For the Good of
 the Community

first of the 9,600-ton Birmingham steel ships built by the Chickasaw com- pany at Mobile, arrived in Rotterdam, Holland, May 3Oth with cargo of Bir- mingham steel products for the Dutch market.
 The several hundreds of thousands of dollars derived from the sale of this steel has already been paid out in the wages of thousands of men,
 From these men the money has gone into the family treasury and from there to the retail stores for the purchase of the necessities, the comforts and some of the luXuries of life
 Landlords have paid taxes with it. Railroads and river barges earned the charges of transportation.
 Back at the beginning, like the "malt that lay in the House that Jack built are the coal and ore and limestone in the hills that skirt either side of Jones Valley and the fluxing material lying in between.
 From Rotterdam to Red Mountain is a far cry, but the connection is as plain as the nose on a mans face; as plain as the sheet of water with Mobile at one end and the Dutch harbor at the other; as plain as the Port of Birmingham in the heart of the steel-making district and the gulf ship yards which the ship plates reached by way of the worlds most remarkable and practical inland waterwav
 There IS nothing wrong in full recogni- rion of homemade achievement, be- cause that is convincing evidence of what one should be busy about in order to at- tam success.
 Years ago James Bowron, then treas urer of the T. c. l., said at business mems gathering:
 'They may take this and that and the other from the Birmingham district, but thank God, they cannot remove old Red Mountain"
 That is the catalogue of every achieve ment made here. All other items in the encyclopedia of Birmingham results are only emanations from the coal, the ore and the limestone.
 But this coal, ore and limestone must first be manufactured and, then, it must find markets. The wider the marketing field, the greater the amount of iron and steel products that may be disposed of and the greater the amount of money for employees, for merchants, for landlords, for the men, women and children of the community.
 The next Birmingham steel ship will take Birmingham steel shapes to the peoples most distant from us; to Japan, half way around the world
 The Birmingham man whose mind does not follow these freight leviathans on their gioHs- -encircling mission, is eating his bread without realizing where the but ter came rom
 They are our ships That is the view
