At the meeting of the finance conn
mittee of the Chickasha Chamber of
Commerce held yesterday evening in
the organization's iffces, fifth floor
of the First National bank building.
it was decided ito put en- sort of a
"pay-up' campaign for the support
of the chamber.
The plan as outlined is to check
over the list of members who have
pledged given amounts TO the sup
port of the chamber and to determine
just which ones have been paying
up those pledges and who have been
falling down Those who have been
keeping their monthly or semian-
nual dues paid up, will be asked to
continue fer the remainder Of the
year Those who are in arrears on
their pledges will be asked to pay
up and those who have not paid
anything will be requested TO take a
seat in the band wagon and string
along with the rest Of the bunch
1T lis figured that by pursuing this
method, sufficient funds win be avail
able to keep the organization run
ming on high for the remainder of the
year Those who are now pledged
to pay certain amounts into the treas
ury of the organization, took on the
obligation through assessments made
by Chamber of Commerce heads, it
is pointed out, and the prospective
members, who are not now support
ing the club, but who are expected
to come in, will be requested to join
on the same basis, it was pointed out.
The sense of the meeting was that
city the size of Chickasha trying
to run without commercial organ
ization to boost things along, is, fig
uratively. like an automobile with
out gas. The engine and all other
necessary parts are there, but it can't
get anywhere with gas to put the
pep into it.
C. of c. officials, through the ef-
forts, first of the finance committee
plan to put the gasoline to 'er" and
guided by the executive branch of
The organization, steer Chickasha
ahead and into the front rank of the
Oklahoma cities

the meeting reported to President

In accordance with an act of the
legislature. w w Clarke. treasurer
is preparing an itemized statement
of the receipts and disbursements
of the organization for the first half
of the fiscal year. The act provides
that this data be filed with the city
clerk, in addition to which. in this
case it will be published.
No meeting of the club has been
announced by the president. Until
such time as the finance committee,

are running smoothly. there will
probably be no session of the or
ganization, for the reason that at
the present time there is nothing to
report
