Why Norwich Should Reorganize Chamber of Commerce
 BY THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE

Among the many questions asked O. the men who are promoting the expan sion and reorganization campaign of the Chamber of Commerce five seem 10 be uppermost in the minds of the citi- zens. These are:
 l. Why should Norwich have a nl0I- ern Chamber of Commerce? 2. What can modern Chamber of Commerce do?
 l g. Who is going to run the Re-organ- ized Chamber of Commerce? l f. How will the new Chamber Of | Commerce be financed?
 { 5 What about the permanenco of the reorgsnized Chamber of Commerce Members of the execL9,e committee have prepared answers to these ques- | tions and express thanks to The Bulletin for its cooperation in presenting them
 to it's readers. The first is publshed today the others will follow this week ! Why should Norwich have Cham ber of Commerce?
 Every city needs an organization o1
 this character. Every city needs an or ganization which will bring the meT
 and women together to do things tha the city needs to have done.
 This getting together stimulates dis
 cussion of the problems of the city i
 discovers things to do that nobody hat ever thought of; it puts united torc'
 behind the individual who would like t
 have things done but knows he canno
 do them alone. Discussion of city
 needs leads naturally to the finding o
 ways and means of doing things.
 This is what is meant by the crea lion of the spirit of enterprise in community A city which has once ac p1ired this spirit will not permit it t die out
 A we'll manned, well-planned Chanbe of Commerce provides the city with al organization and the machinery to n1ak
 lse of thought and energy of the citi
 Eens A disorganized factory is men [ nce to the industrial life of city. l 1 Is a liability. An unorganized comnu ] | nifty is a liability to q nation. l Every man and woman has surplu

Charles F. Wells, general chairman of
 the Chamber of Commerce Reorganiza-
 ton campaign contributed wonderfully to
 the enthusiasm and spirit already pre-
 Vailing among the public spirited citf-
 zens of Norwich, when he announced that
 the campaign committee had selected
 the following we'll known tried and true"
 citizens to head the team organization for
 the intensive four day drive for mem
 berships: For colonel, Mayor Herbert NJ. Lerou for ma iors to head the four di- visions, James L. Case, c. Edward Smith, Allyn L. Brown and Frank L. Arnold The very selection of these men points to a new era in the civic-commercial life of Norwich Each of these appoiDtees is peculiarly well qualified to grapple with | the task in hand Mayor Lerou has al- ways taken an active interest in every move affecting the city's general well 1 fare and not very. long ago was chairman i of the drive conducted by the Chamber 1 ofCommerce for new shareholders in the Norwich Building and Loan associa- 1 ton. James L. Case was prominent in all 1 the Liberty loan and Red Cross drives | during the war. He was especially sue 1 cessful at the head of the Y. NJ c. A. | drive for S15, 900 fund for a new build l ing, conducted in 1916 and as chairman l of the '. Nj C. A campaign two years | ago. He was also chairman of the 1917 Chamber of Commerce "one day. drive for three hundred members. One of the other appointees for the present drive l serving in lthe same campaign, was Al T ly L.

nslling the citizens for some service for the common good, that he is too busy with his own affairs
 The accomplishments of a well organ lzed Champer of Commerce win quickly show that man that he is not too busy with his own affairs to give a little time tnd energy to his community. He will not De long in agreeing with the man who invented the phrase: Enthusiasm 1 is contagious-let's have an epidemic l the best kind of an epidemic a city
 can have.
 Men working together every day for a l common cause learn to give
 The accomplishments of a well organ 1 ized Chamber of Commerce serves to
 a city and it's people. The storekeeper,
 he millownSE the physician and law yer even the newsboy, sense its useful ness; they know it builds up the busi- ness of the city bT making it Q better place to do business in, and it adds te
 he population by making the city a bet Ter place to live in
 Unless the business and professional
 men of today insure the prosperity and
 advancement of their city a few years
 hence, their sons and daughters will in. evitably go to those cities which offer l greater advantages. A well organized Chamber of Commerce is such insur- ) ance.
 There is a very wealthy man in De: Motles who for a long time could set no need for Chamber of Commerce
 After much effort he was induced tc . become a member. For the past foul | years he has subscribed s4.oeo annually II to it's maintenance, his reasoning being , in his own words:
 T couldn't hire the people of this r community to do for my private interes l what the Chamber of Commerce is do } ing, for any such sum as S4,e00 a year : Yet, united in the Chamber of Commerce : they have increased the value of m, t property provided for me with a con : tented lab6a supply to draw upon an,
