of rubbing shoulders with them at the

New Iberia Chamber of Commerce
Interested i'm all the Phases of
the Welfare of Our Community
By FRANK NOEL. Manager-Secretory.

through the organized force rep
resented in your Chamber Ct
Commerce.
Another duty which is of great
importance in Chamber Of Com
merce is that it should, although
it does not always do it, bring the
City and the Parish in closer and
more friendly terms and promote
diversified farming, not only for
the benefit of the farmer but for
the consumer in the City as well.
The benefits accrued from this
phase of community life are many,
10th to the farmer and the pro-
ducer. In this connection the
writer has few words he would
like to impress upon New Iberia
merchants and that is that Par
ish Demonstration is virtually es-
sential to the welfare Of Iberia
Parish.
The Demonstration could go out
in the Parish and aid farmers m
diversified farming; show by act
ual demonstration the kind of
fertilizer to use; how best to pro
duce certain crops and how to get
the most out of little plots of
ground, and what to avoid as well.
This will result in larger and bet
ter crops.
At the present time the big
planters, those who own consld-
edable acreage, are planting only
rice and sugar cane. These two
crops are paying top figures at
the present time, but when the
price drop again to virtually
normal figures what will the small
farmer do? The answer is OBJ
vi0us so that it is up to the Cham
Der of Commerce to see that a
Parish Demonstrate is secured
for this district within the pres
ent year. For instance the New
Iberia Canning Company will soon
have its factory in operation and

lein, Dunbar and. Frick to

carry on the big task of taking
care of the many needs incident to
a community's growth, civic and
industrial development.
Let us suppose that New Iberia
should want certain legislation. A
meeting of your members IS
called and a resolution is drafted
and forwarded to the representa-
tive in the legislature, or in Con
greSs, expressing the united sentl-
ment of the community. The re-
suit is that the petition or resolu-
ton has greater weight than
would a few separate resolutions
from individuals, whom the rep
resentative often does not know.
Through the Chamber of Com
merce, which represents the whole
community, New Iberia and lberla
Parish can often secure changes
in laws, etc, as an organized body.
A few individuals could not pos
sibly have the same changes made
Your Chamber of Commerce Is
the agency through which new
people, new capital and new in
dustries are often located in the
City. Any enterprise seeking a
location in your City goes first to
your Chamber Of Commerce to Sc
cure information. statistics, etc.
regarding your City and what
support a particular industry
would be accorded in your City.
1t is clear, therefore, that the
Chamber of Commerce is the big
factor in the growth and devel-
opment of the section it serves.
Judicious community advertis-
ing is one of the vital helps to any
section. 1t is the function OF
your Chamber of Commerce to see
that the resources of the City and
fommunity are properly placed

At the request Of the New lbe-
ria weekly publications, the writer
will give his views on Chamber Of
Commerce work so that readers
may at once grasp the situation
that face the local organization
which is trying with might and
main to build New iberia into the
commercial, industrial and COM
munity center which it rightfuliy
should be.
In the first place, the question
is often asked by those who have
] not looked into the different
phases of this institution, "What
is a Chamber of Commerce? What
are its multiple duties? Wherein
will I or my concern benefit?'
In answer I will say that the
Chamber of Commerce is the
clearing house Of your civic, com
mercial and industrial activities
in the community, much of which
is often outside the jurisdiction Of
the CITY government. The Cham
Der of Commerce is the center OF
the organized business interests
of your City and exercises func-
tions as essential to the welfare
of the community as your City
government.
Every City has problems to
solve that lie outside of the func-
tions of the municipal government
and the Chamber of Commerce is
frequently, though not always,
the agency through which the
greatest movements Of a commun-
ity are initiated and carried
through to a successful termina-
fion.
Cities do not just grow they are
built. It is obvious, therefore,
that this work of City building
must have behind it intelligent d.
rection. This direction must be
the organized business and civic
sentiment Of the community. One
man or just a few men working
along these lines cannot possibly

can black berries, okra, tomatoes,
corn, etc. in season. The Parish
undoubtedly will 'be able to sup
ply this live little concern with
what it desires but there are other
concerns which are manifestlng
an interest in New Iberia. How
will they be supplied? The
answer here again is obvious.
When the new Police Jury takes
the reins in this Parish next June,
the first duty of your Chamber OF
Commerce will be to see that a
Parish Demonstration is placed IN
Iberia Parish. 1t will cost a bit
more money that was the case seV-
eral years ago but it will be money
well expended The government,
through the Louisiana State Unl-
versity, will pay 5000 per year of
this Demonstrate s salary. That
is far from sufficient and moneys
also will be needed for the upkeep
Of a motor car for this DemOnstra-
tor. The writer has been in cont
mnnicati0n with the State agent
relative to this matter and the
Chamber of Commerce should see
that real one is secured. 1t
means money, but as before
stated, money will be well ex-
pended.
This information was given to
Messrs. w. H. and H. W. Carver
of the Carver's Teche Rice Mills
and those two live brothers then
informed the writer that the firm
would give the Chamber of Com
merce the sum of $4,000 as theil
contribution for the coming fiscal
year as their portion of the
moneys needed by the Chamber
of Commerce to carry on its work
in. the community, providing, OF
course, that a Parish Demonstra
tor was actually put to work.
These brothers realize to thf
full the value of the Parish to the
City of New iberia and its indus
tries.
The Parish at this time is woe

of all the great works in which MT.

We cannot believe that they understand what they are doing. for it is certain that the normal. human mind could not deliberately intend such con- sequences.
 The campaign draws to its close. The Republicans are jubi- lantly confident, the Democrats are justly apprehensive.

 It is the greatest Presidential campaign within the memory of man; the issues are incomparably great. The future of the world. the well-being of all mankind, the deliverance of peoples and nations from the dangers that visibly be- set them-these are the issues of this contest. The cal!ous reck. lessness with which the Repubii- cans are carrying on the cam paign is amazing, 1t is appaIling.
