ADVERTISING RATES
COMMERCIAL CLUB NEEDED

The passing of the flu in the
Weston neighborhood-- an happy
consummation now almost in sight
should be celebrated we think BY
the resurrection Of the Weston Com
mercial Club.
We do not mean by this that the
club is what is slangily known as a
dead one" Instead, it has main.
tanned nominal existence. But
because. Of the flu and the good old
summer time and other reasons 1t
hasn't been meeting now for many
moons.
Perhaps we would better say re.
vival. Yes, that is it. Let the
commercial club be revived.
The club meant much to Weston
and could mean more. Its debates,
while frank, were free from acri.
mony, and its meetings were full Of
interest. 1t provided the sole
means. Of maintaining the towns
spirit of civic pride. 1t was a place
where public sentiment could
be crystallized for or against any
given proposition by threshing
out its merits. In this manner no
project intended for community bet
terment would be taken up un.
less it passed the gauntlet Of criti-
cism. Half.baked propositions with
little but the enthusiasm Of their
promoters to recommend them,
were thus killed off before com.
munity effort could be frittered
away. Propositions. Of real merit
were endorsed and put through,
with the entire strength Of the club
behind them, thus promoting har.
monious and centralized endeavor.
A town Of Weston'g population
and pretensions should BY all means
have a commercial club. Without
one II is almost like congregation
without preacher, an army with.
1ut a general staff. Whatever Is
lone for public veal Is done at
ross purposes, with parties the
people pushing andothers blocking
he wheels.
To be sure, II often happens that
