pointedly illustrates the duty every
citizens owes to the local Board of
Trade or Chamber of Commerce.:
Every citizen of every communi-
ty owes his hearty support to his
commercial organization. Because
the old commercial organization may
seem to have gone to seed or because
one set Of officers or directors may
not seem to be efficient is no excuse
for standing aloof. The man outside
may be mistaken or perhaps be the
very man to correct the toruble he
complains of IL he will come in and
push instead of stand outside and
knock. The man who will not lend
his brains, his energy and some of his
money to the efforts of his fellow cit
liens in directing the constructing
forces of his community along the
course that is best for the city as a
whole Is not a useful citizen, and he
generally stays outside or resigns be-
cause he has either personal crouch
or an axe to grind. No man has the
iright to refuse his support to COM
linunity movement any more than the
community has the right to refuse its
protection to any man. The man who
obsorbs the benefits of the CONNER
cial organizations ecorts without con-
tributing thereto Is community par
asite.
A commercial organization should
in reality. as well as in theory, be the
hub around which revolve the civic
activities of the community. It is
too frequently thought that the atti
tude of the people in any given com
,munity reflects the efficiency Of the
commercial organization. That is moi
true. Just the reverse is the case
The commercial organization reflects
the aggressiveness of the people il
its community.
There is a saying that "the whistle
makes the noise but the engine pulls
the train" That smile is applica
BILE to the commercial organization
The central office can make the nOis'
and clear the way but without tn
active support OF the membership |
cannot pull the load. The CONNER
cial organization is truly an opel
forum for the discussion of all sub
iects of community interest but mor'
than that it is the engine that make
the coordinate ecorts of its individual
members real pulling force. 1t Il
through co-ordinating the efforts o
its members that such an organize
ton is to be the agency through which
the citizens can crystalline their con
structive IDEAS"
