if Zlmwaad With the termination of World War ll has come the turning locally to plans for civic improvement. La Crosse, situated ideally between scenic bluffs and the Mississippi River, offers much in addition to a picturesque setting. Its schools from grade through college are progressive and constantly adapting themselves to the demands of the time. lndustry, as exemplified by the numerous factories, has an interesting improvement and expansion program. To already excellent transportation facilities has been added the crowning achievement of l946, the new municipal airport. A new venture, also, is the city recreation program with its year-round schedule of indoor and outdoor activities for all groups. Building plans in the down-town district, some already materializing, will soon offer new space for professions and businesses. Over a thousand homes are schedul- ed to be built and almost two thousand are waiting for improvements and repairs. To its young people who haveability and ambition,post-war La Crosse presents inviting and challenging opportunities.
