CHARGE MIS-
REPRESENTATION
Merchants Committee of Chamber of
Commerce Takes Exceptions to
Statement Made At Organization
of Army and Navy Club.
Communication

The attention of the Merchants
committee was called to an article
in the Putnam Patriot of February
2Sth, to a statement made bv Michael
Meehan before the Army and Navy
Club, to the eff that the committee
was advising merchants against adj
vertising in the proposed book, Put
MANS Part in the War.
A special meeting of the commit,
tee was held Monday afternoon in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
to take action in regard to this mis-
representation.
With the press reports in hand OF
the remarks made by the compiler
the committee saw no reason to re-
commend to the Chamber any tenn
porary suspension of the vote of No
vember is, 1915, and this conviction
was embodied in a unanimous vote.
The Merchants Committee wishes
it thoroughly understood tina. Mr.
Meehan was fully aware, at the time
he made the above statement, of the
stand taken by the committee, and
that the committee was acting accord
ing to the expressed wishes of the
merchants of Putnam. Furthermore
the committee has not acted unadvis-
edly in the matter. but has consulted
with many manufacturers and bust
ness men, and the very definite inn
preston gained is, that an authorita-
tive book, if feasible at this time
would not fail of patronage, and
would not possess any added value
because of advertising.
The rule of conduct fixed by vote
of 1915 is as follows: "Voted: That
members of the Putnam Chamber OF
Commerce should not advertise in
programs, score cards and the like
nor give articles to be used as priz.
es." This ruling was adopted by the
Chamber after extreme elaboration
and has worked out so very we'll that
the committee does not see its way
clear to minimize in any degree the
Importance of the ruling.

lowed By Dancing

The first big event for the members
of graduating class at the high
school is the prom. given when they
are juniors to the senior class, and
this event for the class of 1920, Put

evening, and was an artistic and so
cial success. Pretty decorations made

effect WIS enhanced by the beautiful
gowns Of the ladies'. The decorations
are worthy of special mention, and

gene Ellis. Mrs. Snow was becoming
ly attired in gown of yellow crepe

toned upon the stage, furnished the
music for dancing. The grand march
was led by Wilbur Lown, president of
the class, and Eleanor Murphy, vice
president The second couple in line
were Gladys Covell, secretary, and
liver Nelson treasurer. Following the
march, the quests proceeded to enjoy
the dance program of waltzes, one
steps and fox-trots, and by the ex-
pressions on the faces of those par
ticipating, an enjoyable evening was
being spent. There were generous
number of extras, and the room in
which punch was served came in for
considerable attention. All in all, II
was an enjoyable affair Many from
our of town were in attendance.
The committee of 1920 class mem
beers in charge of the event were Miss
es Elizabeth Wheelock and Alice
Adams. and Thomas Dobson. Miss
Wheelock was chairman of the or
chestra committee, Mr.. Dobson of the
punch and miscellaneous affairs, and
Miss Adams of the decorations. The
ushers were George Child and j. AL
fred Barber. Miss Helen Phillips and
Mrs. Snow saw that all were sup
piled with dance orders.

danced.
There were visiting fremen from
various towns and they were enter
tanned during intermission by Putnam

Frank Murray acted as prompter,
and there was a sprinkling of square
dances so much enjoyed by the older
guests, Many people sat in the seats
arranged for spectators and so well
entertained were they that many
stayed to the close. Usually about
