unanimous in each case; and Mr..

unanimously:
Whereas, Mishawaka's Chamber Of
Progress, in it's preamble and declara-
tion Of purposes promulgated at the
time OF its organization recognized
the necessity for amalgamating and
welding together the live, interested
human units of the city for the pur-
pose Of promoting the best neral So
cial. economic and industrial interests
Of this community, and declared that
the essential purpose Of the existence
Of this organization was u enlist all
OF such interests comparatively tC the
end that Mishawaka should be Z city
with a message and a mission really
worth while:
And whereas. we then declared
our only motive for the attainment,
II possible, to an equal and exact jus
tice; and TO the contamination of such
a social ideal we invited the laboring
man. the lawyer, the clerk, the
liquor dealer. the minister, the en-
plOyer and the emplOye.-all ire
speCtive OF position place or politics
10 cooperate 10 such an end;
And whereas. it is admitted that
the different civic and commercial
bodies of this city are endeavoring to
perform service worth while, and
have adopted programs of work in
vOlving laudable effort and motives:
Now therefore be 1t resolved by
this organization that AIishawaka's
5. Chamber of Progress hereby declares
that il looks with sympathetic favor
upon the declarations Of any and all
SuCu oIBdUlLd lions mentioned, seek
ing and tending TO a unification of all
OF tho industrial, moral and civic
forces of the community and hereby
declare ourselves i'm favor of any
movement which viii reasonably in
sure the cooperative effort of all
such forces and organizations to the
carrying out Of the patriotic programs
now being fcstered by the several or
CARNATIONS. But we hold that an eff
fort viii be other than futile which
does not include the real spirit of uni
fication and cooperation that this or
ganization by it's preamble and decla-
ration OF purpose announced. and to
which each of the organizations men
toned profess to subscribe.
'TO the end above sought TO be
attained. we send hearty New Years
greetings. and sincerest expressions
OF good will to the MiShawaka Civics
league. the North Side Boosters club
and to the Mishawaka Business Mem
