March 3rd, 1928.

The 748th meeting of the Enterprise Club met with George A. Willson on Saturday, March 3rd, 1928.

It must have been discouraging to say the least to the host and hostess to return prematurally from Florida to prepare for the Club and then have only nine men all told respond.

Your secretary pro-tem. can only call attention to this deplorable fact that members seem to be losing their sense of social responsibility as units of the Enterprise Club.

It is beyond the perview of his office to criticize but he does hope members will take the matter seriously to heart and act accordingly.

Being a raw windy evening no walk of inspection was taken.

One thing certain those nine men did the work of twenty at the supper table. One member indulged himself to such an extent that he found he was using two napkins. And with a fair waiter to a man we surely made the most of our opportunity.

It is much easier to name those who were present than to mention the

absentees. - They were : Rust Canby, T. L. Jackson, W. W. Moore, Harwood Ownings, Francis Thomas, Frank Willson, C. L. Gilpin, Robert Chichester and Palmer Beall.

Questions:

George Willson asked the reason why his sows produced normally small litters of pigs. It was thought that they might be too fat or that the boar was not sufficiently prepotent.

Frank Wilson wants some good clever hay and his father volunteered to furnish it. He asked further about building a garage and several good methods for properly grading and retaining the floor were presented.

A committee consisting of Harry Stabler , William Moore and S. P. Thomas was named to meet with similar committee from all other reputable community organizations to formulate a plan for the creation of a cumminity council.

S. P. Thomas was advised to consult Yellott Canby and also W. F. Allen Co. as regard the best varities of Strawberries to plant. He was further told that a dug well would be much cheaper and no doubt veru satisfactory for him.

W. W. Moore spoke of the unusual winter killing of alfalfa plants this year.

Harry Stabler wants black walnuts and Robert Chichester has contracted a brand new want; Keats and turkey hens to raise pheasants - will take them straight or mixed.

Adjourned to meet with S. P. Thomas at the regular time.

Signed. Samuel P. Thomas Secretary Pro Tem.
