Center Sets Organization
Phoenix An important orga
nizational meeting for the Phoe
nix Community Club and Youth
Center will be held Monday,
August 11, 8 p.m., in the club
building, according to O. E.
Frazier, temporary president.
The club is now in the process
of reorganization, Frazier said,
and if it is to continue and oper
ate for the benefit of this com
munity it must have the coop
eration of all.

were to be elected, all nominees
for the entire slate of officers
declined office, forcing a post
ponement of election until new
nominees could be obtained.
Decline Again
At a special meeting two
weeks later, the president con
tinued, there was a repetition,
all nominees declining to run.
Following this, there was a
lengthy discussion as to the ad
visability of changing the poli
cies of the club and operating
under a board of directors, com
posed of one member from each
local club and a member of the
city government. This proposed
board of directors would in turn
elect from its own ranks a chair-,
man and secretary-treasurer.
Frazier said that "in this man
ner it was felt that the Commu
nity club would actually exist as
such and be operated by the
clubs who originally sponsored
and organized it.
."In order to facilitate this re
organization," he continued,
and also in order to comply
with existing by-laws, a grouD
of members agreed to accept of
fice in a temporary capacity un
til such reorganization could be
completed." The officers are, be
sides Frazier, A. H. MacKintosh,
vice - president; Mrs. M. O.
Grove, secretary-treasurer, and
Mark Norton and Leonard Half
hill, directors.
Committee Named
A committee has also been ap
pointed to paint the building,
plan a kitchen addition and
gravel the ground in front of
the structure from revenues re-!
ceived from the last May fes-;
tival.
A benefit is also being plan-!
ned to raise funds for Victor I
Medcalf, festival participant.
who suffered a leg injury during
the festivities. Frazier pointed
out that a physician had already
donated. $100 in medical atten
tion and the club has paid a
$100 hospital bill for the injured
man.
The temporary president con
cluded by "urgently requesting"
the presidents of all Phoenix
clubs to send a representative
from their club to the August
11th meeting. "They should
come prepared with ideas and
discussion from their clubs as to
future operating policies for the
Community club," he added.
