tBy George W. Dudderar. Secretary

(By George w.. Dudderar, Secretary
Of the Board of Trade)
Introduce me to the board of trade
and will tell you what kind Of a
town you have. That was the sur
prising statement made recently by a
prominent student OF the community
life. In reality 1t was only strik-
ing way Of saying what has become
recognized by men whose life is de-
voted to comparing community con-
ditions in various towns and ocm-
munities of the country.
1t is the recognition Of the vital
truth contained in that statement.
Conscious or unconscious, that has
led to such marked advance along
commercial organization lines. The
organization may be chamber Of
commerce, q board of trade or an i'm
provement association, but by what
ever name 1t is known. 1t tells the
story of the presence or absence Of
the Community spirit" previously re-
ferred to in proportion to the interest
and support 1t is receiving from the
citizens Of the community. No or
ganization is of value to a commun-
ity where 1t merely exists in name
only. 1t must have the hearty sup
ton Of the membership and the mem
bership must include the men in the
community whose interests are bound
up in II and who have influence
among their fellowmen.
What can we all do working to-
gether to advance the interests OF
Clarksburg? Community organization
is not matter of sentiment. 1t is
