ARMORY SOON
According to information receiv-
ed this week, a national guard ar-
mory for Stephenville is not only
a possibility but a decided prob-
ability in_ the very near future.
J3ome time ago a sum of $50,000
was embarked for the construction
of such a building .purpose of which
is to house the local unit of the
Texas National Guard. With added
impetus given the armory construc-
tion program by national defense
plans, it now seems highly prob-
able that not only will Stephenville
receive such a structure soon hut
that it also may be one that will
require an outlay of several thou-
sand dollars more than called for
in the original plans.
Figures mentioned ranged all
the, way from $50,000 to $90,000,
with an $80,000 or $90,000 build-
ing not at all unlikely. In any
. .* t e r w certa'o that at least a
