It is understood that this Or
ganization is temporary in its
nature, and that when the
Chamber is ready to strike out
with hands and feet there will
be a revision.
The plan is to have a secre-
tary on an adequate salary
whose sole business shall be to
push the work of the Chamber.
The Estancia Chamber of
Commerce is beginning on the
right line.
1t is needed-sorely needed,
and if it can be made to 90 on
the lines laid down, it will fill
a long felt want.
The News-Herald believes
everybody should get behind
and push. This is the way 9TH
er sections Of the country have
been developed, and those that
had the livest and most ag-
gressive Chamber of Com
merce, Commercial Club or by
whatever name called, are the
sections that have forged
ahead and are now far in the
lead Of adjacent sections with
just as good natural resources.
Almost any man who reads
this can think of instances in
point.
All the states just to the east
of us are full of towns and sur
rounding country where live
punches of men have built up
towns and communities fa1
ahead of others who were con.
tent to swim with the current
Let's get busy and make
this thing go.
