school will observe Picture Day" on
Sunday morning, Sept. 7.
On this day each member is re-
quested to bring a small unframed
picture which may be bought for {
few pennies.
These pictures will be sent to the
hospitals, to homes where there is
illness, to some mission school in

ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING PLEDGES
EFFORTS TO BACK UP BOARD DIRECTORS
AUGUSTA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

While many people have taken the
Augusta Chamber of Comerce as a
matter of course and have never
stopped to think what keeps 1t going
nor what it Is supposed to do. the
response to the call for a meeting
at the Chamber Of Commerce room
Tuesday afternoon to determine
whether It s''rrld be continued along
it's present scale. reduced or abolish
ed, brought forth fifty business men
OF this city, about half Of whom were
non members, but all of whom be-
came quite enthusiastic after they
had been shown what the Chamber
Of Commerce is doing.
The question wal. put up 70 them
straight from the shoulder. The peo-
at the meeting have not supported

ner in which they should. The bur-
den Of the load has rested upon the
shoulders Of the Board of Directors
and practically without funds or CO.
operation they have maintained the
organization which has been so faith
fully and thoroughly "Omoting, inso-
far as has been possible with the re-
strictions mentioned above. civic bet
terment, business Improvement and
community leadership.
, 1t has now come to the time of an
election of officers and directors and
the beginnir ~ of a new fiscal year on

Chamber of Commerce met with
about % who were not members and
real heart to heart family talk was
held. Everybody was frank and on =

that individual so expressed himself.
The result was most gratifying to the

members Of the Board of Directors
who have so faithfully and honorably
performed the duties and attended to
the work which has come to them to
do, for after all of the discussion,
when the question was put as to how
many felt that Augusta should con-
tinue a Chamber of Commerce on it's
present scale. the result was a unani-
nous vote in favor Of maintaining
the organization.
Much discussion was held regard
ing dues and there was rather di-
versified opinion in regard to just
what should be the yearly rate. For
the past year the dues of the August
Chamber of Commerce have been
$500 practically the cheapest in the
whole United States and it has been
found that the dues are not sufficient
to allow any surplus to undertake
any large project or even to MAIN
tain fully the present organization in
the manner in which it should be.
This matter will undoubtedly be
worked out by the directors and pre-
sented at future meeting.
Norman l.. Bassett presided at the
meeting and outlined present existing
conditions to the gathering, after
which he asked for an expression"of
opinion from those present. Respon-
ses were made by D. w. Adams,
Charles Flynt. George Beckett, Mayor
Mclean. Thomas Ingraham. Frank
f. Tracy. Blaine S. Viles. Walter S.
Wyman. Harry Pierce. Charles Bilo-
deau, George Weber. George w.
Merrill. and Robert f. Eeane.
The meeting was extremely bene-
fetal from an educational viewpoint
A great many found out for the first
time the many. many things the
Chamber of Commerce is doing for
Augusta and everybody present ex-
pressed their willingness and desire
to assist in every possible way in in
Creasing the membership. in laying
out a really worthwhile program OF
work, in creating real. live. active
committees and by doing ANYTHING
that they possibly could to assist in
carrying through to successful
completion the many projects to be
handled dl,rin~ the coming year.
