During the business session of
the local Chamber of Commerce in
Midland Grange Hall Monday night
of this week, it was voted to have
a second brochure about George
town keyed to the interests of
school children who write from ali
over the country asking about the
town.
Manfrd G. Rust. president, said
that he had been receiving quite a
few of these requests from many
different states and that it seemed
that the regular brochures listing
the business houses of the town,
were not suitable.

wife to interview teachers of the
grades whose pupils seem to writ
the most letters and determine
their interests.
William E. Pusey reported on the
Spring Festival observed by the
local business houses and was
given a vote of thanks for arrang-
ing it as chairman of the Merch-
ants Committee.
