CONSOLIDATION MAY Be
1 TURNED DOWN BY CLUB
Lively Fight Is Expected at Special
b Meeting Called by Westmorc-
land Club June 21.
WOULD RETAIN OLD IDENTlTr
Members OF Commonwealth Club to
Vote on Recommendation of
Joint COMMITTEES for ConSoli,a-
ton on Night OF June -.

Suggested consolidation of the
Westmorcland and the Common
wealth Clubs. ms recommended by a
joint committee, has aroused decided
opposition among many OF the older
members of the former Organization.
who contend that the club should re-
tain its identity. its present location
and keep unirnpaired its long and
honorcd prestige
ii is being predicted by those OPP
posed TO the merger that the MEM
bership Will refuse 10 ratify the re-
communication in special meeting
AT the annual meeting OF the club in
February report of a special com
mittce which had been appointed in
November reported on plans for the
recommended that the club remain at
It's present site. This report and re-
concentration were accepted by the
members.
Commonwealth Club Acts.
In the meantime the board OF gov
ernors of the Commonwealth Club
also had taken up the matter of en-
larEing its facilities and a sueGes-
ton had come to the Wcstmorelaud
Club \that before the clubs entered
into expensive enlargement plans
that the question of consolidation be
considered.
\ special joint committee was ;hcn
appointed TO make an Investigation.
and this committee. as told in The
Times Dispatch. has recommended
consolidation.
The members of the Westmoreland
Club Will take action on this recon-
menda;ion Jnnc y, and the members
of the Commonwealth Club will hold
their meeting TO consider the subject
on June %.
While IL is said that a ma jority OF
the Commonwealth membership will
favor the consolidation il is believed
a large proportion of the member
ship of the Wcstmorcland will
oppose the plan.
Secretary Il. \. Lancaster. OF the
Westmoreland Club. said last night
tina; the repsrt and rccommc ndation
OF the committee is in no sense bind
ing. and that members will be free
Gated. however. that Judgment should
be reserved until after all the facts
carried in the report are clearly UNI
dcrstood.
Say Question Is settled.
The meeting OF the Wcstmorcland
on June q will be one OF the most
interesting ever held by that or
Eanization. and many members viii
contend that the question OF remain
ing at the present site was definitely
decided by the action taken at the
last annual meeting and that in view
of the sound financial condition OF
the club. the organization should pro-
coed with it's individual program OF
enlargement.
one of the strongest arguments for
the present site is that il is central,
property will pay for large improve
ments and that The club will lose
much OF its prestige consolidated with
another organization.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

You are often told to beware Of e
cold," but why? We will tell you.
Every cold weakens the lungs. lowers
the vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who
contract pneumonia first take cold.
The longer cold hangs on. the great
err the danger, especially from the germ
disease, as cold prepares the system
for the reception and development OF
the germs of consumption, diphtheria,
scarlet fever and whooping cough.
The quicker you get rid of your cold,
the less danger of contracting one OF
these diseases, Chamberhn's Cough
Remedy has a great reputation as 9
cure for colds and can be depended up
on. 1t is pleasant to take.

Tick War to Begin Early.

eral officers in charge of the
drive against cattle ticks hope to
clean up more than ninety parish
es and counties this year. March
is said to find the preparations
we'll under way for the 1920 cam
paign, and so we can begin to
look for the usual kick and con-
troversy on this subject to de-
velop pretty soon.
AS a matter of fact, however,
it is poor policy to attempt tc
fight this government provision,
which is being enforced all over
the country. We hope to see the
better judgment of our people
prevail in this matter, and thai
there may not be any genera
opposition as has prevailed fol
the past two seasons.
