Inc 1lrSt real meeting OF the Wins
low Commercial club was held We'd
nesday evening. 1t was an ho1est-to-
goodness community meeting and the
club started into its real work with
an enthusiasm that is believed to be
be in no wise false
A number of matters of great i'm
portance to the city were discussed.
Election of officers for the year 1925
was held. A number of committees
were appointed by President William
Nagle, and plans laid for ultimately
taking up more far-reaching meas
ures for which permanent committees
will be named at an early date.
The election of officers, following
nominations by a committee elected
at the previous meeting resulted as

vice-president, Chas. P. Mason; secre-
tary-treasurer, Charles F. Murphy:
board of directors, r. M. Pincetl, Fred
B. Douglas, G. G. Payne, Chas. Dare
and H. j. Fouts. The secretary
treasurer's job was made salaried
one, the salary being stipulated at
$25 per month for the first three
months.
The discussion of plans for the
municipal Christmas tree for the kids
of the city on Christmas eve was ta-
ken up and a committee of one, DR..
Geo. P. Sampson, with r. K Cohk-
hill, alternate, was named to confer
with the Elks lodge committee to see
if the efforts of both organizations
could not be combined, as the Elks
have in past years held a similar
festivity The aid of the Rotary club
was also solicited. The council Wo-
mems club and Commercial club wish
to include all organizations in the
work. A committee composed of G.
F. Muhpry, Claude Quebedeaux and
r. K. Corkhill was named to take full
charge of the affair for the club.
1t was reported to the club that the
city council had had the ball park
marked and dragged as asked by Bob
Hausler unofficial representative of
the army air service. movement to
fittingly dedicate the new air field
and Albuquerque-Los Angeles air line
was sponsored, and a committee ap-
pointed consisting of Chas. P. Mason
of The Mail, Mayor Fred B. Douglas
and City Engineer A. R. Lendecke, to
take up with Mr.. Hausler the invita-
ton to army flyers to visit Winslow
at the dedication and put on an aerial
circus. Additional information about
this will be found in another column.
The club decided to give CONNER
cial club banquet some time soon af-
ter the first of the year, at which, pos
sibly, visiting airmen and army Off
GERS will be guests of honor, the ban
quet to be given in the Harvey house.
The affair will be public. The COM
mittee named to take up the airfield
dedication ceremony was asked also
to act as a committee to make final
arrangements for the big community
feast of good will.
A discussion concerning the need
of an improved road south to the Salt
River valley from Winslow preceded
adjournment President Bill Nagle
told of the efforts put forth by himself
while resident of Springerville some
time ago on behalf of the Springer
ville-Rice-Phoenix good road. He got
lot of good-natured kidding about
having tried at that time to shut Wins
low out of the running for a good
north and south road. The projected
road from Shiprock, N M, to Phoe-
nix, via Holbrook and Heber was men
toned and it was the opinion of the
club that steps should be taken to at
once agitate for routing the highway
via Holbrook, Winslow and Sunset
Pass to Pine and Payson, as this
would be the more feasible, both in
the expense of building and distance.
