the members who make it's existence
possible any service in return for their
expenditure of time and money.
There is no argument but that a com

to be efficient and deliver the goods
it must be steered in the right direc-

"We get the industries here, the rest
is up to them; we can't make a mar

prospective industry learns that, once
here, all interest in its welfare and
future is dropped, they will locate in
