Great Lakes
CountryClubln
Reconstruction
Anew program ia underway for
the Great Lakes Country club sub
division which will include the
construction of anew clubhouse to
replace the old building which was
razed by fire a ftnv weeks ago.
The work ot clearing the debris
from the scene of the fire is the
work at hand and is a large piece
of work in itself. Steel from the
! old building is being cut and dis
mantled. The comoany tractors are
making short work of the breaking
down of walls of the old founda
tion and hauling of load after load
-of rock and mortar; -cleann*_lyr
the new clubhouse which will be
'■
old one.
Tentative, plans for the building
are being made which will differ
in lay-out and construction from
the old buildirg. Much thought is
going into the building plans as the
new club house is to function as
a strictly private club and will re
quire a different type building, will
include small private game rooms,
etc. The clubhouse and grounds will
be private to lot owners and mem
bers only so a building will be
constructed to fit the needs of an
institution of a strictly private
nature.
Claywell Turner of Thirtieth
street, a lot owner has been out
already this season enjoying the
privilege of hunting which is re
served to lot owners only, and
bagged a few cottontails. William
Osby. a lot owner and director of
the Great -Lakes Mutual Ir-suraiue
company, ate his Sunday dinner of
pheasant shot on the country club
property.
In the picture shown elsewhere
in this issue can be seen workmen
in the process of clearing the debris
from the basement of the clubhouse
under the direction of the care
taker, John Goodsoi.. The tractor is
one of two owned by the Great
Lakes Land and Investment com
pany and is of incalculable value
in the large work program that
has been undertaken by the com
pany in the development of the
Great Lakes Country club subdivi-
Sales and contract payments
reached a high in the month of
October. Asa private institution the
Great Lakes Country club is des
tined to become the most exclusive
institution of its kind in the coun
try and nvucߔsTgnificance is at
tached to this as the reason for the
increase in interest shown.
Corinthian Baptist
Services were well attended Sun
day morning at Corinthian Baptist
church. Rev. C. L. Lindsey, evar.gel
tst. guest preacher for the past

8:8. the subject of which was "My
