Letters To The Editor To The Editor: The Clinton Junior Chamber of Commerce wishes to express appreciation thru the *pages of The Chronicle to Fred Jacobs. John Mimnaugh, Rufus Sadler, and Ed Caviness for their time, so freely and willingly given, to organize the tennis tournament held here the last two weeks. This is the first time in almost 20 years such a tournament has been held in Clinton and its suc cess was evidenced by the 48 participants, of all ages. Their interest and enthusiasm was carried over to those enter- ,ing the matches, and the project itself provided much enjoyment for beginners as well as the ex perienced players. The tournament consisted of both single and doubles match es, necessitating lengthy plan ning and organizing, which these four so capably did, not only prio to, but during each game.
