Village Trustee Wood was asked by ihe village board at it,

A letter was read from the Youth
.Commission relative to the matter
pointing out that the present
quarters of the youth center, in t
former church on So. Grove street,
are too small and not very suit-able
for the purpose. It was con-sidered
that a building might be
erected on the property which
would serve both as a headquarters
for Freeport's teen-age youth and
also as a living memorial to the
sixty-one Freeport boys who lost
their lives in the second world

the sums that are given for other
projects. Many of the. Army's local
activities may__haye to be curtailed
unless the budget is obtained.
