The Chamber of Commerce membership pull is slow after a week of Operation Quick with 122 volunteers adding 49 accounts worth 5 and a fifth of the 250 account goal aimed at 25 000 in new income. Executive director Jack Key notes potential to near or exceed the target despite few flat no responses while Ron Adams leads the top team with 12 new memberships and Duke Samson and Dan Hemphill tagged as majors. Colonel Gayle Dishong heads the campaign and the top earner will win an all expense paid Arlington trip with Six Flags Texas Rangers games and other attractions. A separate report: William Neil Blair, 48, held on 3000 bond in city jail for credit card forgery after forging a gasoline card at Exxon Station near U.S. 385 and Interstate 20.
