Nev., Nov. 21 (IP) The poor Reno chamber of commerce Is catch-all for all the goofy ideas the world in general has about the mythical Reno of magazines and movies. One principal bit of folklore that the chamber has to repudiate is that comely grass widows lounge on street corners, looking for a man on whom they can squander their fortunes. Applications for "contacts" with a wealthy and beautiful or sometimes just wealthy widow from lonely gentlemen usually draw a polite and firm denial from the chamber that it is a matrominial agency.
