Dr. Dudley Jones, a member of the college faculty, was on the program for an address at the invtiation of the committee in charge of the evening’s pregram. Several new members were reported by the membership committee during the evening through its chainnan, L. L. Stiller, with an announcement that the membership campaign will con tinue from month to month with one hundred m^enrbers set as the goal. Harllee Bninch, second assistant postmaster general, of Washington, was heanl -with interest, “Business Conditions” lieing the subject of his address. He spoke of his plea.sure in being present and of his first visit to Clinton thirty-five years ago. “Clinton holds veiy dear ^memories to me,” he; said, “and I am always happy to conic- hack to visit the orphanage and again meet my acquaintances.” In discussing present conditions, Mr. Branch stated that the business swing continues upward and citini postal re ceipts as the liest barometer to judge conditions. A year and a half ago they were decidedly dpwnward, while today they are steadily increasing and show ing substantial gains each month, es pecially in the smaller towns and com munities, Other barometers that indi cate improved conditions, Mr. Branch stated, are steel, building activTtiee and agricultural production. The banks and freight haulings are likewise bet ter, he said, with signs throughout America indicating that the country is emerging fromt-the depression, many states reporting as already liack to normal.
