The Chamber of Commerce is now
working on a plan to establish what
will bo known a3 n "publicity fund".
Members of tho organization instead
of making individual donations for
i'ourtn ot July celebrations, expenses
of entertaining conventions,, and liko
purposes, will pay into this publicity
fund a stated amount each year, and
the board of directors will disburse tho
fund according to their best judgmont.
If contributions are asked for proposi
tions that do not meet the approval of
the board, they will have the power to
turn it down. Under thiB plan if a
solicitor approaches a business man for
a donation, the business man simply
refers the solicitor to tho board of
directors.

give his share toward wiping out tho
indebtness.
