from adjoining cities and parishes
have indicated that they will not only
b. present but that they will talk upon
certain subjects.
The meeting of Tuesday night will he
presided over by Mr.. F. ID. Winchester
rs toastmaster. A gentleman with
broader experience in such offices and
one with more tact could not have been
found and the members Of the local or
ganizations under whose auspices the
affair will be given are delighted that
Mr. Winchester has consented to serve
in this capacity. Committees are now
working industriouslv on the different
phases of the meeting and it is believed
that it will be successful from every
standpoint. Members Of the Chamber
of Commerce and Of the Civic League
will be expected to attend this meeting
and the plans outlined provide for all
who attend to take an equally active
part in the program.
Terrebonne, Assumption, Iberia and
st. Mary parishes will send representa-
tives to the Tuesday night meeting. A
dinner Of substantial proportions, yet
thoroughly in keeping with the Food
Conservation regulations, will be
served. Music and speaking will make
up the program. Interest has already
become widespread in this meeting and
much good is expected to result along
the lines Of promoting closer coopera-
ii between communities aEd parishes
Of this section of Louisiana.
If you are member Of the Chamber
Of Commerce or of the Civic League
Won should attend this meeting. But
if you wish to attend you should also
advise Secretary Palmer by letter, tel
-ephone or in person without the least
delay. All acceptances are expected to
be in his hands not later than Q clock
Saturday night Those who do not no
