loAnother Joplin Asset. HIt is hard to overestimate the value of a $20,000 club- ^ house for the Schifferdecker park municipal golf course in w: Joplin. It will be one of the real assets of the town for years to come.There is far more to it than the mere accommodation of9the numerous Joplin citizens who play golf. Present plans ylt;Ci1provide for the construction of a building that will be an f]i architectural credit to the city, and something we will be an glad to point out to visitors as an evidence of our modernity c)(gigiheand civic enterprise. Located on the site of the. present ig- sh noble structure, it will command a view for many miles ‘tlaround Jasper county, and will be a dignified and beautifullandmark, glorifying our principal park. x ,knnc;tirAs an attraction for tourists, too, it will be of conse-| unquence. Millions play golf in Amer: :a today, and the game an is still growing in popularity. Unquestionably a large per-1 s'v centage of all who take summer tours by motor play the | pc game with greater or less dexterity. Since the Joplin municipal course was first created it has been a magnet for | be visiting golfers, and has been the means of keeping many transient visitors in the community for weeks where ordi-* | • ,ynarily they would have remained but a day. But there has always existed at the course lack of bathroom fa-1 ou cilities, a lack that will be eliminated with the erection of the new clubhouse. With a course where they can have I thlt;-their bath and change clothes after their game, visiting /I milgolfers will be more than ever inclined to give Joplin a | he generous portion of their vacation trip to the Ozarks.9The new clubhouse will be one of the city’s finest as-1th' sets and those who have been most responsible for its as-thlt;plclyoisursured acquisition deserve the highest commendation for bl their efforts. thef,eii
