will be urged 10 carefully select the
names of nine men to serve as direc-
tors.
1t is especially urged that progress
sive men, who will have plenty of
time to give TO the activities of the
organization, be elected. The fact
that there will be only nine members
to the directorate whereas in the past
there we're p, it is thought, Will SIM

ncr
closely associated with the organiza-
work to promote the campaign of any
Of those who might make capable di-
rectors, and every effort is being made
to give every member an equal chance
at places in the directorate.
Each day suggestions are received
by the commerce organization as to
the rrethods which must be pursued in
order that the Chamber may compete
successfully with the similar organ
izations of other cities. These sug-
gestiOns are in response to the ques-
ton. What as a citizen, do you be-
lieve that a Chamber of Commerce
should first undertake for the good of
the city?"
The suggestions indicate the extent
to which the public at large is doing
constructive thinking relative to the
tasks before the Chamber of Com
merce.
Here Are Some suggestions.
Some of the additional activities
suggested are as follows:
Through noon luncheOns and din
ners, eminent men should be invited
to South Bend and opportunities al
forded for hearing them.
I'm a practical movement towards
a better physical South Bend, the
Chamber Of Commerce should seek in
every way to make this a city sensible
in harmony with the work already
done by the city government.
For the purpose of awakening in
dividual household pride and arousing
widespread interest in making all
parts of South Bend beautiful and
clean. the Chamber Of Commerce
should from time TO time conduct
lawn contests, garden competitions
and cleanup campaigns.
public Fairgrounds are as neces-
sary to the city as are lungs to the
human body. The Chamber of Com
gaerce should endeavOr to have them
established.
Efforts should be made to secure
the immediate establishment of a
series of comfort stations throughout
the city likewise public baths.
