YMCA to sponsor frequent weekend tournaments
The YMCA will hold a ping pong tournament every other weekend with signups in the off weekends. The top six players will face a six man team from the British Navy at the Naval Air Station for close competition and added incentive for youths to enter. Following a Brunswick town meeting a USO site deal was approved, selling Center Street schoollot to the government for 1 and budgeting up to 10 000 for a basement where an 85 000 recreation hall will be built postwar. If the basement plan failed a temporary wooden USO quarters would be erected instead. The USO, relocated from the town hall after fire hazard condemnation, now sits in the Codman House on Pleasant Street.
