COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING.

The Manchester Commercial club
met at Mrs. Masters restaurant Mon
day evening, the meeting being largely
attended. Following the dinner a mum
Der of communications addressed to
the club were taken up. One OF
these communications was from the
First Assistant Postmaster General at
Washington, desiring information as to
the kind Of service the post office de-
partment was giving the patrons and
business interests of Manchester No
criticism of the service was voiced by
the club members. There were some
suggestions made where the matter
of outgoing mail should be improved.
For instance, it was suggested that
the Clipper on the Central east and
west should carry parcel post mail,
and that mail pouch should be car
ried on the NJ. & O. carrying mail
directly between Manchester and
Oneida. AS it is now all mail to
Oneida has to be dispatched by way
of Dubuque or Waterloo, carrying it
over hundred miles, when the dis
tance from here to Oneida is only a
trifie over eight miles.
Secretary G. G. Yoran gave an in
teresting account of the convention OF
Commercial Club secretaries of Iowa,
held in Des Moines recently. Mr..
Yoran represented the Club at that
convention.
The matter of assisting returning
soldiers and sailors in finding employ
ment was discussed. and emphasis
was laid on the fact that the boys who
entered the service from Manchester
and the county should be given en-
ployment at home, and not allowed
to seek employment elsewhere. There
are at present a number of soldiers in
Manchester. who are anxious for work,
and if anyone has a position open, or
knows of anyone needing help, please
make your wants known to the secre-
tary of the Commercial club. Judge A |
