combination of some of the proposed
names in place of the present name
Douglas Ideal Climate club 1t has
been brought to the attention of many
of the club directors that the word
'ideal' which appears in the present
name is perhaps not exactly fitting
and for this reason some name en-
bodying the words sunshine and bor-
derland may be approved with the
climate end of the club embraced in a
catchy slogan to appear under the
clubs title.
The directors and the special
names contest committee wish to
thank all who contributed title for
their interest and backing. The di-
rectors were amazed and greatly
pleased with the number of sug-
gestions and they are convinced more
than ever that the club has practi-
cally solid support of the city. In
some cases, names were mailed in
by out-of-town residents who either
have lived here at one time or who
have heard favorable reports on the
aims of the club. This response from
such people is considered indicative
of the fact thai manay former Doug
tastes are ready and wiling to con-
tribute to the cause of the club.
Following a partial and general
survey of the names submitted at
the directors meeting yesterday, the
".names contest committee was given
charge of the suggestions and will
work on the great pile Of names to
choose the winning title during the
next few days.
