The members of the chamber of commerce met last evening at the public library auditorium and de spite the fact that the elements were de M-d!y against the attendance of anyone at the meeting, a pleasing numtiT were on hand when the ma chinery was set in motion by Presi dent Sattler. The first order of business as an- nouncea was mat oi ine election oi the new officers for the year and a good start when the name of Henry tion ior me omce or president ana i-arr fi with a linn n i mmi rnto nrwl despite the protests ofA the drafted candidate, who was drowned out in the storm or enthusiasm that the members felt over the election. For vice president the club reach ed out and drafted another of the faithful workers back in the harness in the person of John P. Sattler and while Mr. Sattler expressed his desire to stand on the side lines he was IJiatf u ua;h ill ms iiiiusi ui lue ngui. At this time Roy Knorr, who has guarded faithfully the strong box of the club for several years, took op portunity of unloading the job by n : . : t -i-. Tt i e ii u,um4U,:5 lur Wie a.ixiiift i iut- ".iriai, tt3 left to the discretion of President Schneider to pick someone with whom he was familiar and who would make a good second for the team of boosters. The final selection of Mr. Schneider wiil be given out at a later date. '. A number of the members were'out the same policy in allowing the'Keck of Polk Comes Forward with wneii ,iia entnusiasm over ine pros - pects for the ensuing year and sev- eral peppy talks were iveTMrr differ - ent members on som- of the things, that the chamber of commerce could and should io in the ensuing year. C. C. Wescott urged that , the officers be given a financial backing that would enable them to carry out the various projects that arose from time fntiiTiP in cnrinr nw footnrio. anH indastries and acting on matters that might need the expenditure of small stvjs. He remarked on the fact that the city was emerging from one of the worst years in its history, and that the future was filled with prom- 133 of great results, with new en thnciaom q ti? r o-co,..,! -u confidence Georire Pe'rintr stated that otip nf ue re.nag Siairu inai one OI the things that the club should try and do was the securing of some small industry here to occupy the building once used by the M. E. nrfil could be easily done and other small factories urged to come here. E. H. Wescott paid a very touch ing tribute to the late L. C. Sharp, long a member of the chamber of commerce and a booster all the years for Plattsmouth and whose sugges tions were always filled with the spirit of the future greatness of the community in which, he had been reared and to which he returned in later years to make his home. What Mr. Sharp had done for the com munity should be recognized and would be more and more appreciated now that he was gone, Mr. Wescott stated. On motion a committee to urart resolutions oi respect to tne memory of Mr. Sharp was named. and was composed of C. C. Wescott. S. S. Chise and J. P. Sattler. Prcsiaent-eieet Srhneider was call- cd to the chair by the retiring presi- dent and gave a few of his hopes for tne coming year ana some oi tne things that the organization could ana snoum do at tnis time. Air. Schneider stated that in the re-or- ganization of things following the past seven months of uncertainty and unrest there would be a great ! amount of residence property on the market here and also a great demand for new homes by strangers who had come here to live and this was one of the big items of the reconstruc tion period. He urged a greater co- operation in assisting those who were here looking for new homes. Mr. Schneider also urged the boost- ,t, r..m o ,i,eoH here, the Nebraska Masonic Home and the Sharp machine shops in par- titular.
