If the Lions Club should decide a7ainst this project, it
is quite possible that a Listenin,`� iM1oorm and a Young People's
Rooi will be created in its place instead. As these rooms
would be separate from the main Children's Room and the :;lain

could be installed that would be of sound construction but
not nearly as expensive as the furniture of the main rooms.
