From the standpoint of en tertain ment. attendance and co-operative sp irit in the launching of several projects of vital com m unity in terest the meeting was a marked success. The program which proved to be a veritable “ feast of good things” every num ber of which was received and vociferously encored, included two num bers from the Choral So ciety under the Jible direction of Mr. H orner, violin duets by Messrs. Baker and Ahlberg, With Mrs. C. A. Dykman at the piano, several am using readings by Mr. Roy Beck, and a group of songs most delight fully rendered by Mr. F red Horner. The debate, “ Resolved th a t Clack amas valley should erect an adver tising arch over the highway a t Clackamas sta tio n ,” with Rev. Ira Ranki.. and Mr. A. G. Ames as the affirmative speakers and Air. W. J. Moore and Mr. H. C. Stephens pre senting the negative side proved a highly diverting and wholly en ter taining affair in as much as the de baters gave a hum orous tu rn to th eir rem arks. It was plain to be seen th a t though the negative sp eak ers presented some astounding arg u m ents in support of th eir side, their sym pathies were unm istakably with the nffirmitive. As it was the wish of those present th a t the E astern Clackamas Com munity club affiliate with the county organization, the G reater Clackamas Union of Clubs, President Cooke contem plates put ting on a membership drive th a t our club ro ster may do E stacada and environs num erical credit in the union. Mr. Stephens bronched the sub ject of the organization of a Union High School district. A fter outlining the advantages of ■.he proposed union he moved “T hat the chair appoint a com m ittee (of which Mr. Cooke should be a mem ber) to take up the form ation of uch a d istrict with the boards of education in the districts con cerned.” The motion carried, Mr. Cooke appointing Mr. Ames and Mr. Stephens to serve with himself on the committee. S uperintendent of schools Vedders who chanced to be in the audience expressed himself as heartily in favor of the proposed union and gave a clear, forceful and enlightening discussion of the bene- .'t to be derived from co-operation of th a t nature, citing the work now being done in the several Union high choolo of the county. Mr. Ames, Mr. Beck and Mr. H orner took p art in the inform al discussion which fol lowed. Mr. Dinty Moore, who has been skefi by P resident Cooke, to in ter view the members of the County C ourt in regard to the m atter of fu rth e r road im provem ents reported th a t Judge Cross had promised to have a crew of men a t work on the River road within a m onth— th a t was on the road itself— to be put in b etter condition, but the walls of everal of the covered bridges wer to be cut down to adm it an unob- tru cted view of the highway. Mr. Cary introduced a resolution hat the club indorse the appoint ment of Mr. Kelly as vice-president of the P. E. P. Co., the club gave its unanim ous indorsem ent to the resolution.
