Following approved lines of organic
ing, the Tourists Club of San
Antonio is fast shaping itself into
an organization reaching, not only
to the various parts of the United
States, but also TO the major portions
OF the North American continent. By
tens and twcnties the membership of
the club is increasing daily and the
roll call now is considerably past the
three hundred mark.
At a meeting of the club at the
Tourists Home, 31J E. Croceket, street,
Saturday afternoon, President A. J.
Haynes called. for a report from the
committee which had been appointed to
select board of directors. After some
discussion the decision was reached to
increase the board from five to seven
members and the following were ap-
pointed: Mrs. Hattie Magness, Iowa,
Chairman; Mrs. +. l.. Hamlin, Mis-
bouri; W. II. Collins, Indiana; i. A.
Bowers, Kansas; Mrs. ]. d. Noble.
Texas; j.. +. Johnson, I-rkansas; and
ID. C. Robertson, Oklahoma. Following
the appointment of the board. President
Haynes made a short speech outlining
the purpose of the club and asking tnat
resolution be framed thanking the
people of the city for the prompt and
generous way in which they had pro-
vided for the comfort and amusement
of the tourists when their wishes had
been made known. The thanks were
also extended to the Federation of
women's Clubs and the other civic MS
sociations of the city which have been
active in helping to form the Tourists
Club.
Just Big Family.
One visit to the club is all that Is
necessary to be assured that 1t is the
mecca for tourists Of the city and that
their appreciation of it is boundless.
At all hours Of the day and long into
The night there are from fifty to one
hundred tourists at the home, playing
or laughing and talking. The feeling
that exists between them is best
described in the words of one OF the
tourists who said. eve are just like
a great big family. Without the home
we could never be friendly. wouldn't
dare TO stop strangers on the street and
mass the time of day. But here
that Is different. This is the finest
thing that / have ever seen. Never
before have I enjoyed my winter so
much. All the rest of them feel the
same way about it and I'll bet that
next year there are twice as many
tourists in the city"
The following list, taken from the
club register late Saturday, is the COM
plete membership up to the present,
and there are still more tourists in the
outlying parts of the city who have
not been in. They are promising each
other that as they scatter lack TO the
four corners of the country during the
summer months they will not forget
the TOURISTS Club of San Antonio. and
will be back with achievements when
the SHOWS again begin to fall.
