The annual report of Tom Egan, secretary of the Warren District Com mercial Club, was presented at the meeting Wednesday night in part, as follows:
 Gentlemen:
 As secretary of the Warren District Commercial Club, it is a privilege l esteem highly to be charged with the duty of presenting tonight my annual report to this club.
 The Commercial Club, or rather. it's membership, is the accredited spokesman Of all the people, and 1t is immediately recognized as standins for the entire community; so repre- sentative that no one. whether strap- ger or citizen, can doubt for an in- stant that it is the spokesman with the voice of the entire municipality. Its organization is so broad that it re gards nothing too great for its ac- complishment, nothing too small for it's attention, winning and holding confidence by the fruits of it's efforts. In it's membership is represented ey- cry industrial and civic organization of the city, for each and every one has a vital interest in it's true welfare. Thus welded together, it's representa- tive mt,nberahip speaks for wide area of activities, and is a potent fac tor eXerting it's influence to an al most illimitable degree, q body whose principles and policies commaid in stant attention and cooperation of even the Chamber of Commerce Of the UnitedSStates, which is represen- tative of the commercial welfare or the whcN! country.
 I then. convey to you coneraula- tions for the patriotism you have dis played and for the loyalty you have shown 10 the club during the past year The greatness of any orgaIfza- ton is maintained through self-sacri- flee by the men who carry the thought and belief in it that the stan dard of 2 commu5ny is gauged by the activity of the citizens and the things they do to make it {. better city in which to live and do business, through the self-sacrifice of those who want to be responsible for the continued success of a representative business organization.
 So constant and so diverse have been the Clubs activities through it's various committees, that it is impoS- sible in the compass of this report 10 cover more than the most important of them, in view of the fact that this report must cover two years, as the Club was without a secretary the be ginning of this year. and no annual report was rendered.
 Wh-t the Club Has Done
 Let me refresh your memory brief ". I will first call your attention to the Commercial Clubs machine put ting over the third, fourth and fifth Liberty Loans. The Commercial Clut assisted when the different drafts oi this county were mobilized in the Warren lsistrict, and entertained the boys entirely at its own expense.
 The Commercial Club assisted iT the Red Cross campaigns. and was the means of putting over all other drives.
 The Secretary of your organization was one of the authorities on income tax in this community, and assisted the business men and citizens by fiji ing out and computing income tax or over 2500 returns in She last two years, saving by his knowledge of eX emptions thousands of dollars for tho people of the Warren District.
 I might call your attention to N' fact that the Warren District CotI mercial Club was the clearing house for all war activities It's office wa: used entirely as the headquarters tO all campaigns, and every war activit. that was carried to a successful con clusion in the Warren District emar
