sembly, Brady Miller. and John
James, were guests of the M. & M
Business Mems club Monday even
ing. Others from Caldwell had
planned to attend, but because OF
weather conditions did not make
the trip.
Each of the three visitors from
Caldwell made brief addresses, III
which they expressed their opln-
ion that these business mems Or
ganizations have merit, since what

collectively and not as individuals.
Caldwell's like McConnelsville-Ma
ta's big problem, Mr.. Thompson

naturally theirs.
The remainder of the evening was
devoted to general round-table
discussion in which many subjects
were brought up.
Jack Matson presented the matter
of establishing a trades school mere.
He stated that the WPA would fur
nish teachers gratis; but the prof.

but had never been put in force.
The matter of an ordinance pro-
hibiting peddling by outsiders in the
twin cities was up again for discus

nance can be worked out.
