Wlier# a fellow begins to analyze j
the good things about a town or a
community, and puts them down in
black and white, he is naturally proud
to list as assets any service organi-
zations. Here we are proud to boast
that we have a very live and active
Chamber of Commerce. Such an or-
ganization is composed of the ag-
gressive business and professional
men that are willing to put time, tf-'
fort and money into building up this
community. And we do not hear of
any of the members saying, “Oh 1 t
John do it”. When they are called
on they respond. That is as it
should be. This Chamber of Com-
merce is well officered, and connect-
ed up with the United States Cham-
ber of Commerce, wanting to do ev-
ery thing in its power to not only
make this a better community, bat
a better country.
We have another service club that
has done many outstanding things,
the Cotulla Lions Club. The Cham-
ber of Commerce has a definite
sphere to work in, ar.d that leaves
many other avenues for the Lions
Club to function, and they lye func
tioning. We who live here in this
do not have to have th.

many things the Lions Club has done
recalled to our memory, but one of
the big achievements is the swim-
ming pool. Old and young enjoy
it, and visitors to our little city
have enjoyed it and marveled about
it. These Lions are not the roaring
kind, but are the doing kind. Acts
are much more impressive than
words anytime.
We are very happy to recognize
one of the most efficient organiza-
j tions in our little city in the fine j
active P. T. A. This is one organi- j
zation that works more faithfully |
and unitedly than any other. They
have their eyes open, and are al-
ways looking where they can do the I
most good, and help the most people.
We are very proud of this fine, large j
group of tireless workers.
To prove we are alive and aggress- i
ive, wanting to do everything as ef-
fieiently as possible we have the city
| manager form of government, which
j has proved so practical and helpful

most satisfactory results.
Then we must not overlook the 1
telephone system of our city. The ;
telephone company is really doing in
