This was the policy that was outlined
at the first meeting Of the year last

place within the club, everyone made
suggestions as to what would be a
good thing to do and Samuel n. Car
ter was placed in the saddle as preSi-

President Carter announced the APP
pOintment of 10 standing committees
81 the club and enough hints We're
thrown At them to keep every COM
mittecman busy for the rest of the
year.
A secretary was not elected. Char
les l.. Harrison, member of Il special
committee receiving applications for
the Job, declared that his committee
has not been approached by anyone
having sufficient class" to be recon-
mcnded.
As Il consequence the committee
was vas given more time in which TO
canvass for q new secretary and
meantime the other officers and COM
mittccmcn will be expected to look
after The clubs interests
The club did not consider the tinanc-
ing of a giant steel corporation
either, as it was not mentioned by
anyone.
In his address after he had been
installed as president, Mr.. Carter
sounded the keynote as to what will
be the clubs policy. More attention
will be given to aid for the little in
dustrics in the Cape.
Assistance that may I'VE been
given to large institutions heretofore
may be diverted into the channel
where it will have Il more widespread
effect Business men who encounter
troubles will be asked to take their
problems to the officials of the Com
mcrcial Club, who hope to direct
hem to the proper experts who may
show them the profitable solution.
An cndcavOr for all business men in
the Cape to become better acquainted
With everything that the city has in
the way of industries will be made in
ne spring in the shape Of a city-widc
iunkct. which may also be extended to
The country, where view of modern
agriculture as conducted about the
Cape, may be obtained.
Plans will be perfected for the more
complete advertisement of the Cape
