Financial Support of Civic Organiza-
tion Is Sharply Requested to
Keep It Functioning.
Duty of the Chamber of Commerce
members in paying dues to the organ-
ization is set forth in forceful and
even caustic phrases in a letter to
those still delinquent signed by Tom
B. Matthews, president. To vitalize
this civic body, it obviously must
have money as well as lip support.
Dues for the final quarter <if last
year and for the first of the current
twelvemonth are in arrears with a
good percentage of members. Money
keeps trickling in slowly, very weakly
and to be able to function, the
Chamber must he financially sound,
officers point out.
Drafts on banks were enclosed
with the urgent plea to pay up now.
which was mailed last week. Ten
days before that a forerunner having
the same purpose was sent out. This
makes paying dues the least incon-
venienience for the members who
have carelessly let their dues fall
behind.
u rpees
Faulkner: Junior Methods. Dr. j. O.
Hassler: Worship in the Church
School, Dr. M. J. Neuberg.
In order to secure the greatest pos-
shle co-operaton between the Sunday
schools, Mr. Shannbn is urging every I
and | Sunday school worker to be at the
mass meeting.
