The dandruff could be seen very plainly in my hair and also on my coat collar. It causod my head to get itchy. The itching and burning 4 ecaused scratching and left sores on my head. I lost much sleep through the night. Every time I combed my bair lots of hair would fall out. “1 tried and two other remedies ‘without success. I suffered almost two years until I used Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment. Then I got a sample of Cuticura Bo.p and Ofntment and I was relieved a » lttle bit.

All Salute I'lag. Two silken American flags decorated the president’s desk at the meeting lust evening and as the members came In singly and in couples they were laughingly ordered to salute the flag, Judge B. ¥. Gaffney being the official ipatriotic instrnctor. Needless to say all saluted the colors with feeling. Iowever, all war talk ceased when Fresident Andrews called the meeting to order. Treasurer Willlam J. Dunlay, in making his monthly report, showed receipts of $568.32 and disbursements | of $104.74, leaving a balance on hand for the month of $468.59. Free Theater Tickets. An offer from the National Amuse- ment Coupon bureau was read by President Andrews stating that if the merchants would take over their plan their business would increase many told. The plan was for the merchants, at a low cost to themselves, to give coupons with each dollar's worth of | trade, these coupons being redeemable &t the theaters for admission. It was reported that the local theaters were not in favor of the scheme and neither were the business men. This being the only business on the table the next in order of events was the reading of the annual reports of the officers. President Andrews’ re- port was the first one presented aml is herewith given: Second Annual Report. “It is my pleasant duty to render to this association my second annual re- port and it is a pleasure to present | to you matters in which we, as an or- ; ganization, are interested, and these in the main have been handled luo(‘e:-sfull", for which due credit should beigiven to the various com- | mittees who have had charge of the work during the year just closed. | Success in any undertaking can alone | be accomplished by the united.efforts of all working in, unison for a fixed purpose. “Your organization voted to give an | exhibition of fireworks on the even- ing of July fourth on Walnut Hill 1ark. . The necessary committees were appointed to have charge of the work. These committees did excellent service, as the exhibition proved very successful and entertaining to our citizens who were present in large | numbers. Money spent by our mer- ; chants in giving pleasure to so many, is an object worth while, as from this we think better of our city, and the organization that made it possible. “Our annual sheep bake at Lake Compounce was held with the Meri- den Businéss Men's assoclation joining with us. This.made a pleasant even- ing and the occasion was considered a. success, both as to attendance and sociability. Excellent speeches were theard from members of both assocla- i Our annual banquet was held the 17th of February. Members and friends enjoyed one of the best spreads ever prepared for us by Caterer Walsh. Some of the new features furnished by the banquet committee were enjoyed by all pres- ent, It was '‘New Britain Night' with good speeches by New Britain"men. “The annual meeting of the State sssociation wag held in Meriden at the Colonial hall, October 16. The dele- gates appointed to attend this meeting responded to the call, and Afittingly represented your association, “Four of our members attended the, National Rivers and Harbors gress in Washington in December. Only One Failure. “One matter that has been. taken up during the year by this associa- tion, I am obliged to report, has not been brought to a successful termina- tion, this is in regard to the letter drops at our post office. Early In the year a communication was re- ceived from one of our members, call- ing our attention to the above sub- ject, which was referred to our board of directors, and your president was authorized to take the necessary steps to try and remedy the trouble, which was on account of their inconvenient location. The matter was referred to Postmaster Hicks asking for his help, with the understanding that he forward the communication to the post office officials at Washington. Considerable correspondence during the year has passed between your as- sociation, Postmaster Hicks and the government officials at Washington. Congressman Lonergan was appealed to, and we have had numerous letters from him on the subject, It ap- pears now very much as though we were not to be granted the request asked for, but instead the post office officials at Washington are of the opinion that signs placed in the cor- ridor directing patrons to the pres- ent drops, will be sufficient. Your directors do not consider this a proper remedy for the trouble, and [ would recommend that the matter be continued by my successor and that you give.him your support. I trust that he may be more successful in bringing about the necessary change, con- Britain | be made up of not less than six ! that | ) | J. R. ANDREWS. —_———— “One subject that has occupied considerable of our time during the year, has been along the line of broader work than the association :has in the past undertaken, looking | towards the evolution of the New i Britain Business Men's association into la larger field of activity. Numer- | ous meetings have been held by your i directors and assoclation membérs, and the question has = been pretty thoroughly discussed. Early in the fall your president was authorized by {vote of thg assoclation, to appoint a committee to consider the advisa- bility of such a change; this. commit- tee held several meetings and later on made a full report to the asso- { clation, and it was voted to continue the committee giving them power to make the necessary changes that would be required for this broader | work. It is expected that this com- i mittee will make a report tonight so i that we may know whether the New i Britain Business Men's association ! will continue as in the past, or that we may become part ef the New Britain Chamber of Commerce. Favors Graded Dues. | Your committee has voted to es- tablisn individual memberships, witn ia minimum of $6 and maximum of $26 for annual dues. It may be | well to keep the minimum dues ut $6 for individual members, with the ; idea of making the meémbership of the | organization as large as possible, but |1 am strongly in favor of a sraded {schedule of dues, with firm member- ' ships as well as individuals, and that ftha board of directors shall have | power to . grade memberships accord, ing to thelr “financial standing and ‘buslness, and to fix the amounts of . the annual dues foi each class of | membership. “Théfe are many mer- cantile and manufacturing concerns that should become members of tais organization and be willing to con- | tribute towards its success finan- ! clally. When an organization such ‘as ours co-operates with the active thinking and progressive elements of the community for industrial develop- ment, and also recognizes civic bet- terment through any and all agencles, its usefulness may be greatly extend- ed. “We are all working in a common cause. Let no one falter or loose the step. Forward, march.” Assoclation Flas 305 Members. Secretary Willlam H. Crowell gave his report next, stating that during the past year there have been seven regular meetings with an average at- tendance of twenty-three, and nine di- rectors’ meetings with an average at- tendance of ten, Last year there were 819 members to the association, he reported, and added that since then twenty-three have been dropped for non-payment of dues, four have moved out of town, two have died and eleven have resigned. During this same period, however, there have been twenty-six new members taken in, so that today there are 305 mem- bers, although forty-three are behind in their dues.

Committee’s Final Report. Under the head of new business C. J. White, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce reorganization commit- tee, made his final report for the committee. He told of the wonk done by the committee and said that to his disappointment it has proven unwise to have the maximum mem- bership fee of $26 and the minimum fee of $6. He said that when he first argued for that plan he thought hav- ing but one grade would approach the ideal but since then he has found that a human eclement has crept in and where it is easier for men to sign a large check for a large corporation it is often hard for them to sign a smaller one for themselves. Mr. ‘White thinks that a graded member- ship will be necessary in the future. Speaking for the membership com- mittees he sald that the mercantile | committeée has reported generous membership fees, the clvic commit- tee has done as well as can be ex- 'pected, but the'manufacturing com- mittee has been slow in getting re- turns. He declared that he knows all of the large corporations are willing to join and subscribe but are not, at present anyway, willing to offer their services as they are too busy to do any civic work. In this connection Mr. White warned the members that for a time, until the new organiza- tion gets to running smoothly, much of the work will have to be done by those men who are interesting them- selves in its development now, Can Get $5,000. Chairman White has recelved up to date, in excess of the present mem- bership of the Business Men's as- soclation, about $1,200, making about $2,600 in sight and this added to the $600 in the treasury will bring = the total up to about $3,000. The other $2,000 that will be necessary for the first year's work will not be hard to raise, Mr. White thinks. Opposed to Giving Funds. A letter was read from ex-President A. Howard Abbe, in which he pledged his support to any measures deemed wigse by the association, but stated that in his opinion he did not think it right that the money in the Busi- ness Men's assoclation treasury should be turned into the general fund of the Chamber of Commerce. On the other hand he thought this should be kept separate for the use of the merchants’ department, to which most of the Business Men's association members will belong and be the more deeply Interested in. In replying to this letter President Andrews sald he thought the old as- sociation should give its money as | well as its blessing, and thought that Mr. Abbe would be of the same opinion if he were present. Resolutions Adopted. Mr. White then read the following resolutions which were adopted: “Whereas a notice In writing was | submitted to the board of directors more than six weeks prior to the annual meeting of the New Britain Business Men’s assoclation held in | 1914, giving notice that the name of | the New Britain Business Men's as-| soclation was to be changed to the New Britain Chamber of Commerce and that the purpose and scope of the association should be enlarged R A A FANCY Bluetish, Lobsters, Halibut, Mackerel, Oysters, Cod. ALL KINDS SHELL FISH. and broadened by granting three de- partments, civic, commercial manufacturing, therefore be it “Resolved:—That the board of di- rectors of the New Britain Business association, be and they hereby are authorized and empowered to take all necessary steps, in accordance with a statute, in a such case made, to change the name of the New Brit- ain Business Men's association to the New Britain Chamber of Commerce and be it therefore “Resolved:—That the board of di- rectors of the New Britain Busjness Men’s association be and they are hereby authorized and empowered to take all necessary measures to amend the charter and certificate of the or- ganization of the New Britain Business Men’s association so as to enlarge the purposes and scope of the organiza- tion as proposed in a resolution adopted at a meeting of the New Britain Business Men's association on the twelfth day, of December, 1913, and to this end they are further au- thorized and empowered to fille all certificates of amendment that may be necessary in accordance with the statute in such case provided.” Hot Argument Ensues. At about this time a hot argument ensued as to whether or not a com- mittee, which Mr. White moved to have the chair appoint, should have the power to hire a permanent sec- retary. For expediency's sake Mr. White thought a committee of three, with President Andrews as one, would be able to get a satisfactory man. Judge Gaffney thought that would be irregular and proposed that the prospective secretary be brought before the meeting before being hired. T. W. O'Connor was of the same opinion as Mr. White while J. T. 0O’Connor sided with the judge. T. W. and J, T. O’Connor then had a slight argument which ended by J. T. O'Con- nor shouting “stand up” to T, W. O’Connor when he was making his reply. After several others had en- and tered into the argument 8. H- Holmes, ; in the role of mediator, .offered a new motion, which was passed, authoriz- ing the committee to recommend a secretary, subject to the approval of the board of directors who shall be elected at the next meeting. He also made the motion authorizing the president to appoint a nominating and organization committee, of not less than six, with C. J. White as one, Few Suggestions Made. Speaking as an individual, and not voicing the views of his committee, Mr. White made a few suggestions that he thinks will be necessary in revising the by-laws. One was that there shall be twenty-four directors, cight from each division; another was that the chairman of each division shall be one of the vice presidents; another was that there shall be an executive committee to map out work; another was that the duties of the secretary be enlarged and the fees changed; and still another was that he did not think a civic department, with a separate head would be nec- essary. This caused some mystifica- tion until F. H. Johnston made an inquiry after which Mr. White re- plied that his ldea was to have mem- bers of each committee have a joint view to civic betterment. Later it was brought out that the anizas- tion committee will look after such matters, Before the meeting adjourned it was voted to call the,new applicants | into conference at the next meeting.
