ATTITUDE INDICATED IN BOY SCOUT CONTROVERSY
Secretary of Chamber of Commerce to Attend National Institute
At the July meeting of the members of the board of directors of the Marlin
Chamber of Commerce Monday night the following proceedings were had:
Rev. F. P. Goddard presented the situation of the Boy Scout activities in Marlin
and the matter was generally discussed by the directors with an apparent opinion
that the Chamber of Commerce as an organization should not involve itself in
controversial matters of other local defined organizations, it was stated.
The secretary was permitted to leave Marlin the latter part of July in order to
attend the national institute in Evanston, Ill., after he has completely
prepared the details of the Chamber of Commerce work and files preparatory to
the August business details.
Miss Jimmie Coleman expressed appreciation to the board of directors and the
Chamber of Commerce for the opportunity allowed her to attend the Texas
Commercial Executives Association meeting in Houston.
A similar expression was made by the secretary, who announced his election as
secretary of the Texas Commercial Executives Association.
A letter of appreciation for the method, preparation and presentation of a
detailed report of the East Texas Chamber of Commerce convention activities to
the East Texas Chamber of Commerce from Hubert Harrison was presented, which
complimented the Chamber of Commerce on the manner of handling the convention
and preparation of the report.
A request from the county agent, Dan Clinton, was presented to the board urging
their co-operation and attendance at the Falls county day at the state
experimental station in Temple on July 13. Members of the board were urged
to attend and endeavor to assist in taking a large delegation to this meeting at
that time."
