Settler e: very brief confaent v/txs
mc.dc r- .rding a speaker from the ;
Junior .Chamber of Commerce v/h'o
spoke at the Palmer Hen’s Club oh -'
March 0. —.
The iditor would have greatly
appreciated more information on the
meeting and had it 'been' turned in
at the Settler'Offifcc this mistake,
would not have been'made. As it is:
we h'rvc no paid reporters on our
small pa£»;r>.and^it is a'seumed that '
all organizations and."persons hav-'
i..g items of interest*will report
the sa: e to the Editor. However,
since the information that’the
Editormdid receive .wy.svVcry incom-'
plctc, it would have been bettor
not to’have mentioned:it at all.
'Ac would appregistO;very much
in receiving news from thoHonls '
Club .of Palmar qcoasionally and
especially whe'ij there is any
special event taking place,
Incldcntly the Editor is not a
member of the Men’s Club and has
no way of getting the nows.
