as its share for the season. The
club by practically unanimous
rising vote granted the money
asked for by Mr.. Enders.
No Cannery This Year
V. o. n. Smith, chairman of
the cannery committee, stated that
the eannery meets with universal
favor with the people here and in
the country, and the people want
IL, but he was forced to admit that
no cannery would be in operation
here this season owing to the
shortness of the crop. He sail
next year the people could get 4
plant here if the matter was taken
up early enough and large
enough crop of fruit and vegeta-
hles pledged; growing and can
ming so hand in hand, Mr. Smith
stated. One statement made by
Mr.. Smith that will be OF interest
to the people of this section was
that in securing data his commit
tee found that Ashland canned
peaches brought $1.S5 a can more
/ in California than their own
fruit, and he said he considered
this a big advertisement for Ash
land and vicinity.
To Get More Members
F. S. Engle, chairman of the
membership committee, reported
that his committee was working
on plans to secure more members,
people who had never been con-
nected with a commercial club or
civic body of this character. He
congratulated the lady members
of his committee for the good
work they had been doing and
urged them to continue their ef-
forts in the future.
Boosted Open Forum
At the conclusion of reports OF
chairmen of committees, c. A. Ed
wards, as chairman of the forum
committee, congratulated the
chairmen of the various commit
tees for the good work they have
been doing. He said he was earn
estly in favor of the forum meet
ings, whether they were in the
form of a MONDAY luncheon, an
evening meeting, or in some other
form, and he hoped the forum
would soon be instituted by the
club as a permanent part of the
work OF the organization. Mr..
Edwards suggested that Ash
land, the Beautiful" be adopted
as a slogan to be used in our lit
erature, etc. In paying tribute
to the beauty of Ashland Mr.. Ed
wards said he had Travelled ex-
tensively in America and
Europe, but had never seen any
thing in all his travels as beauti-
ful as the view from Mount Ash
land; that it was the most beau
tiful view in the world. In con
Guiding his remarks Mr.. Edwards
said we should commercialize our
natural resources, and urged every
citizen to become interested in his
home town and the people here
and let the outside world know as
lar as possible what great ad-
vantages we have.
Father Conaty said he knew
what could be accomplished by
unity of action and told Of what
had been done in other places
where he had been located. He
said he was very much pleased
to see the club getting off on the
right foot in the matter Of insti-
tuting the open forum meetings.
He also urged the club and citi-
Zens of Ashland to make the ut
most of tliair natural resources,
ana he said he was much pleased
tC see the interest the ladies of
the city are taking in club work
and assisting in developing the
city's advantages.
Change Name OF City
During the course of his re-
remarks at the meetingf Mr.. Vim
ing suggested that the name OF
the city be changed to Ashland =
Spa as it would be great adver-
tising feature for the city and be .
tho means of bringing more peo- ,
pic here than the name of Ashland
or Ashland Springs. b. r. Greer
said that five or six years ago |
an effort was made to change the {
name to Ashland Springs, but the [
postoffice department objected
and the matter was not pushed. {
He suggested that the correspond
ence in this matter be looked up I
il change of name was contem- !
plated, so there would be some ,
data to work on. Mr.. Greer said [
he was heartily in favor of Ash {
land Spa for change in name.
Mr.. Vining said he had received
a letter recently from Mr.. Win s
burn, who recently was in Ash {
land and bought the Hotel Aus q
tin and made other investments,
in which he expressed his thanks ,
to the Commercial Club for the c
