The Policy of Paonia
Business Mems Club

Some months ago n considerable
number Of the business men OF the
town got together and organized a
Business Mems Club.
The object OF the Club IL to bring
the business men into closer touch
with one another. and to further GER
tain matters of interest and import
ance in "A more definite manner. Sew
eral things were discussed, which
seemed to be of benefit to the town.
But, knowing that to attempt too
much ut "A time nothing could be
completed. II wac agreed to concen-
trate on few things. The first to
be attempted was the City Park. The
matter OF a working committee was
arranged and n canvass made for
funds to employ "A man to devote his
entire time at so much per moath.
They also secured the services OF a
landscape gardener to lay on the
grounds In an attractive manner.
And Mr.. Shallenberger promised to
donate his services as engineer when
needed. Thus IL will he seen that
Paonia is to have Park. The next
thing to receive the attention OF the
club was "A Ball team. DIR. Hamilton
was chosen as manager and at once
went to work to get team to-
yetber. Messr-. Dunbar and Miller
raised nice subscription TO secure
suits. etc. and at the present writing
we are Informed splendid team IL
organized. And we believe we can
expect the Paonia ball team to make
good.
The financing of the Band was dis
cu-sed and IL was the intention to
take this up In the near future. but
the City council have made the pro-
vision for the band as will be seen 10y
reference To their report printed I'm
this paper last week. A few of the
business men have not ms yet taken
hold of the work of the Club. and we
wish to urge them to get into the
game and help make n creditable
showing for our towns better devel-
opment.

Pursuant to call, a mass meeting
OF citizens was held at the opera
house on the night OF the 18th, to
discuss the advisability OF holding a

Ing OF school bonds to erect and equip
an addition to the high school build

payers and Others were present.
NJ. ID. Vincent was chosen chair
man and A. J. Hadley, secretary of
the meeting. Quite a lengthy discus
sion followed, participated I'm by
men both for and against the bonds.
The speakers In IN os stinstances kept
pretty close to the subject under dis
cussiun.
There seemed to be a general feel
ing that the school needed the build
ing; also that the sanitary condi-
tions OF both the high school and
the grade building lacked much Of
being what 1t should be.
Judging from the statement made
by the secretary OF the board and
Others who visited the school. 1t was
very apparent that the school Is over

sufficient. and that in many WI avs the
teaching force is handicapped. This
