Calls for Clearing
House to Prevent
Conflict in Events

The Mt Top Chamber of Commerce
will act as a Clearing house for
dates of events in Oakland, in an at
tempt to try to avoid the numerous
conflicts that are always occurring, it
was announced this week by Charles
L. Briner, secretary.
This was first suggested last year
by Joseph Gluck, director of student
affairs, West Virginia university,
who spoke before the Chamber at the
annual meeting.
Many times it is discovered that
when one organization sets date for
an event, that one or more organiza-
tions already have something planned
for the same evening. Mr.. Briner
said he expected to keep a chart Of
coming events and urged organi-
cations to check with him before set
ting a date for meetings. A year or
two ago an attempt was made to keep
Wednesday nights for church activi-
ties, but this has not worked out too
well. The Republican will assist in
this attempt at coordination by list
ing coming events from week to
week.

and productivity are concerned, and
that more and more are being drilled.

a new well "came in" this week to
the extent of 100000 cubic feet, con-
siderably less than the to 10 mil
lion capacity that was reported on
