guide in determining civic center size and facilities; needs. However, the majority'indicated that a call for such a study is not needed at this time. There was general agreement that needed high school facilities must be provided, and 'there was discussion as to whether Mason; City residents would support financing of both school building and civic center construction within the near future.

H. I ens ee spoke strongly in favor of viewing the two items as real--and not conflicting needs. School and community needs arid financing means are distinct from, one another," he said. City government is virtually debt-free, he said, and needed improvements should not be put On the other hand, Ted Enabnit said he believes there is no chance for both school and civic center' projects at about the same time. Opinion mostly was somewhere between those expressed by Isensee and Enab nit.

The discussion followed review of a long report submitted by M. L. McQueen of Waggoner's committee. The report listed civic center needs as ex pressed in earlier general com mittee reports and-listed -ad vantages and disadvantages of various suggested types of cen ter. Two basic needs were listed.

One is for facilities for trade show, banquet, meeting and exhibit areas combined, the other for a theater type facility. As only an incidental need, the report listed facilities for indoor circus, sporting and spectacular shows. The longest list of advantages was for a downtown civic center with emphasis on meeting facilities and sacrifice of the best concert facilities. Costs of con- jtruction and operation, parking facilities and particular Mason City needs were considered. It was pointed out that by ing it for use also as a community, fallout shelter 'there would be a possibility of receiving federal aid under the proposed federal budget.

School located center advantages listed were mostly'incost saving, but it was-pointed but that many civic center functions sueb as trade shows arid ventions 1 could not carried on in school area. Cost also was the main advantage listed for split facilities--a downtown civic; center plus a school concert hall type auditorium. Site costs would be less but total cost, more. However, as pointed out in discussion, the scho'ol must have an assembly auditorium, regardless of other community facilities. While a number of advantages--in cost, parking, expansion area and support money- were listed for a fairground location, the reporting committee found that such a site does, not meet either the convention or concert needs.

Some other disadvantages based on the distance from the business center also were listed. Another report, by Rod -Skillman of the Chamber of Commerce, had to do with public desire for a civic center. He reported that such a center was listed.as a major need at each of the chamber's recent series of discussion meetings on city problems.
