CIVIC CLUBS FORM BODY II WATCH
 NEW LEGISLATION
Will Make investigations And Report On Their
 Findings
BESSEMER BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD
BesseIner, Ala, Aug. ?


 Bessemer civic organizations will form a legislative committee, the duties of which will be to investigate legislation pending or proposed be- fore the legislature at Montgomery and report to their various organiza- tions, so that steps in support of or against such measures may be carried out. This committee will consist of two members from the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, to be appointed this week. The Rotary club has named Hugh McEniry and George Woodrow as its represen- tatiVes.
 Much interest will be taken in the work of this committee, as already this year there have been a number of bills before the legislature direct ly affecting this district. Twill be the purpose of the committee to study all pending legislature, es- tablish communications with reliable sources in Montgomery, and recom- mend action.
 In case any legislation is intro duced affecting this community the civic organizations will be in a posi- tion to immediately support or fight such bills. Fortunately the few bills asked of the legislature by citizens of the Bessemer cut off this year, have been granted. But with the added support of the civic clubs it is thought the atte-:tion of the leg islature can be secured more easily.
