RAISE $134 FOR POOR

Flower day, especially considering
that it fell on Saturday. which was far
from fine day, was a great success.
$134ao being raised for the United
Charities association of East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor Indiana Harbor
is credited with raising more of that
sum than did East Chicago. a number
of East Chicago girls who had promised
their services in the cause failing to
show up, and several of the autos ex-
pected not being on hand to take the
workers to the points from which they
had planned to operate.
Mrs. Charles Egbert was in charge in
Indiana Harbor and Mrs. ]. S. Dewey in
East Chicago. Mrs. Egbert had assist
ing her: Misses Julia Jernberg Mary
ingram, Bertha Hob. Ethel Glegg. Pearl
Walsh, Olga Ordner, Mary Barr. May
Parker. Helen Calvin. May Mills, Fanny
Marcovich and Lyon. The East Chi
cago girls under Mrs. Dewey were:
Misses Edith Evans Laura weidert,
Helen Davis, Celia Cohen, F'lossie Pic
kard. May Artiby. Evelyn Kinney, Eth
ell Silverman. Bernice Dewey and Tib-
bett. The territory was divided by
Kennedy avenue, Indiana Harbor hav-
ing all on the Harbor side of that thor
oughfare. together with Gary, while
East Chicago had the remainder of the
Twin cities and Hammond.
The girls worked from 1890 until
$50 o'clock and it is estimated that had
it not been for the rain they would have
raised almost twice as large a sum as
they did.
Flower day is new to this part of the
country and takes the place of tag day,
. those contributing to the cause being
given flower instead of having tag
tied in their button hole

UNIVERSITY CLUB REFUSES
THE AMAlGAMAT|ON IDEA

The meeting of the University club
members last Saturday evening to de-
termine whether or not they wanted to
consider plan to amalgamate with
the Hammond Chamber of Commences
resulted in the overwhelming defeat OF
the project.
Probably never in the history of the
club has there been manifested such
splendid spirit as was shown by the
members at the meeting. The loyalty
to the organization they have built up
was unquestioned and the meeting re-
suited IN a determination to make 1t a
bigger and better organization.
Treasurer William j. Hastings issued
a report which was most satisfactory to
those who have been so vitality interest
ed in the success of the club. 1t showed
that the Indebtedness of the club is
really very small and that the members
could wipe it all out entirely were they
disposed To submit to small assess
ment
Raise Subscription.
In fact the life members of the club
subscribed $3.50 which will take care of
one-half of the clubs Indebtedness after
the members have paid their dues to
date. 1t is believed that this amount
will be doubled by subscriptions from
the. regular members of the club.
An idea of the spirit that was shown
may be appreciated from the fact that
w. G. Paxton offered to donate 800 to
the club IL that amount was needed.
Other members offered to make large
subscriptions to wipe out the small re-
mainiqg debt of the club.
The false impression that there was a
crisis in the financial affairs of the club
became general when 1t became noised
about that the club was even consid-
ering the matter of matchmaking with
the Chamber of Commerce. That is why
the subscriptions were offered.
And when the members got to the
meeting and heard the report of the
treasurer all doubts as to the future OF
the club were dispelled and the PROPOSE

Make Warm Speeches.
A number of impassioned speeches
were made by the members OF the club
on the question and it was easy to be
seen that the membership resented even
the suggestion of amalgamation with or
selling out to another organization.
Attorney John f. Sawyer made one
of the best speeches of the evening He
stated that amalgamation would result
in the destruction of the identity of the
University club that it would make the
members OF that club guests in their
own home and that he, for one. was OPP
posed to it.
Attorney Fred Crumpacker was
equally strong in his opposition to the
proposition. Crumpacker said that
there was no condition to Justify. such
an action. He said that the whole bene-
fit would accrue to the Chamber of
Commerce Roscoe <. Woods pointed to
the different purposes and aims of the
| two organizations and said he believed
that amalgamation was not feasible nor
desirable

! number of others spoke on the PROPOSE
! ton. The vote against amalgamation
was unanimous. The club voted. how

merce the courtesy of the club rooms
| during the period OF organization.
| 1t is believed that the meeting will
result in an effort to wipe out the debt
| of the club and put it on a basis that
will make 1t debt free and will give its
members even greater advantages than
| they have been enjoying in the past.
The Chamber of Commerce made its
