Saturday, Globe: With the comm :
of regularly employed secretary for
lis entire time, George c.. True re-
tires as acting secretary of the Os'
kaloosa Commercial club. For about
four years, in conjunction with his
law business, he has been serving
The board and the community in thai
capacity. In playing this dual role
so satisfactorily Mr.. True has en-
trenched himself snugly in the esti'
nation of his friends as a man OF
fixed capabilities, and capacity fol
accomplishing. Versatility is among
his good fortunes. His clerical work
is always complete and accurate. His
correspondence reflects credit upon
the organization he has so long rep
resented. The late Mr.. George w
Sewers, by the way, said that from
their long Office association he had
learned to know that Mr.. True could
more fittingly answer his correspond
ence than could he himself. In pub
lie address Mr. True is equal to the
emergency. He can smooth EN-
over" or prod 'em up as the need
may demand SO all in all the sac
rifice the retiring secretary has made
in sharing time from his own bust
ness in the interest of public welfare
is and will be greatly appreciated
No one is gladder than he that the
commercial club has finally reached
the place where full time man car
be employed.
