weeks" this is one special week Ir
Our Valley can heartily recon-
mend.
The San Benito club has suggest
ed a perfectly logical and easily
workable method for carrying or
the campaign OF knocking the
knocker. The suggestion is that
all luncheon clubs-Kiwanis, Rotary
and Lions-during the week Of Sept
1928 put on appropriate programs
and secure ample publicity for al
the programs.
This is easy to do. There are
hundreds of sincere speakers
throughout the Valley who will be
glad to volunteer to deliver ad-
dresses on the indisputable out
standing. advantages Of the Valley.
Every newspaper in the Valley
will welcome an opportunity tc
publish the speeches.
this way a wealth Of inspir-
Ing Information will be presented IL,
an educational manner that will be
certain to supply the chronic
crouch with a more cheerful topic
OF conversation.
It is TO be hoped every civic club
in the Valley will follow the sug-
gestion. The date-when tourists
are just beginning to arrive for the
winters timely.
