To the Editor:
I" This is in reference to the article in
the March 29, 1970, issue of The Daily
Eagle regarding a separate Chamber of
Commerce for College Station. After re-
reading the article, I find that the "old
groups" in which the College Station
Progress Association is included refers
to the "old groups" with which the new
chamber of commerce would not be al-
lied.
The College Station Progress Asso.
ciation is made up of a number of citi-
zens who wish to promote the civic
Pride and the general well-being of the
city of College Station, its residents and
institutions.
Admittedly the association has fallen
short of its many goals. Admittedly,
also, we have been looked upon with
"suspicion" by some persons and even
by some "old groups." We regret that
we may appear sinister to anyone.
The association is a group that con-
siders College Station its hometown. We
believe with reasonable certainty that
we will live the rest of our lives here.
We are, therfore, deeply interested in
the quality of living College Station
RU offer.
As to the goals, the affiliations and
the subject matter for concern of the
association, these will be decided by its
membership or by its duly authorized
board of directors within the specifica.
tions of its charter. As individual citizens,
the members of the association will pro.
pose, choose and affiliate as they freely
may desire.
As to Mayor A A. Anderson's not be.
ing a member of the College Station
Progress Association, I personally re-
gret that he isn't. Mayor Anderson is
continually pursuing a program of Col.
lege Station betterment even broader
than the goals of the College Station
:Progress Association. He serves well
and most unselfishly in the manner he
has chosen.
