NEW MEMBERS FOR

At the regular Thursday business

bership of the Hammond organization
was discussed. and communications
were made by various members.
The campaign will be put on ip

bership of at least a thousand. This g..
not an extraordinary number for city
II Hammonds size, and Il Is expected
that the desired number viii bs OBJ
tanned.
1t was universally conceded that the
Chamber Of Commerce did not com.
mand the interest OF its members as IT.
d!d when first organized, and several
of the members advanced their theor..
as to why this wa gtruo One man sus-
gested that the condition might be the
result Of the cumbersome procedure
made necessary by the bylaws sne
made the approval Of any project q
tedious procedure
II was also suggested that the lack
or interest might be~sttributed to th>
legislation OF the body being more ir
the hands Of the membership council
and the board Of directors rather thar
ln the hands of the mem bership as o
whole Subsequent remarks did not in
dorse this opinion.
The most popular reason for the lack
Of interest among the members is shat
the club has not in the past beer kent

the basis for the membership cam
paign to he put on next month. la
was pointed out that other chapters oil
