SiDERED AT MEETING OF
CHAMBER Of COMMERCE.
DIRECTORATE

With President W. II. Fuqua pre-
siding yesterday afternoon, Il meeting
of the directors of the Amarillo
Chamber of Commerce was held at
which a number. OF mptttrs OF In
terest were discussed. One matter
occupying a goodly portion OF the
time was the coming OF the Wichita
Business Mems Association, the or
ganization to reach here at 1.li
o'clock, May Is and leave the city 8.
$50 via the Rock Island for Tucum-
carl. IL was the impression Of some
present that a dinner should be serv-
ed the visitors, but after some dis
cussion u was determined that this
should not be done ,as the visit OF tho
Wichita PARTY composed of Grprox'-
mately one hundred and fifty men,
TO Amarillo Is purely incidental.
4 committee was named 10 provide
entertainment for the Wichita visit
ors, and Il was suggested that the
prorram include a mass meeting To
he followed By a smoker, or some
such thing. The committee FAMED
will have plenary power to do that
which in its present judgment seems
better. Quite n number OF those pre-
sent talked OF the ways and means or
entertainment and the worth OF the
visitation TO Amarillo by the Kansas
business men.
Another matter, and one consider
cd by all Ms being OF vital impor-
tancc was that Of membership. j
e. storm spoke at some leneth OF the
details OF campaigning for memhers
and vas followed by a number OF
others
II. T Ware declared that Il is not
ALWAYS the man who gives Tho 500
who Is the greatest help to the OF
gani2ation lie stated that the yo' ng
and vigorous nan WHO gives 10 the
extent OF his ability ir a financial
way and then adycrtisos Amarillo
with all his power and on all o,ca-
sions is by far the better one of the
two Cooperation was the burden
of his remarks in which he rather
gave the YOUNG nan the better of tho
discussion.
President Fuqua in speaking OF
the comparative values OF the men
with means rs mentioned by Mr.
storm and the men with energy and
determinatiou as set forth by Mr..
Ware. declared that all may not he
corner stones, but that some may no
bniIded into the walls and others
serve as keystoros, each having az
iru,uau' Tart IN the 'rcat strf.-
r.ra of commercial organization.
% ID Dcwinc urged the necessity
at system and WORKING Plans or
which 10 execute tie desires Of the
oreari7atior Especial attention was
given 20 the fact that small rather
than large COMMITTEES carry out plans
intrusted 10 them, and that special
izati,n with a few determined men,
will accom- plish more than a large
nUmter of men with more sweep
ing though less thoroughly system
atiZed effort
