NEW MAN IS NEEDED Project For Holding Meeting of All Clackamas County Booster Clubs Is Endors ed. S. P. Davis, secretary of the public ity department of the Commercial Club, positively declined to reconsider his determination to resign and for that reason the proposed joint meet ing of the publicity committee and the advisory board, scheduled for Tuesday night, was abandoned. Mr. Davis will retire March 4 and a new secretary will be chosen to serve un til June, when the pledges for public ity work expire. A hurry call brought out a meeting of the publicity committee and the Board of Governors o the Commer cial Club Tuesday afternoon. The au thority and powers of the publicity committee and the advisory board were given full and free discussion. It appears that the money raised last Summer for publicity work was giv en under the agreement that an ad visory board of ten subscribers should be named and that they should be consulted and should approve any plan outlined or suggested for the expenditure of the publicity fund. The Board of Governors agreed to let this same, condition prevail until next June, but there will In all like--llhood be a change made when a re newal of the publicity subscriptions Is requested, as the Board of Govern ors will reserve the right to approve any contracts or Important plans agreed upon by the publicity depart ment. This means that the publicity committee will be regarded in the same light as other committees of the Commercial Club, and that their acts must have the approval of the Board of Governors at all times. The publicity committee of the Commercial Club and the advisory board at a joint meeting liist week accepted the resignation of S.- P. Davis, secretary of the publicity de partment. The resignation was ortg-' lnally presented several weeks ago, bui Mr. Davis was asked to remain in harness. However, he insisted up on his resignation be accepted and this was done, not, however, without many individual expressions of re gret from many of the members of the committee and advisory board. Mr. Davis plans to embark iu the real estate business in Oregon City. He has been in charge of the publicity work ever since it was commenced here last June, when the original fund was subscribed. Mr. Davis bad been given no assurances that he would be retained past next June, when the publicity pledges expire, and the sal ary paid the secretary Is only $75 per month. There are no applications for the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Davis, which takes effect March 4. It is hardly likely there will be a scramble for the place, as the pub licity committee will not engage a secretary for a later date than next June, If the publicity work Is to be continued after that time, It Is up to the business men of Oregon City to come through with monetary pledges for another year. The committee no doubt feels Jhat It has been fortunate in having had the services of Mr.. Davis for eight months at a small sal ary, and it is altogether possible that more money may have to be appro priated for a new secretary. . The project for holding a meeting of the booster clubs of Clackamas County In this city on Saturday, March 5. was heartily endorsed, and many of the members of the com mittee agreed to assist In defraying the cost of entertaining the visitors by voluntary contributions, but the request of the Board of Governors of the Commercial Club foT a appropria tion of $50 from the publicity fund was not granted. The committee and the advisory board recognized the (act that the money had not been sub scribed except for the purpose of ad vertising the county and It was fear ed that a disastrous precedent might be established If the appropriation was made. The publicity committee authorized the payment of a claim of $10 for rent, light and janitor service for the secretary's office. This will be paid every month. I TEACHERS PASS EXAMS.
