One of the plans Is to have a dinner every Fall at which men of note may be invited. The organization was discussed some time ago with Governor Brum baugh by Commissioner John S.

Governor Brumbaugh, upon a number of occasions has referred to the posi tion of Pennsylvania in the nation and such a society could do much toward advancing it. The dinner plan would not only bring togther the officials, but enable men of note to address the diners. Possibly the president, cabinet officers and others in the national government, governors of other States and men of eminence would he asked to attend.
