70 1/2 Years Ago -- March 7, 1946 " The Collinsville News" -- Commander Kay Bayouth reports that erection of the Veterans Building in Collinsville will be started just as soon as material is obtainable, and this is expected to be possible soon. The Veterans propose to build the building large enough to play basketball in. They have purchased enough ground to make it possible to build a softball field for summer use. This they expect to light so that it may be used for night games. |
