Newly elected officers acted in official capacity for the evening to conduct the meeting Routine matters of the reading the minutes and correspondence occupied a few moments following the banquet to in turn be followed by a talk by Lyman Hawken, 1938 president, of chamber accomplish ments or matters receiving their assistance during the year. In his address past president Hawken mentioned the Riverview Mile Bridge, the safety highway stripe leading through town and on the highway on both sides of the city, clean-up day, the Wolf creek cara van, and the teachers’ reception.

A ten-point program was outlined by the new president, Jewett A. Bush, to he followed during 1939 to include the furthering of live stock raising as an industry, pro motion of the. Nehalem valley for farming, seeking more development of roads, cooperation with the city cemetery committee, lower insur ance rates and the removal' of un sightly and dangerous buildings. It was mentioned further that the chamber would Mak more activity relative to the city park, co"operate with city officials, seek the naming of Arcadia park as a state park, numbering of streets and houses in the city and Riverview, and the establishment here of a small hos pital.
