Put O.. X. on Pageant.
At the meeting last night, the
directors of the Chamber put their
stamp of approval on proposed
pageant, which is tentatively plann.
ed to be given here in June under
the direction of Mrs. A. B. Morgan
1t was explained that this pageant
is to have a cast of several hundred
men, women and children from all
parts OF the county and in the opin
ion of the directors, would make
most pleasing as well as education
al feature.
Because the chambers policies
have always been to keep away
from participation in money-making
activities and to derive its funds
for operation strictly from the mem
bership, it was thought best not to
authorize the staging of the pageant
under the auspices or supervision
of the chamber The plan, therefore,
was recommended to the Grady park
board as means for furnishing a
brand Of jam-up entertainment as
well as for providing funds to fur
ther the improvement of the fair
grounds in the city.
Bingham Succeeds Kid.
The directors voted to elect O. l..
Bingham as director to fill the
vacancy on the board, which re-
suited with the removal Of Phil c.
Kidd from Chickasha to Norman.
Mr.. Bingham will assume his duties
as director of the organization
at once.
During the progress of the session
the highlights for 1922 were dis
cussed and the tentative program
to be presented to the membership
at the mid-winter meet was pre-
pared. The decision was reached
to continue certain matters started
in 1921 and carry them to a con-
clusion. Among these propositions
are tle continuation of work on the
Grady county fair grounds and the
fight for natural gas for this city.
In addition to the program features
started in 1921, new activities pro-
posed for the coming year were de-
cided upon and are to be placed
before the membership at the Jan.
nary 50 meeting.
