PROGRAM COMMITTEE WAS
APPOINTED FOR BANQUET
Linn-MarionBoundary Question
Is Discussed by Members
. V of the Club.
: i. ,
At a well attended mcetinor of the
Albany Commercial Club held l.tst
night, the matter of correcting the
boundary line between Linn and
.Marion counties was under considera
tion nnd the members of the legisla
ture from Linn county requested to
use their influence to secure the nas-
sage of a bill which will determine
and settle the boundary disputes be-'
tweeir the two counties.
The matter of preparing for the
banquet which will be tendered to Dr.
Crooks was also discussed and the
following committee appointed on
ogram: ii; li. Mci-une, V. U.
roodyorth and C. E. Sox.
The following ' letter from Dr.
Crooks to the Albanv Commercial
Club is self explanatory:
1 Dear leave to express tormaiiv mv
thanks to the Commercial Club for
their co-operation in o'ur ; recent Al
bany College Endowment campaign.
l regret that unusual pressure since
the first olf January has made it im
posiblc for me to write this ami t many
other letters that I should have been
glad ;o write immediately after the
success of the campaign. I trust that
you will pardon tardiness. I remem
ber with gratitude the interest with
which the Commercial Club listened
to the statement of iour project made
by myself nnd Mr. Carl E. Sox. I re
member arratefully that your board
of directors at once voted a commit
tee to co-operafe with us and that this
committee was laithful to a man in at
tending a number of necessary meet
ings nnd in giving us aid in the dif
ficult matter of soliciting funds.
;yjaturaiiy i turned at once to the
Commercial Club for assistance. Nat
urallyve used the Commercial Club
offices as headquarters. Without such
an organization in Albany our work
would have been seriously crippled,
Gitr probability of success would have
been much lessened. i
VI liiive been too busy for the last
year or two and too frequently out of
town to know intimately the operation
o'f the club and to know with what
measure of financial support you are
meeting. The thought comes to me
that the most wide awake towns which
1 encounter are town3 which support
liberally a Commercial Club or a
Chamber of Commerce who take up
all projects for the- community's up
building. I want to pledge you my
own support in whatever capacities
you find you can make use of me and
to express the ho pe that the citizens
of 'Albany will give to your work such
support that you can do the good
work I lint you have done.
('Again thanking you and especially
the committee of your board of di
rectors for the work done in connec
tion with the Albany College Endow
ment l'und."
Mrs. D. M. Shields and Miss Dottie
Shields of Detroit, Or., spent yester
day afternoon in Albany on a short
shopping trip. They returned home
this morning.
