A group named The Inter-Club Council will be formed Saturday with Pecos chamber of commerce help. Representatives from clubs and civic groups will meet at the community center banquet room to decide the council’s form and aims to improve racial relations and harmony.

Beauchamp, temporary chamber chairman, emphasizes it is not a chamber group but will receive support. The meeting is at 6:30 p.m. Saturday as organizers hope the effort becomes a powerful local force.
