There is every reason to believe that still greater cooper ation will be given during the current school year. The purpose and the results of the work done by these patrols by now are known to. and have impressed, motorists. "The motor car operator has learned that when the boy pa trolman hofds up his hand or sets the? stop sign against him that it is not an order but a plea for as sistance. Who could resist such a plea when behind it is the calm. confident trust of a child?" Many more schools ..will have patrols -this year, the A.A.A. lead ers declare. There is no question but that they will result in the saving of many lives because the patrolman is respected not only by the motorist but by the child ren whom he is trying to aid. "Vacation is over. Millions of children are going back to school. Lft each motorist consider his in dividual responsibility for their safety and there will be infinitely fewer tragic accidents involving the school child," the statement concludes. In the Chevrolet annals of the Pacific northwest Thursday, Sep tember 15. will form a red-letter chapter chronicling the first con- l-vention of the 72-Car clubs of the Butte. , Portland and Seat tle zones. Eighty-five members, salesmen 'who during the fiscal year ending August 1 sold 7 2 cars, were honor guests of the C'h'evrolet Motor Co. at a business session, a trip up the Columbia river' and a dinner and social gathering. Doug las McKay, of the McKay Motor Co.. Salem, was one of those in attendance. Last year's convention was a re gional affair, held at the Chevrolet factory in Oakland. Cal., only 20 members being present from the northwest. The Portland zone at that time comprised the territory now covered by the three zones, division having taken place in ac cordance with factory policy of more intensive sales development In view of this rapid growth in membership, reflecting the re markable increase in volume of production and sales of Chevrolets during tire last fiscal year, the 72 Car club is believed now to be the largest organization of its kind in the country. E. W. Fuhr, regional sales man ager, officiated as chairman of the business meeting, held at the Mult nomah hotel, and as toastmaster at the dinner taking place in the evening at the same hostelry. Of ficers of the club in the three zones for the ensuing year were installed by the executive, who congratulated the members upon their sales performance and pre dicted that under the present sales policies of the company, which are to be continued, new records will be established next year. mi - - ine raciory was also repre sented by R. K. White, national sales promotion manager, who was in attendance from Detroit head quarters; H. K. Bragle. regional sales promotion manager, and the following named zone officials: Butte A.

White, national sales promo tion manager, who la known throughout the cpuntry as a logical and eloquent speaker. He featured the unprecedented production and Liale strides of Chevrolet in the last year and emphasized the part played . in - its progress by retail salesmen, whom he termed "the men on the firing line." Mr. White' prophesied ' that with its present unrivaled facilities and the strongest, most unified organiza tion in its history Chevrolet willj sweep on to other record-breaking; goals. . On the river outing valuable prizes were awarded to the win ners of various games, the list in cluding chests of silver, a rifle, a fishing kit, a coffee percolator ser vice, a 'picnic kit. a walrus glad-stone- bag. a leather portfolio and many other articles. Elaborate favors were presented all the club members and the sec ond year members received dia mond pins. All members last year qualified again, this year, and .eight of the - second-year men were elected to office, this being gov erned, by new car sales points only, though sales both of new and used cars counted in gaining member ship in the club. The following is the list of offic ers of the zone clubs who were in stalled for the ensuing year: Portland: President F. T. Hahn, of the Fields Motor Car Co.. Port land; vice-president, W. L.
