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."
