Commercial Club
Meet Is Postponed
To December 18th

Owing to other affairs, the dates
of which could not be changed, the
regular December meeting of the
Winslow Commercial club, which
was scheduled for Monday evening.
at the city hall, was postponed un-
til Monday, December 18th. The
small number of members in at
tendance Monday night discussed
matters that will come before the
clubs regular session next week,
and it is said by club officers to
be a certainty that the Commercial
Club is here to stay.
Heretofore, Winslow Commercial
Clubs have died completely in the
fall, only to be revived during the
spring of the following year, and
the momentum lost each winter has
accounted for slow organization
to follow. Officers of the present
club have no intention of allow
ing club matters to lapse simply
because summer enthusiasm has
APPARENTLY swaned, they state. e.
At the short meeting Monday
night it was suggested as a rea-
son for the failure. of past organi-
cations of similar nature that they
had looked at examples presented
them by much larger cities with
much larger Commercial, Clubs and
had planned or expected to carly
out projects too large. to- handle.
Commercial Club officials stated
that While it is1true1 that a large
club can accomplish big things, a
small Club can only expect to ac-
complish things within their pow
,er, and the program of the local
body in the future will be to take
up such matters as it can accom-
plish until increased membership
makes it possible to do bigger
things of more local significance.
With only small percentage OF
WinsloW people actually interested
in and working for the club, it was
pointed out that it stands to rea
son that the body cannot immedi-
ately cause a city park and a
swimming pool to appear here by
the use of a few mystic passes,
for such things come only after the
combined efforts of many men and
many dollars have been exerted for
some time.
Other things for which a Com
mercial Club might work are for
hidden the local club for the same
reason.
However, there will be sufficient
funds available to issue an excel
lent booklet describing Winslow
and the surrounding country, and
this booklet will be published dur
| ing the winter for distribution dur
ing the spring and summer months,
when a wide circulation will be
easy to attain.
Two outstanding duties present
themselves to the club, it was
pointed out Monday night. The
first is to answer promptly all
communications received. The sec
ond is to place the name and at
fractions of Winslow before more
people each year, to provoke more
of such INJURIES.
AS these communications in.
crease. interest is also proven to
have increased, and this interest
means that more and more people
are looking toward Northern Ari-
zona, and particularly Winslow,
with the object of making this city
their home. In some few cases
a family would profit itself little
! by the move, and these cases will
be discouraged whenever possible.
More often the proposed settlers
are, the type that build cities, and
they will be given every cncour-
agement to try their luck in Wins
low.
1t is believed that the program
of the club, for the immediate flu
ture, at least, will not deal with
matters really too weighty to han
die. but will encompass only those
things which it is actually possible
for small club of limited funds
| and limited membership to attain.
By following this system, Off
GERS of the club say, there will be
no time nor energy lost in pursuit
of the impossible, there will be no
loss of confidence within the club
OF outside because of some failure.
by going about its work by de-
grees, the club stands more chance
of getting its tuli growth. when il
