CLUB PLANS A NEW ACTIVITY Will Expand Present
 Scope: NEW MAN A LIVE WIRE Commercial Organization Will
 Branch Out. President Ban Says That Effort wni Be Made To Increase the Mem-
 ber.hip Of The Organ
 fxation.

Reinforced by the advent of E.. H. Hyman, the new secretary. the com mercial Club is preparing to expand the scope of its work and Montgomery will be benefted. Until now the cluD has been more or less hampered os lack of a system demanded by usefui work on broad lines. With plans al ready formed. there will be little ar ficulty in carrying them out.
 In discussing the work contem- plated, P,a sident Ball said last night:
 ''The election of E. H. Hyman as secretary of the Commercial Club will enable the club 10 carry into erect some of the plans which we're consId- cred last spring.
 At that time . special committee investigated and reported favorabiy upon a plan to supplement the indi- vidual membership dues by sustain ing memberships to be taken by bus mess firms and corporations who should pay therefor according to the amount of their capital invested ana as might be agreed upon between uhe finance committee of the club and the business concerns.
 "These funds were not to be used for the running expenses of the club. which would be easily met from the
 
 specific work of securing new indus tries, conventions. advertising on def- mite lines and other publicity and pro- motion work.
 ''The plan was not put into effect because of the resignation of My Dave and the coming on of the sum- mer before another secretary could be secured and the further necessity of again changing secretaries which became apparent 10 the board some time before the last resignation was requested.
 The sentiment has also been grow ing in favor of changing the name or the club to Chamber of Commerce. and this change was suggested by President Ball to Mir. Hyman, the new secretary, about two weeks ago. lie is favorable to the plan
 The Club IS stronger today than 1t has ever/ been. Its membership IS nearly 400. It's rooms are well locar- ed. arranged and equipped for con- ducting the business Of the club, ana the coming of MT. Hyman gives prom ise that the club will meet all of the needs of Montgomery during the eom- Ing fall and winter.''
