COMMUNITY CLUB
DINNER HELD LAST
MONDAY EVENING

Lengthy discussions but no definite
action was the trend of events at the
Community Ciuo dinner held at the
Brown hotel dining room last Monday
evening. As an evidence that the in
terest is growing il. these gatherings,
the largest attendance yet was pres
ent, there being about fifty business
men, farmers and citizens assembled
round the festive tables. 1t was .
sight good to see--these men gather.
ed to discuss and formulate plans for
making the community a bigger and
better place ia which to live.
In the absence &C President Frickel,
vice-president W. J. Mccoy presided
at the post-dinne- ceremonies. Mr.. Nc
Coy made report of the meeting re-
Gently held in Pueblo which resulted
in the organization of the Colorado
Development Federation, Mr.. Mccoy

ty Club at the Getting and was hon.
ored by being selected as one Of the
thirty-one directors of the Federation.
Upon motion. seconded and carried.

sent the community club at the meet

Secretary Ralph Rozell read COM
munication relative to placing an avi-
alton field l.: Julesl lurg with the neces-
sary facilities for supplying aero
planes with hargi.rs, oil, gasoline, etc.
This proposition did not receive much
attention at MonGay evenings gath
ering, the interest seeming to be lack
ing for sucl. an enterprise.
A report from the committee sp-
pointed several weeks ago to investi-
gate the matter on securing an exper-
fenced community man and secretary,
reported that nothing definitely had
been done along this line. After be-
ing brought up a. two different times
for discussion at Monday evenings
meeting the matter was tabled BY tie
chairman for further consideration,
The committee recently appointed:
to devise plans for securing finances
to erect community building were
not ready for a report.
A community building for Julesburg
is great need. That is agreed by all
the public spirited and progressive
citizens Of this community. There
are other enterprises needed, but this
IS of as much Importance as any that
could be mentioned.
The executive committee of the
.Tulesburg Community Club has this
ilatter in charge, and probably de-
finite report will be made at the next
meeting. There is no reason why a
community building that would reflect
credit to Julesburg cannot be built.
There is no argument against the need
OF such an enterprise, and the matter
Of financing should receive the liber-
al support of the citizens Of the COM
munity.
1t is hoped that the executive COM
mlttee of the Julesburg Community
Club will push this proposition along
coincident with its importance, and not
let the matter "die a-bornin" as has
innaugurated which would have re-
suited in mutual benefits to the com
munity as whole. It has been no
fault of any individual, but collective
ly, on account of being too busy with
other interests. some lines of COM
munity work placed in the hands of
various committees have been sadly
neglected.
Several weeks ago the proposition
of securing a secretary for the COM
munity club was discussed by mem
bers of the club, such man to devote
his entire time to community mat
ters, but up until this time no definite
action has been taken towards secur
ing such man. We believe there
could be no better investment by the
business men and citizens of the com
munity than that of employing an
experienced community man. We
know that there are some here who
feel this too big proposition to
handle, but the results obtained by :
