W. Gano, who was in Portland, Vice Pres ident F. W. Martin occupied the chair at the Chamber uf Commerce direc tors’ meeting in the hotel Wednesday evening. Mr. Martin, in a talk to 'the dosen directors present, streaeed the need for a more extensive program for the chamber in 1934. At the meeting two months ago the Coast Highway Association was again made the ma jor project for chamber activity this year, and $20 a month was pledged to its support. There is no greater objective that any chamber along the coast can undertake and when the five bridge« are built the coast association will have amply justified its existence (t has anyway for that matter), but even after the five major streams are bridged there will still be urgent need for co-operative effort in bringing the opportunities of the coast section to the attention of the world, and this is what is being done under the man agement of Ed Miller. > Mr. Martin’s idea, however, was that there is plenty of opportunity for chamber activity here in town, in ad dition to the highway program. He suggested for one thing that the chamber co-aperate with the Woman’s Club in endeavoring to secure a great er Coquille library. After looking over the large amount of shelf room in the library, which is only partially filled with books, he came to the con clusion that an apepal to Coquille peo ple would result in the donation of hundreds of books to the library from homes in the eity. He is right. There are very few homes here which hare hot a lot of books in their libraries which the owners would be glad to place where they would be appreci ated. "The making of a playground at the baW park was another «nggestiaai. A third ide« was that the witale eity work for a better street lighting sys tem in the business district.

After six o’clocks, when the stores cloae, such accommodations ar« quite limited.
