The Arvada enterprise., 1920-04-08

's President Walter P. Smith, who by
the way, has served the Club faith
fully and we'll for two terms, called
the meeting to order and after the
business had been transacted, turned
the meeting over to Josiah Maloney,
chairman Of the entertainment COM
mittee. There was something doing
every minute after Mr.. Maloney as
sumed command. He had made ar
rangements for the Beal Juvenile
Orchestra of Denver to favor the
audience with their delightful music,
and everyone was carried away by
them. The organization is composed
of ten pieces, masterfully handled by
six boys and four girls, some of them
scarcely in their teens.
Mrs. James r. holland favored the
audience with a vocal solo, "Old Vir-
ginia," which she rendered in very
sweet voice, and she was most heart
lily encored but did not respond.
Mr. j. F. White made sthe opening
talk in his usual enthusiastic man
her, after which Hon. James r. No
lind, the speaker of the evening,
tas introduced.
Ef As most all know, Mr.. holland is
5Secretary Of State, but this fact does
fhot seem to cause him to assume
to- be more than regular fellow.
He Said he never attempted to speak
YiD< public until since he has held this
h&h position of public trust. His
,firsteffort, he said was to memorize
his speech, but Mrs. Nolani bod told
him that was failure, SO since then
he did not attempt to speak without
his notes. He spoke of the great
possibilities in store for Arvada, if
It's citizens would only grasp the OPP
Qprtunity. The high rent problem in
Denver Is tfffvifik 'thVusA. ntls Of the
office men and other citizens of Dem
yer to the suburbs, and Arvada, in
his judgment, was the most inviting
of all. He said he had travelled all
over the State and he had yet to
find place that even rivaled Arvada
for its remarkable scenery and de-
Hghtful atmosphere. He said, "if
things break right, it is more than
probable that Mrs. holland and my
self will cast our lot with you." He
dwelt upon the great advantages to
be derived by an organization such
! - the Arvada Community Club. He
referred to the new road between
Arvada and Denver, by saying that
in his conversation that day with =
member Of the State Highway Com
mission he had been told that there
was grave danger of losing this i'm
provement, unless someone got busy
to prevent it, not because. the State
Highway Commission was opposing
it, or that It was any fault of the
Jefferson County Commissioners
that the Federal Commission was op
posing the pTojjjec becaus the
proposed Boulder road parallels the
Federal Boulevard road, which is the
recognized State Highway to Boulder
and It was not feasible at this time.
He urged that something be done at
once to let the officials know what
Our organization demands of them as
in fact they were only the servants
Of ~ public.
Tabs were made by Senator Wes-
lsy, staley, Judge Nc d. Livesay,
Rep. c. W. Hall, A. L. Davis, Josiah
Malloney, and Mr.. Debour, the land
sespe GARDENER, who has the beau
tifying Of our park in charge. All
were booster talks for Arvada and
inspired the listeners with great en-
thusiasm. =. '
Retiring Secretary A. ]. Recht, re-
ported q number Of new applications

In passing it may Ee said that
much praise was Sestowed upon the
outgoing officsse sef the Club, par

who had assisted in making the eve
ming one Ions to be Remembered by
the citizens Of Arvada who were in
attendance.

pleted the audience was treated to

their places.
The new board Of officers realize
that upon them has been placed
great responsibility to make not only
the club q success from social and
commercial standpoint, but to ac-
