Boosting annual dues, discus
sion of Wheaton as a first-class
post office and raising of funds
were the main topics of business
at the meeting of the Wheaton
Chamber of Commerce, held at
Town and Country Inn last week.
For some time it has been felt
that dues of the Chamber should
be raised from $24.00 a year to
$4,000, and at the recommends
ton of the groups Board of Di-
rectors, this change was ap-
proved at the regular meeting
last week.
Tom Amatucci, chairman of the
post office committee, reported
to the group that in order to set
up Wheaton as a first-class post
office, the voting area and fire
area must be encompassed into
the same area. 1t will be neceS-
sary to secure the approval of
the residents of the community
for the changing and setting of
boundary lines which would make
up the Wheaton area.
Amatucci pointed out having
Wheaton a first-class post office,
instead of a sub-station of Silver
Spring as it is now, would necessi-
tate higher salaries for the post
master and other employees -
thus requiring a higher appro-
priation.
He stated also that indications
show that first-class post office
will be needed in the area eventu-
ally, since Wheaton is growing.
1t was felt that, in the face of this,
the committee should continue its
efforts toward establishing
first-class post office for this
area.
Saul Alper, President of the
Wheaton Chamber, appointed the
following to act as a Embarrassing
committee: Robert Pendleton,
chairman; Tom Amatucci, CO.
chairman; Mrs. Joan Barnes and
Mr.. Edwin Broomall. One of the
first projects of this committee
will be the selling of front plates
for automobiles bearing the
words, Wheaton, Maryland.
The Boy Scouts and the Wheaton
Citizens Association will be in
vited to join in the sale of these
plates.
introduced to the group was
the Chambers new recording
secretary Mrs. Dora Jacobs.
