REORGANIZATION OF COMMERCIAL CLUB ON BROADER LINES URGED

- ! - - . ' 4 Suggestions for the development of the; Commercial club -were made at , the annual meeting of the club Monday: night following a talk by Secretary Carl W. Ullman, who will leave this week to take a position with the Dollar Savings Trust Company and First National Bank In Youngstown, Ohio. Mr. Ullman said: "There are three pre-requlsltes for the successful work of a community money, brains and sustained interest among the membership. Unless the organization has these three essentials it cannot be efficient in production. , "I should like to- see the thinking people of Richmond banded closely together in an organization of this kind that the organization may become of even greater value to the community. The organization Is now facing a crisis. "I came here looking for a cleancut unuequivocal and properly supported opportunity to bring about certain changes of an economic and social character in which this community like other communities stands desperately in need, but under no other conditions. "Nor did I come to see industrial prospects receive sole consideration. There have been prospects which would have materialized had there been capital available to finance them. Richmond can only grow rapidly industrially if our people choose to Invest In local industrial enterprises rather than 7 per cent preferred stock of selling corporations and gravel road bonds. The Kilo Meter company failed not because of lack of confidence in the prospective management, but simply because of apathy. We

havo put things over this year when we wanted to, other things have been left undone. No one individual or any group of individuals is responsible. Things were left undone for sheer lack of vision in all of us, without which Richmond must keep on running in the old ruts of submerged self complacency. ' , . Urges Greater Civic Interest. ' "I appreciate the support that has been given us and I appreciate the

nlflcance to the community. The club was Interested In war gardens and was partly responsible for the excellent record made by the city of Richmond. The memorial bill which Is now before the senate making It possible for communities to erect monuments to the soldiers and sailors that fought in the war was framed by a committee of the club. Active Interest has been taken In legislative matters. Fire prevention day was observed. The government naturalization agent was assisted as well as officials of the ordnance department In seeking buildings for war work. The United States Public Service Reserve, the Employment Service and the Council of Defense as well as all other campaign was activities were given the support of the club. Much time was spent on the city gas question. A committee acting in co-operation with the city administration made a report on the equipment of the Light plant and has recently had another survey made which will include a definite plan for the overhauling and operation of the plant in the future. Consideration as given many plants. Freight problems affecting rates and shipments were taken up. A committee of the club was instrumental in securing the Influenza hospital. Christmas greetings were sent to the soldiers and sailors from Wayne county. The Club rooms have been used by organizations and committees of all kinds. The income from dues and special subscriptions this year was only slightly less than last year. "Swat the Fly" leaflets were distributed through the schools. Letters were written to the graduates of our hleh school. Ad-

j dresses were made by Tom Skeyhill,

A. W. McKeand, J. O. Canosdall, John Wood, James Fiske, Henry U. John

son, J. H. Bentley and W. C. Wickhoff. i

The club has arranged to care for truck trains going through. FollQwing the reports a general discussion took place. A few members felt that Mr. Ullman been unjust in the matter of tho finanninr tho fluh

been undertaken, but I bespeak for Mr. Dill and my successor a much keener interest in civic affairs. , "I wish to say to those who have conscientiously criticized the organization during the past year that it was not the fault of the machinery hero If things did not develop to their liking, but rather because they did not take advantage of their opportunity to discuss matters at membership meetings. "I am hoping that during the coming years more attention may be given the surrounding country and that once for all we may appreciate that the city and country are interdependent." Mr. Ullman urged that the next president be a man who enjoys the confidence of the entire community,, and that he sees that the organization is adequately financed.

Mr. Ullman said: "I should like!

It is said that no woman's life is quite complete without at least one picture hat, and if this ft true here is the final chapter in the life of the fair lady whose face we cannot see.

penditures. Suggest Farm Organization. George Seidel praised the work done by Howard Dill during the last year. Mr. Seidel said "Mr. Dill shouldered the responsibility of the training camp and many other war activities that were carried on by the club." The club has never had a president who devoted one-fifth of the time that Mr. Dill has done to the Commercial club work. A rising vote of gratitude was given Mr. Dill. "Mr. Dill responded by saying that ho felt his work had been his duty.

"That danger must be guarded ajrainst," he is quoted as saying. "Those in pow er in Germany today are those who supported the war, and in addition the material forces of Germany are diminished but little. If France is attacked, the smaller nations to the east will be called upon to face war. There must be safeguards on both sides of Germany.

WASHINGTON, March 11. Some thirteen thousand disabled men were discharged from the army before the federal board for vocational education was permitted to establish contact with such men in army hospitals in order to deal with their cases. The new board now desires to get in touch with these men so as to acquaint them with the benefits which congress has provided for them. The board, in a statement today, asked persons knowing of any such disabled soldiers, to send their names and addresses to it3 headquarters in Washington.

Your first impression of this present-day Maxwell as it passes you on the street is one of decided beauty. Your first ride in it, whether at the wheel or in the tonneau, tells you of its rare charm. But after six months you find a -new admiration for the Maxwell. You find it shuns the repair shop, that it runs and runs and runs and never stops running. Then after a year is uast you develop an enthusiasm for it that dictionary word3 don't seem to fully describe. And then after you have had it for more than the average life of a motor car and you find it far better than even the Maxwell salesman said it was you search for the reason. This is what you find: For 5 years Maxwell cars have been built on the single chassis plan. To date 300,000 have been turned out on this plan. Each car better than the other. Each one better looking than the other. There have been more than 1000 refinements in the Maxwell, but never once have the Maxwell executives swerved from the original program. You conclude that reliability was designed "into" the car and built "into" it, and that a policy of 300,000-all-alike is the soundest kincl of reason for writing your check for a present-day Maxwell.
