Suggestions of Work Committee Are Endorsed. The July dinner-meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held Tuesday evening in the college din ing hall with President R. S. Tru- luck presiding. The ciub had as its guest speaker Opie L. Shelton, manager of the Spartanburg chamber of commerce, who was given the Freedom Founda tion’s award the past year in recog- ...tion of his ability. Mr. Shelton spoke on the place and importance of a Chamber of Com merce in the life of a city. Individ uals are interested in promoting the interests of their communities, he 1 said, when they see others helping 1 and rallying to their support. There must be grouping to accomplish ob jectives, and the chamber of com merce is a direct reflection of indi viduals and the community. A chamber of commerce must be elert and active in community build ing, and this requires money. Mi. Shelton said. A city can be the mas ter of its own destiny, whether it goes forward or backward. He em phasized the importance of putting down in black and white what an organiMtion intends to do, and then secure the united efforts of commit tees to reach the set goals. A cham- mer of commerce must be ambitious, he said, and interested in all phases of the city*a life. The goal must be mutual community development, and this can be accomplished through the officers of the organization plus good followers and leaders. To make your town a better town is your Job, he said, and it is important that busi ness men do a well balanced Job. What is accomplished by your or ganization, he said, depends on the united effort of all. Following Mr. Shelton's practical address on chamber of commerce work, he held a forum with the di rectors in which he gave valuable assistance and suggestions, and out lined the broad plan of procedure followed by the Spartanburg organi zation he heads. Suggestions Adapted Hugh S. Jacobs, chairman of the organization's program of work com mittee. reported a list of selected suggestions for the club to consider which were recently mailed to the board of directors. For the committee he recommended as permanent pro jects to work for: The city’s advantages to be pre sented prospective new industries; a committee to help the city’s institu tions when called upon; park and recreation grounds for youth and adults, city publicity, and improved transportations facilities. The committee suggested also a Negro rest room In the city, a quick er follow-up on city water and light complaints, a rest room and ade quate facilities for rural residents shopping in the city, and other help ful suggestions. The recommenda tions as submitted were approved by the body. Colored Woman Gives Birth To Triplets Triplets, Linda, Mendel and Bren da, were born to Hattie Mae Gil liam, colored, at the Blalock clinic on July 7th. They are now living in an incubator at the clinic, and re ported getting along fine. The children’s father, Roy Gilliam, is employed here by the C. N. & L. railway. Their mother is a former school teacher, and there are two other children in the family. Much interest has been shown in the triplets with many, white and colored, calling at the hospital to see them. The Blalock clinic reported this is the first triple birth there, and so far as could 'be ascertained, is the first in Clinton. READ THE CHRONICLE ADVERTISEMENTS REGULARLY EACH WEEK It will puy you.

BE WISE— READ THE ADS CLINTON INCREASES TOP LEAD IN CAROLINA LOOP ♦ By DONNY WILDER The Clinton Cavaliers maintained their first place standing in the Cen tral Carolina league and moved one more game upward on the second place Joanna Hornets Tuesday night as they blanked the rivals 10 to 0. This pulls Clinton above the Hornets by three and a half games. Ware Shoals had been breathing down the Hornets’ neck from their third place spot in the league standings but were routed by the cellar dwelling Watts Warriors 3-1. Watts won this game for Roy Peel er, who was holding the reins for the first time as manager of the last- place squad. Peeler replaced Loyd Moore, who is generally a topnotch second baseman, but has been out for most of the season with a brok en arm. Peeler is a player-manager and is usually roaming the outfield when not called upon to deliver mound duties. Joanna felt the loss of their one- two hitting punch last week when • first baseman Jake Daniels left to ! mana'ge a club in Anderson, Ala., and their stalwart and slugging right fielder, Babe Ellis, has been hitting only pillows since he was taken ill last week. Big Jake Daniels was hitting a lusty .415 when he left the Joannians for greener pastures. Clinton Blanks Joanna, 10-0 The Clinton Cavaliers hit power fully and with prowess Tuesday 1 night as they greeted a new addition to the Joanna mound toilers. Miller Shealy, with a barrage -of 13 hits. Clinton’s Roy Whittaker was very stingy with his hits and gave up I only four over the road to shutting out the tough Hornets. Mickey Livingston, who was tak ing a lot of riding from the Joanna stands, set the spark to the Clinton explosion in the third inning when i he hit a home run not only out of the park but over the high flood lights of the Cavalier stadium. Pra ter, Huffstetler, and Mish hit safely after Livingston's circuit clout and accounted for three more runs in the thriving third. Pete Mish hit his first home run of the night in the sixth to add an other run to Clinton’s collection, and A rave llo scored when Blackstock drove a healthy single to center field and then had the ball errored. However, Mish wasn’t through dropping balls into the graveyard next to the ball park and seemed to be out to prove that Crocker was wrong in dropping him from fourth place to seventh in the batting order. Persistent Pete unloaded two men from the bases in the seventh with his second round trip smash of the night. All told Mr. Mish batted in six of Clinton’s ten runs. Big Guy Prater tallied CUnton’a last run in the eighth after he had singled and moved to third on a se ries of plays and then touched home on a long fly ball to the ounter edges of the outfield. Livingston, Prater, and Mish were the big boys to beat for the night as all three pounded three hits off new comer Shealy. Shealy was as wild as the well | known “buck” but he sat down seven I on strikeouts. He gave seven Cava- i liers free passes to first base via 1 walks. Whittaker didn’t have Shea- ly’s fortune in striking out only six, but Roy issued no base on balls. Whittaker gave up only four hits,, but left fielder Marsh collected half of these in four times at bat. Mana ger Dan Kirby connected with Jo anna’s hardest blow in the eighth inning when he lashed out a double, but “Dangerous Dan” was left on second by his men. Louie Lyles and Frankie Aravelo j were the only Cavaliers to go hitless for the night and it seemed that Shealy just had their number. Mackey Livingston was given cred it for batting in two Cavalier runs while Huffstetler and Lyles split the remaining two. Five errors were committed before the sparse crowd of 1,200 people. Joanna bungled three plays and Clinton muffed two perfect chances. Tony Mazurek errored two bails from his center field position and Marion misjudged a ball at short stop. Lyles and Harbin did all of Clinton’s erroring with one apiece. High School Football Practice Starts August 15 The grid gladiators at Clinton high school will begin working out Aug ust 15 under Coach Wilmot Shealy and the newly appointed assistant coach, Charles “Choc” Burnett. The Red Devils should have about five returning lettermen next year. Clinton, S.
