gram of work which will become the
goal of the Chamber, and the estab-

medium of information regarding new
projects and for the development of
new ideas.
"The election of officers will begin
with the primary election for nomina-
ton of candidates for the Board of
Directors Wednesday. 1t will be fol-
lowed by the final election which has
been set for March Is. Both of these
elections will be by secret ballot. Fol-
lowing upon the election of Directors,
they will choose their own officers
from their own number as has been
indicated by the bylaws adopted
Tuesday afternoon. There will also
be chosen by ballot, according to your
bylaws county advisory council.
an the course of a day or two the
membership will be called together in
group meetings to discuss the needs
of the community and to answer two
questions. These group meetings will
comprise about 20 persons each, Sc
lected by the equal division of the
membership roster in alphabetical or

planning and on the basis of the an
swers to these questions will be pre-
pared the program of work to be sub

final adoption. The questions will be,

Der of Commerce should undertake
first for the general welfare of the
community? Second, what do you
think the Chamber of Commerce
should undertake for the welfare of
your own business? Thus are har-
messed together the commercial, social

which are SO closely inter-related that
a progressive community must carry

A Vital Organism.
"The Membership Forum explains
itself. 1t is a vital organism of the
effective community organization such
as the Chamber of Commerce is des
tined to be. 1t will be a feeder to the
growing activities of the body. 1t will
be stimulator of thought, a medium
of expression. and the focal point of
community thinking.
"The capitalization of the thinking
of the membership will take place
through the form of committee or

the Chamber will be put in charge of
special committees comprised of per

owe cannot plan without first think
ing. 1t has been said several times
here in Americas that the primary
function of Chamber of Commerce
is that of teaching the public to think.
This may seem egotistical in its bare
statement, but inasmuch as the form
of organization which is to be set up
here in Americas and Sumter county
is to be such that it will be a matter
of teaching oneself to think, this SEEM
ing impertinence is seen to be done.
The Task AhC-4
"The task which now lies before
the Chamber is that of forming an
organization which will begin with
thinking and planning as a back
ground for all its activities. This pur-
pose will run through every step that
is taken in the organization work.
This work will divide itself into three
parts. These will be: The election

lied just at this time" said he as he
began his address. Georgia has been
little backward in all of her public
work, and through just such organiza-
tons as this is progress possible. We
are coming to development of Georgia
on large scale. Heretofore we have
been operating under an unfavorabIe
psychology. Psychology as / mean
1t here means everybody thinking the
same thing at the same time. Favor
able, psychology is that which makes
for the success of this section, this
country, or the world"
MIR, Thomas recounted history. how
the opening of the middle west de-
cades ago, and the giving of 100 acre
homesteads created a favorable psy-
ehology for the United States abroad
and brought millions of immigrants
to Settle those lands. The discovery
of gold in California in 1849 took pio-
neers there, constituting a favorable
psychology for California. SIN the
south, however, it was different" said
he. 1.-THE South was settled largely
by wealthy people from Virginia who
came in and bought huge tracts of
cheap land, cultivated part and kept
most of it for hunting preserves, and
built fine homes. Instead of tilling
the land themselves and making some
thing out of it, they left the farming
to the slaves. When the war came
along and freed the slaves all we had
left was the old aristocracy."
He called attention to another era
in the South when the lumber and tur-
pentine interests wiped out the for
ess. "Now we've got millions of acres
of cut-over land" said he, with no
agricultural development on it. say
this because the South is only in it's
infancy in agricultural development.
This is now the land of agricultural
opportunity. / am afraid our indus
trial development has been too rapid
for the agricultural development, and
our problem now is to make farm life
so attractive that the boys and girls

completion. W'tE the execution of a
few committees such as a committee

committee, there will be no star ding
committees. The tendency of stand
ing committees is to stand. A definite
task will be assigned to a committee
and it will report upon that alone and
then be discharged A given project

which, as you will note, are in them
selves a process of crystallization of
thought into action. The steps of
committee work are investigation,
planning and execution. Every pro.
ject should pass through these stages
before adoption by the Chamber. They
are educational in themselves and in
addition protect the Chamber from err
rors and mean greater and more rapid
progress for the community. These
stages might be assigned to three diff
ferent committees or the same COM
mittee can be reappointed to take
them up in order. However, only one
stage should be taken up at a time
and reported upon.
'In all that l have said l have
sought to emphasize and illustrate the
proposition with which / began, that
is: That the primary function of a
Chamber of Commerce is the teaching
of the public to think and that think
ing is the source and handspring of all
progress whether it be that of individ-
ual living, business development or
community growth"
