DISTRICT FAVORED
 F0R GAR DIRECTOR
Office May Be Established in Birmingham to Aid
 Transportation

A. s. Lucas, chairman of the Bir- mingham District Iron and Steel Traffic Managers association, has re- ceived . reply from a request for the appointment of a permanent district car distributor. which indicates that the car service division of the American Railway association is at least earnestly considering the plac- ing of such an office and official here.
 car service division of the American Railway association, has written that the proposition is under considera- ton. In fact, says Mir Gormley, a district manager for car distribution, has been placed at Chicago and the association is watchful of the out come as proving whether it is a wise step or not. If the experiment at Chicago turns out satisfactorily. pre- sumption is that it will be insti- tuted elsewhere.
 The plea of the iron and steel men Is that with the location of dis trict manager in charge of car dis tribution that matter would be greatly facilitated, because the man ager being on the ground and familiar with the situation, could quickly solve car problems. It is. of course, understood that the man ager should have authority to act on his own initiative and not be forced to refer everything to head quarters

FORUM ESTABLISHED AT. COMMERCE CHAMBER

With a view to establishing a weekly Civic forum as regular fea- ture of its activities, the Chamber of Commerce is addressing letter to the membership asking them to join the forum, which 1t Is expected to start as soon after January 1 as pos sible.
 The forum is to meet Mondays at the Tutwiler and enjoy a Dutch treat. each man paying for his lunch. The luncheon is to last from 1 o'clock to o'clock. Interesting programs are to be arranged for each luncheon and 15 minutes of each session arc to be devoted to discussion of civic af- fairs. Every member is to be wei eomed to make suggestions, to criti- else what he thinks K wrong and to otherwise freely express himself in the interest of the community.
 The management of the chamber believes that valuable suggestions ought to come out of the forum dis cusslons and that they will serve to feed X both the senior and junior chambers with inspiration to action of benefit alike to the organizations and to the city and district.
 The Civic forum was a leading feature of the Civic Association and the chamber intends to perpetuate 1t and add to it's drawing qualities and power for doing good.
