While 20 members Of the ichamber
Of commerce sat quietly listening,
president Walter S. Clayton delivered
T-a -. Ill 2.11n- ha Smen1
the board OF directors of the cham
bers of commerce on Friday niaht It
was the annual meeting OF the organi-
zatiOn and there were exactly p lmem-
bers present, just one more than az quo
rum.
Mr.. Clayton assured the board that
il would have THE hearty support OF
the old and he bespoke for the new
one a better support Of all members
than has been accorded in the past
Following the reading OF the annual
report by secretary Rufe p. March, Mr..
Clayton took the floor and said:
In turning over the affairs of the
chamber Of commerce to the new board,
I want to say that the very best
wishes of the old board go with them.
We understand the difficulties you
must meet Your motives viii be often
misconstrUed and your best ideas con-
demned- We stand ready to be the
first aid to the injured.
In leaving, we of the old board
have no regrets; neither have we any
apologies to offer. We favored ne
special interests, we Disseminated ,
against none. We tried to make it a
financial and every other kind Of a
success. If VIC failed, we have the con-
ISOLATION OF knowing it was not because
we did not use our best efforts.
In the new board you have good
material, men who represent every
branch Of business in FL Paso. With
a basis like this there is no reason
why you should not succeed
Urges support of Members.
The board of directors needs your
moral support as well as your -finan-
ciaI support If they do things 10
please you, pat them on the back and
say SO If they do not do things 10
suit you, come and speak to them. The
outsider sees many things that the di-
rectors might never think Of
I'VE may have chickering's, we may
have political differences we may have
personal enmities but these should all
be forgotten in the community's II /
