AUTOMOBILE EXHIBIT
PLANNED BY. .WHELAN

At a dinner held at noon today At
the Y M. c. "A. by officers of the
Wayne County Old Trails Road asso.
citation a project for holding an auto
mobile, show in this city in the near
future was launched.
The plan was proposed by Omer G.
Whelan and was unanimously adopted
by the other officers. A committee on
preliminary arrangements was appoint.
ed, and Is composed of Albert Cham
ness, o. G.. Whelan and w. N. Bailey.
This committee will confer with local
civic organizations at once for the pur-
pose of interesting them in the pro-
motion of the show.
1t was suggested by Mr.. Whelan that
the show could be held on North Tenth
street, under canvas. and he expressed
the opinion that the various Richmond
automobile manufacturing concerns
and local automobile dealers could be
depended upon to make the event a
complete success.
Another meeting of the officers Of
the Old Trails association will be held
in the near future for the purpose of
completing plans for the holding of
the show.
The small deficit incurred by the
Fourth Of July celebration held this
year under the auspices of the associa-
ton was wiped out by the officers at
the meeting today.
