and child in the Valley will have
a part in building up the machinery
OF the advertising organization will
be brought out, and a method OF

Tentative suggestions made at
various times in the recent past have
indicated that practically every
chamber Of commerce in the Valley
will be interested in such a cam
paign, according to G. G. Richard

Such a step was discussed tenta-
lively at the last meeting Of the
body, but was temporarily side

Since that plan has been dropped. the
members will undoubtedly come back
