C. c. MEMBERSHIP
CAMP AIGN BEGINS
ON NEXT TUESDAY
Three Teams to Canvass
City to Secure 800
Members
Be READY TO SIGN UP
A Small Initiation Fee
and Minimum Dues
For Year

Final details of the campaign to
run the membership in the Palatka
Chamber of Commerce up to 300 will
be completed at a meeting of cap
tains and members of the three
teams at the offices of the Chamber
of Commerce in the James Hotel
building this afternoon at 4 o'clock
1t is proposed to offer a prize to
the team making the best record in
the three days canvass next week
commencing Tuesday, and the team
captains will map out their owr
strategic campaigns. The teams
will be known as the Reds, the
Whites and the Blues. Walter Tilgh.
man is captain Of the Reds, Roland
Spearman of the Whites and Howell
A. Davis of tie Blues.
The campaign will begin at ~
o'clock next Tuesday morning, and
each team will be pledged not to
work more than two hours each day,
from 10 o'clock to noon. They can
work in pairs, trIes, quartets or
seXtets, and it is believed that with
three days work the city will be en-.
tirely canvassed.
Small Initiation Fee.
The initiation fee of $40, as well
as the annual dues, can be paid in
monthly installments. For the first
ten months the newly elected mem
ber will pay two dollars per month,
and thereafter only one dollar per
month, representing his annual dues.
Or, if the member prefers to dispose
of the financial end of the contract
in quarterly, semi-annual or cash
payments he can do so.
Former members of the Business
Mems Association will be permitted
three memberships without addi-
tional payments, the $25 paid as ini
tiation into the Business Mems Asso-
citation being accepted by the cham
ber of commerce for three limitations
as already paid. 1t will, however,
be incumbent upon the member So
designated to keep up his or her
dues.
Good Fund Already Insured.
The finance committee which has
been securing contributions to meet
fixed expenses has only been out can
vassing twice, but have met with
fine success. They expect to close
this matter up by Monday and ex-
pect to have a sufficient amount in
contributions to pay current eX-
penSes.
Immediately upon the conclusion
of the membership drive it is pro-
posed to have a general meeting, at
which dinner will be served, for the
adoption of general plans for winter
activities. One of the first of these
it is believed, is the submission of a
definite plan for inviting DeLand,
Sanford, Orlando and other cities to
join in for encouraging increased
water freights on the St. Johns with
q view to securing the lowest posi-
BILE rates, as we'll as to be independ-
ent of rail rates and the proposed
increases.
There is already a very decided
sentiment in all of these towns for
such a move and there will be little
difficulty in financing the PROPOSE
tion as it will be outlined.
