Scouts Move To Temporary Headquarters
The Boy Scouts of America Egyptian Council has moved to temporary quarters on North Park Avenue in Herrin while a new Scout building is constructed. The former Illinois Central Depot was purchased by the Herrin City Council for 16 000 and will be demolished for a municipal parking lot. Dwain Murphy said the Bank of Herrin will rent free use of 204 N Park Ave until spring. Two lots on East Herrin Street near International Staple and Machine Co. will be bought for permanent quarters with a March 1944 completion target. The land owned by Irene Duncan will cost 2600 minus a 200 donation from Mrs Duncan, funded by the Retail Merchants Association.
