COMMITTEES Must Work to Certain Objects for| Which They Are Appoint- ed; Several Named at Meeting Last Night i The Casper Chamber of Commerce committee on committees, whith met last last night, selected the committee which is to have charge of the Boy Seout work in per, it was announeed | at Chamber of Commerce} lunch The commitee conststs of! Rev. Philip K. ards, chairman, Ira Wetherill, J. H. ey, Hugh Giffin, Ion C. Goodrich and Dr. J. F. Q'pon nell. The committee has been instructed to report to the board of directors by April 1. Other committees were outlined by neral_ committee, which consists rle Holmes, R, H. Nichols and L.! A. Reed of the board of directors, and M. W. Purcell, Don Lobdell and Ben} sherck of the membership, but the per- nnel has not been determined, Following the discussion of the an- nounced topic for the luncheon, John R. Kneebone explained the Chamber of Commerce plan of committee work in which a committee is appointed to ac- complish a definite object, is obliged to report prog: nd is discharged if it does not wo Care is taken to ap- point men on committees who are in- terested in the matter taken up. They must also be men of prestige and men who have a knowledge of the subject. They are directly respensible to the board, and make their reports to the board, which then takes action. Earl Holmes, president of the Cham- her of Commerce, stated that the board is making every effort to secure a man etary of the Chamber of Com- who will bé big enough to handle the big job which Casper people have laid out for the Chamber of Commerce. “We will have to pay a big salary for such a man, but we cannot afford to make the mistake of paying a small salary and putting @ mediocre man on the job,” he declared.

They are in correspondence with Denver to find out if building moyers there haye the equipment for undertaking such work. If this can be done, a high basement will be constructed under the church, which will be placed across the back of the corner lot facing on Sussex, and this will be used as church and parish house while the new church is being erected. The old church will tfen be remodled as a parish house. If it is impossible to move the brick church, the frame church and parish house building will be moved and will be made to serve the congregation un- til the new church home is completed. It had been intended to build a new rectory this summer at the new loca- tion, and work on this will be rushed, The vestry of the church consists of W. T. Evans, A. J. Cunningham, P. C.

Algeo, Lew Lincoln Highway Bulletin Fin Material for Comment in;Pio- gressive Programs Out This Way That the magnitude of Wyoming's road-building program is fast becoming realized not only by the people of Wyo- ming, but national publications thruout the country is well evidenced by the most recent issue of the Lincoln High- way Bulletin which compliments this state highly and dwells at length upon the volume and type Of construction that has been inaugurated by the state highway department. The Lincoln Highway Bulletin says in part: “In proportion to population’ the west is doing more to better highway condi- tions than is the east; this not only as a result of necessity, but because of the keen realization of the benefits of proper highways and the desire of the western states to stimulate thru travel, which will bring them new population and new wealth. “It so happens that the majority of the largest of our states of the union have the smallest populations. Large frea necessarily means vast distances to be covered and unusually long mileages of highways to be improved. Wyoming Hotbed of Good Roads Enthusiasm “Wyoming -has always been one of the states most thoroly interested in the Lincoln highway and desirous of bring- ing about its prompt improvement, The state has over 450 miles of Lincoln high- way between its borders and a total population of something less than 250,- 000. Its people are véry progressive and the state has every year spent a large per capita amount upon the improve- ment of the Lincoln way than any other state traversed. . “Wyoming is’ just entering ‘a period of development, and its progressive population knows that nothing will mean so much to the state, which con- tains a wonderland of beauty, than proper permanent roads, which would attract yearly hundreds of thousands of people to the Yellowstone National park and other. scenic spots and outdoor playgrounds within its borders. “Recently Wyoming passed a $3,000,- 000 bond issue and this, with the federal aid it will receive and the county money available, gives the state over $5,000,- 000 as a start toward systematic im- provement in 1920. “The good roads interest of the state was recently well evidenced by the in- formation of a strong Wyoming Good Roads association, representing every part of the state, with headquarters in Cheyenne. The organization will con- tinue to crystallize good roads sentiment in Wyoming and aims, with the co-op- eration of the state highway depart- ment, at concentrating as much as pos- sible of the available funds’ on the im- provement of the most important roads of the state first, including the Lincoln highway, the main east to west route, and the Yellowstone highway leading from the capitol to the Yellowstone Na- tional park.” : —_———— Rivers, who has been with the Phar y, has resign sition and will be in the emr Midwest Refin g com)éiny I of Pleasanton, Nebr., who has just pass-| ed the state board examination of phar-| macy, will be connected with the Caa- per Pharmacy.
