point out certain obvious facts.

After the membership campaign not

chosen, the members will again be
called upon to answer the question,
What is the Chamber of COM

when each member of the cham

this question, the membership as a

Out OF the program of work will
come carefully defined specific tasks
Ter the committees to do. There Will
be no standing committees and no
waiting committees. Each assign
ment that is given to a committee
viii be explicit In directing what is
to be done, and when, and It IS the
business Of the manager of the re-
organized chamber, of the president,
and Of the board of directors to see
that the committees keep steadily on
their jobs.
'The only way to insure the per-
manence Of voluntary organization
of men Is to keep them busy and
interested. When a man has served
on a committee or accomplished
some specific service for the COM
munity he is proud of 1t. He be-
comes an interested and legal
member, ready to respond to any call
that comes to him. A man working
on a committee for some particular
purpose is brought into intimate
touch with associated problems of the
community that demand attention;
so that no man can work in a
Chamber of Commerce without gain
ing a wider vision of the city's needs
and constantly growing interest and
loyalty to the larger purpose OF the
organization of which he Is a
member.
The ways and means that have
been discovered to make effective the
volurt7ry service OF q large group
OF c.Li1ens are the result OF long
study and experience.
These are the plans that make the
chamber permanent. These are the
plans that will govern the modern
chamber which Perth Amboy will
have at the conclusion of the cam
paign."
