Douglas daily dispatch. [volume] (Douglas, Ariz.) 1903-1961, 1926-03-23

las Ideal Climate club was perfected
amid enthusiasm and sincere boost
ing at meeting in the pariors OF
the Gadsden hotel Monday night at
which all but three of the 25 di-
rectors were present.
Everyone at the meeting spoke
with optimism and pep about the new
organization, and it was decided at
the very outset that any objection
lists from henceforth will be turned
into boosters for the city of Douglas.
j. w. Tardy, a most earnest and
faithful worker for the Ideal Climate
club idea in this city, was unani-
mously chosen president and prom
Used to give, his all while serving in
that capacity. Assisting Tardy in
the work will be A. B. Packard, who
was named first vice president; DR..
e. w. Adamson second vice presi-
dent; T. T. Schofield, third vice presi.
dent; A. A. Sundin secretary, and
A. J. McKinnon, treasurer.
The manager of the club to handle
tine work in this city as the Mccain
advertising brings results, will be
have been raised for the advertising
and the campaign to bring new resi-,
dents to Douglas has swung UNDER
way. S. p. Applewhite and A. S. j.
Shropshire We're chosen last night to
complete the board of directors of
the club and both were named with
out a desenting vote.
Perhaps the most appealing and
effective note of the evening was
struck by tex Rice, president of the
Douglas chamber of commerce and
mines, who stated that the organi-
cation of which he is now the head
will do all in it's power to aid the
Douglas Ideal Climate club and will
cooperate in every way possible to
see that the club and the chamber
foster the same aims. At a meeting
of the directors of the Douglas cham
Der of comDnerce and mines this eve
ming, more definite plans will be
made as to the precise manner in
which the chamber will cooperate
with the Douglas Ideal Climate club.
Officers of the new club will be
present at the chamber gathering to-
night to consider this important fea-
ture with the directors of the latter
association
For the present, at least, the exs
Ideal Climate club will consist of the
Officers named last night and the
members of the board of directors,
making in all 25 active workers.
When the club has developed more
fully and work is more systemized,
it is likely that the executive COM
mittee in order to function more
smoothly, will be reduced in number.
1t was decided to incorporate the
Douglas Ideal Climate club in order
chiefly ito protect the directors. A
meeting of the entire directorate of.
the club will be held every Monday
afternoon at 4:30 at the local cham
Der to review the work of the or.
ganization and to make plans for it's
coming endeavors.
The drive for funds for the Ideal
Climate club which has been started
by the Kiwanis club will be contin-
ued through the next few days and
on Monday afternoon, a complete re-
port of the progress made will be
given the directors who will then
reorganize for a more thorough and
careful drive. 1t was reported last
night that several thousand dollars
have already been pledged with more
than half of the city yet to be cam
vassed and it is believed that the
general quota of about $4,000 for the
first years work will be realized in
quick order.
During the final days of the pres
ent drive, the various Kiwanians on
the committees so active in canvass
ing the city, will have the assistance
of those members of the board of
directors who have not yet been
to definite committee.
Many of the directors at last
nights meeting made inspiring adj
dresses as to the work of the Sun
shine club in Tucson and as to the
possibilities of the local climate club.
1t was brought out that through eff
fective cooperation several citizens
from other sections of the country
have already settled here and that
many more are DESTROYS of coming
just as soon as their plans are COM
pleted
The Mccain agency is ready to
send man here to make complete
survey of the city in the near future
