| Up to the first of April the meet
: ings will he open to all citizens, but
after that time the organization will
hold its business meetings in the
presence of members only. You will
want to attend every meeting, so
get right with yourself and the Club
and shell out that $1.5O for a men,
bership card. AS one man remarked,
THAT amount will not hurt anybody
and it may help to, do us all Il lot of
good
The Club is rapidly getting on a
working basis. The committees
thus far appointed have accomplished
results very satisfactory to the or
ganization and erything points to
a successful campaign OF promotion
and publicity. There has been no
desire on the part of any of the men,
bers to go out and do some great
, big thing, but on the contrary to
, look after the many small things
which interest the community at
large. That is the object OF every
: commercial body and in no other
, way can club work be successful.
This is a basis on which every citizen
of Heppner and contiguous territory
. can come in on and the result ofsuch
0 cooperative effort will be of inesti-
mable value. This Club will need
money, of course, but the need Of
, personal cooperation is far greater.
II Thoughtful preparation will make
t the Clubs finances go much farther
o and with a good big working organ
ization the demand on each member
will be moderate.
In speaking of the need of a com
q mercial club, President Smead said:
l. Il make this statement without fear
J. of contradiction. There is not a
=. town today. in Oregon or any other
state, which is going ahead in any
70 respect but has a good live CONNER
cial club. On the other hand, there
is not a dead town in any of the ter
ritory mentioned which has any kind
OF a commercial organization. Isn't
that the truth? We have samples o.
/ both here in Oregon, but it's cincl
we don't want Heppner classified
with the latter.
?. How shall we have a live CONNER
cial organization? Bye everybody
joining the club and then sitting bacl
and leave the work to a few public
Sc spirited citizens? We think not. FOl
< every membership card we mus
:, have a good, live booster for Hepp
ner and Morrow county. In no oOthe
nv way can real effective work he ac
complished. Certainly the heavie
work must fall upon those havin;
the management Of the Club. but |
l. it not possible for you, Mr. Citizen
to give two evenings of the mont
to the welfare and upbuilding OF til
community in which you live? Hav
j., not you some ideas on the subject c
~ community betterment you thin
IL worth while to discuss with you
OF fellow man? You surely have. |
ne will not cost you a cent to expires
r. your ideas. Attend the meetings
say what you have to say, hear tn
other fellow views, and then line Vi
with the Club for a bigger and bette
Heppner.
There is no room in Heaven for tn
u knOcker. His soul is too small t
I, generate light and must be east int
st the dark. He is a failure here Oh
~ earth and hOwls at the success O
Others. He usually knows NOR
" about the other fellows busines
than his own, probably from tn
reason that he has very little busi
ness Of his own.
At the last meeting Of the Club a.
- entertainment committee was AZ
~ pointed to serve one month. 1T
ay composed OF live wires and the mem
10 bers can expect some high jinx In tn
d. near future.
