THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

By vote of the people of El Centro Monday every
taxpayer IN the city will hereafter contribute to the
support of the Chamber of Commerce. the fund deriv
ed from levy of 10 on each 500 of valuation
being administered by that body under supervision of
the city council
For several years past in fact since its formation
The Chambr of Commerce has been handicapped by
lack of funds this lack being caused primarily by the
unwlli1ngneSs of many citizens to support it. The
chamber is now assured of funds sufficient for its work
and the board of directors its clear pro-
ceed on a progressive and comprehensive program for
city betterment, hitherto impossible.
Having legally pledged themselves to support the
Chamber OF Commrce citizens of Ell Centro should in
tcres themselves sufficiently to take active part
its affairs AT time has the chamber been CLOSED
corporaton. 1t has always sought the interest and
cooperation of ALL The who have directed its af-
fairs have worked unsefishly for Ell Centro most of
the time against odds that would have been dscourag
ing to them they not inspired by civic pride and
desire to foster a real community spirit here.
Under It's new status, with tidy sum assured it
annually the objective of the chamber will not change.
1t IS hoped the contrary that the attitude of citi-
zens will change toward the chamber Instead of let
ting It get along best it by ITSELF it is desired
that the citizens will actively identify themselves with
its undertakings
Technically, every taxpayer will be member Of
the chamber. By payment of small annual dues
(Which the directors hope will be lowered under the
new arrangement) each taxpayer may be active
member of the organization 1t should be possible with
the cooperation of the citizens to build up organza
ton of several hundred members, working together in
harmony for one idea-making Ell Centro better
place IN which to live, and making attractive to 9TH
er home-seckerS.
Civic leaders throughout the country recognize
the truth of the saying that community be Judged
by its Chamber of Commerce If the chamber is active
and functioning efficiently is very certain that the
city will be progressive, modern and considered by
all live city If the chamber is dragging the an
chor il is safe bet that the city is known throughout
its section dead city" The Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce does not propose that Ell Centro shall be
known as q dead city"

"BROADWAY OF AMERICA

Ell Centro today greets the motorcade from San
Diego, starting out for Memphis to attend the Broad
way of America convention.
The phrase has been in print considerably
of late and it is hardly possible that anyone does not
know just what the term means. 1t might be stated,
however that is the of transcontnental high
way route, starting Broadway New York, and end
ing at Broadway, San Diego.
1t is an open all the year round route sweeping
down through the Middle Atlantic States, the
Sunny South and into the West by way of Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona to California.
The Memphis Convention has for its purpose
bringing the cities the highway in closer touch with
pagn to sell the broadway of America idea to the
entire nation that tourists will prefer it above all
other routes
simultaneously with the departure of the motor
cade from San Diego, another left New York today,
travelling westward. Both motorcades will convene
a. Memphis. The eyes of the entire nation will be
the convention in that city and the good roads move
ment will be given impetus that is certain to stm
ulate ranscontnenal travel, which daily increases IN
magnitude.
Fl Centre and Imperial Valley in a modest way,
contributing to the of the Memphis conVen-
ton by sending delegations in the motorcade which
will BE- increased in size it travels eastward by dele
cations from every city enroute.
From the Memphis convention it is hoped to evolve
a dehalte plan for paving the 'BrOadWay OF America
from coaSt tO-cOast rapidly possible. The Atlas
Of the end Of Broadway is Colonel Ed Fetch-
er, whose name is synonymous with good roads. AS
sociated with him all along the route are other men
also arseelng enough to realize the value of having
splendid highway such the "BrOadWay of America"
will be, passing through their cities.
II Centre and Imperial Valley viii derive much
favorable publicity from participating IN the motor
cade. BcS Of all they will be participating in a con-
structye project whose benefits in the future should
than repay the small amount involved in joining
the mOtorcade
FL Centro bids the motOrcade Godspced to Mem
phis and feels confident the work Of these pioneers
will be crowned with and their hopes for the
"BrOadway Of America fully realized.

Lions Hear Talk
On Athletics

Lions Club members heard fine
talk ON "Athlctics in School and
College, by J. Van Law, a recent
graduate of the University Of
Utah, who was the principal speak
cr at the club 5 luncheon today.
Fred Connolly was chairman of the
day.
Van Law spoke on school athletics
from the physical, moral and men
tai angles, showing the benefits re-
ceivcd from athletics training. Tn
der the first head he outlined the
benefits available to even small,
punv boys through systematic ath-
lctics. The moral effect of kccping
boys busy in their spare time with
hcalthful sports was emphasized,
and the mental value of coordina-
tion Of mind and body formed the
third salient point of the talk.
Several solos, sung by Lion IIar-
ry Becker with Mrs. Omega Connci.
lv at the piano, were much enjoy
ed. Fines of considerable sizes
were assessed against Lions J. c.
Neale and c. IL. II. Small for their
success in yesterday S city election.

Librarians Back
From Conference

After attending the thirty-third
annual meeting of the California
Library Association, Miss Agnes
Ferris, city librarian, and Miss Eva
lyn Boman, county librarian, have
returned to the city, and report n
fine and stimulating meeting. The
sessions were held at the Mission
Inn at Riverside.
A feature of the convention, it is
reported, was number of talks by
authors and publishers, which took
the place of the more technical pro-
grams which have predominated in
the past.
One evening was devoted exclu-
sively to Western authors, those ap-
pcaring personally being James Will
lard Schultz, Henry Herbert Kubbs
William s. Hart of motion picture
fame who also writes western stor-
les, Eugene Manlove Rhodes and the
Indian Chief Standing Bear, all of
whom publish their works through
Houghton- Mifflin Co.
Children's reading was interest
ingly discussed by Lucy Fitch Per
kins Ella Young, Irish poetess, Mrs.
Ethel Richardson of the state de-
partment of education and Prof.
Lehman of the University of Cali
fornia who talked ON the Trend of
Modern Fiction were much enjoyed.
\ post-conference trip to the top
of Mt. Wilson where they were
shown through some of the obscrva-
tory buildings and heard an astro-
nomical lecture was an interesting
event.
