TOWNS OF COUNTY
TO GET TOGETHER
WILL ORGANIZE COMMERCIAL
CLU-FIRST MEETING
AT YELM.

First steps toward the organiza-
ton of Thurston County Chamber
of Commerce in which all the towns
of the county outside Olympia are to
be united, were taken at meeting
of business men of Olympia and Yelm
Wednesday evening.
Interest in the meeting and it's OBJ
jects was so great that in spite of the
snow and cold weather about 35
people sat around the dinner table in
the Yelm hotel, enjoyed the rafting
good chicken dinner provided, and
then participated in the later discus
sion. Fourteen business men and
women of Olympia attended the
gathering, the others being Yelm
residents.
AS result of the meeting, deci-
sion was made to hold subsequent
gatherings at Rainier, Tenino, Roch-
ester. Gate and Little Rock, and a
committee consisting of J. p Martin,
Frank Royse and B. r. Conine was
named to represent Yelm in all mat
ters preliminary to the completion Of
the county organization.
The plan at present is to have a
chairman appointed at each of these
community meetings to represent his
town and, after all of them have been
visited, the permanent organization
is to be effected at a general meeting
Mr.. Martin will serve in that capacity
for Yelm and Harry L. Parr, who was
instrumental in arranging this gath
ering was elected chairman for
Olympia.
The imperative necessity for a bet
ter road from Yelm to Olympia and
the discouragements that had been
met by Yelm people in their efforts
to obtain it, formed the burden Of
the discussion at this meeting. State
ments were made by various Yelm
speakers that the bulk of the busi-
ness of their district, which is rap
idly growing, is now going to Tacoma
because of the bad condition of the
Olympia road. They joined in the
assertion that the most of that trade
would come to Olympia if the people
of their community could get 10
Olympia.
]. L. Mosman acted as toastmaster
and Harry l.. Parr outlined the situ-
alton for Olympia. stating that in the
formation of countrywide CONNER
cial club Olympians would observe
an unwritten law that no resident Of
this city would serve as an officer.
The city, he explained, desired to CO.
operate fully with the organization
but did not want to give any impress
sion that it desired to "hog it all"
Talks emphasizing Yelm's need for
a good road and favoring the sugges-
tion for the proposed organization,

AS to the schedule: each team is
to play eight games. Olympia has
been lucky in obtaining five games
for the local floor, whereas the other
teams have only four of their games

games won will be awarded silver
cup. and to the one that wins it three

tunity for the local indoor sports fans

Every Christian life needs a
plan-steady, we'll kept, good all
the year around-to give direc-
ton to all Christian efforts.
Without a plan, we become fit
full, Jealous at one time, cold at
another. Satan cannot conquer
a Christian life that has a plan
to live by. Our circumstances in
life are very different, and by
necessity the plans will be modi-
fed thereby; still each one
should realize the value of sys-
tenn. and arrange a method
which accords with our vocation.

each Sunday you will be there
more regularly than if you leave
it to be decided from time to

out. If we could read the records

our good resolutions. simply be-
cause our Christian life was a
kind of hap-hazard. go-as-you-

well kept plan.

Come and study the Bible with

aim is to not TO get any of the
