Committees on Entertainment. Member ship and Publicity and Promotion Organize and Plan Campaign
 for Cityss Development.

Committees of the Commercial Club are well organized for the campaign of furthering the development of Mont gomery and have already made plans and are beginning to carly them into effect. The results are expected to be the best that the Club has ever accom- piished, and the members of the asso- citation which is striving to make Mont gomery bigger and better than ever are much encouraged over the out look.
 Three committees recently brought together for reorganization are notable. They are the Committee on Entertain ment, Publicity and Promotion and Memb ership. Their chairmen and members are already working hard.
 The Committee on Entertainment has organized, and without waiting to es- tablish a program for the entire year. decided on a smoker with refreshments and entertainment for the monthly meeting of March IT. The Board has approved the idea. The smoker will have as a feature a "roll call" in which every members name will be pronounced. and, if unresponded to, noted significantly.
 The Entertainment Committee is made up of an active group that may
 be depended on for a good time. Its members are B. F. Evans, chairman; Meyer S. Gerson, associate chairman; w. N. Cox, L. l.. Gilbert, J. E. Hickey,
 Duncan May, A. C. Sexton, Leon Well, P R. Whiting; ex offlcio member of the Board, F. c. Stevenson.
 The Committee on Publicity and Pro- motion, after organizing, carefully re- viewed the work accomplished by the 1910 fund. It is convinced that the fund has returned to the city direct benefits many times multiplied over the original investment of $1O,00O. The indirect benefit that is shown in an awakened civic spirit and the general feeling throughout the city of home confidence and faith cannot well be measured; but. is regarded as the most valuable return of all.
 The committee. therefore, favored . new advertising campaign and empow- cred the Secretary to outline it very fully, with details of cost, etc. This outline will be considered carefully, and, if approved, will be passed up to the Board of Directors with strong recommendation.
 The Committee favored also an &C., tive campaign for conventions, outside of State organizations, and instructed the Secretary to prepare full informa- tion as to the city's capacity. The members of the Committee are E. J. Meyer, chairman; W. A. Davis. asso- ciate chairman; A. Blair. ". P. Chiffon. C. "A. berry, J. L. Rhodes. H. Ruth; ex ofdcio member of the board. George ", Jones.
