preciated the efforts being made by
the Chamber Of Commerce to secure
better marketing conditions for them,
and those that were taking advantage
Of County Agent Kinks services at the
Chamber Of Commerce appreciated the
opportunity to secure such valuable
advice as he has been rendering. Mr..

the auto bus line was to the farmer
and his wife, giving them the oppor-
tunity to phone in at central station
and have merchandise brought out on
the afternoon truck.
Vice President George Dodson re-
ferred to the added use many of the
farmers were making of the Chamber
of Commerce building for meetings
and stated that in his conversation

time each of the ten officers and direc-
tors of the organization would Cap.
tain team of workers in the different
sections of the county. The members
will be given the opportunity to re-

about the middle Of July would be
most desirable-The Board of Direc-
tors all felt that Beechwood Park was
the best adapted place in the county
to hold such meeting and extended
their appreciation to the President for
his kind offer.
