A meeting of the general member
ship of the Chamber of Commerce was
! held on Tuesday evening for the pur-
pose Of discussing a War Chest Asso-
citation for Mason county, such as is
being operated in other cities.
Mr.. w. W. Ball, Jr., was chairman
of the meeting and he explained the
plan as 1t is being operated by the
other cities. Mr.. w. d. Cochran stated
that he was of the opinion that such
plan would meet the numerous calls
for contribution of government agen-
cies in a more satisfactory manner
Mr.. II. H. Barley was, very enthu-
siastic over the plan, having heard it
outlined by Mr.. Charles S. Anderson,
of Colubbus, Ohio, at the weekly
luncheon of the Advertisers Club at
Cincinnati last week Mr.. Barley
felt that it would prove satisfactory
to the merchants of the city as only
one canvass and contribution would
be necessary and would give the mer-
chants more time to devote to their
affairs.
Hon. ]. N. Kehoe said that he had
studied the plan very thoroughly and
was Of the opinion that we need some
such plan in Maysville He felt that
while it was nice to know that we are
exceeding our quota In each canvass,
we were doing ourselves an injustice
in assuming the burden of some coun-
ties that failed to do their part. He
believes that we should and will do
our part in every campaign and with
the War Chest Association plan in OPP
GRAFTON we can more quickly and sat
isfactorily comply with any call for
contribution for the aid of any No
organized governmental war agency.
Mr. Kehoe suggested that a commit
tee be appointed from this meeting
whose duty it shall be to arrange for
another meeting at which time repre-
sentation from every precinct in the
county would be present and the final
arrangements for adopting the plan
and campaign drive would be made;
the War Chest Association to be a
corporation without capital stock or
profit for the purpose of raising and
all war contributions to
be made by the people of Mason coun-
ty. This corporation is to be organ
lied under state laws, with officers |
and ricetors from every precinct in
the county, to the end that Mason
county may contribute its full and
fair quota to each call made upon it !
