WARD CONSIDERING
 SECRETARY BERTH
Former Local Man May Accept
 Chamber Of Commerce Post

With a membership of over 500 and budget sufficient to conduct the or Eanization for another year, the Chamber of Commerce is about to commence activities again. and with in a few days everything will be go- ing along swimmingly at the head quarters of the organization in the Sovereigns block. The recent cam paign conducted for the chamber has resulted in a complete success. It has been the means of injecting consider able enthusiasm into the remaining live members of the old organization and an infusion of new blood into the new Chamber of Commerce.
 Prospects never were brighter for the success of the organization. and it Is the consensus that the real good of such an institution in & city where there is need of it will be shown.
 When the team captains started to work to upbuild the chamber. they were informed that a local man would be selected as secretary. 1t has been generally admitted on all sides that the method of conducting the local organization was conducive to its downfall. In soliciting their prospects, captains and workers bumped into considerable criticism. and. in combating tho argument. it was stated that New Britain man would have the berth. The fact has been brought to the attention of local men with the result that three appli- cants have sought the place. none of whom, 1t is believed, has tho neces- sary qualifications.
 Carl Marshall, of Bristol. has made application for the berth. MT. Mar shall has had considerable eKperi- ence with Chambe of Commerce mat ters With Secretary James Cray. of the Bristol Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Marshall was at the head Of the Liberty Loan campaign, which result ed in a huge success Flatterlng re- ports concerning the business acu- men of the Applicant come from the Bell City.

 What looks like the ten-strike of the week Is the report that Joseph Ward of Providence. R. l.. native of this city and one of the best in- formed young men in Chamber of Commerce work in New England. IS considering an offer to take charge of the local organization. MT. Ward has wired that he vii, be in this city next Monday, and will meet with the ex- ecutive committee.

 There will be more people riding in closed cars this year than ever before.
 A fresh impetus to the closed car business is the announcement just made by the Overland Manross Co.,. Arch street, local Willys- Overland dealers, of the announcement of new convertible five-passenger sedan on the Model 90 Light Four chassis at $124O.
 Here is a car that. although fash ionable and modish, is practical and economical throughout-a car adapt able for social duties or for business purposes.
 Yet, withal. it is in the price class of a number of so-called popular priced" open touring cars.
 Furthermore, this new Overland Sedan has the lines and the luxurious appearance that enable it to take It's place with closed cars of much higher cost.
 The Manross- Oveland Co. have in stituted a short-time parking service at their garage. Theater patrons and others wishing to do so for 25c. -advt
