The Winslow mail., 1921-01-21
(Held from last week.)

At a meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce held Friday afternoon in the
offices of the Chamber matters of
general interest were talked over and
preparations made to conduct the at
fairs of the Chamber for 1921. Secre-
tary R. B. Walton reported on the af-
fairs that had been handled by the
Chamber during the past year. 1t was
quite significant that the Chamber
had done much good work, the activ-
tiles of the organizations being large
ly in the hands of the secretary who
had given much time and effort to
matters of general interest to the
community and tending toward the
future prOgressiveness of this sec
ton of the country, and particularly
the city of Winslow. Arrangements
were made whereby the soil survey
which was started some months ago
would shortly be taken up again and
continued through the valley. This
is to be part of the engineering re-
port on the Little Colorado river pro-
ject, the elimination of which means
more to Winslow and this section of
the country than any other thing that

There is no community that is COM
plete without an efficient chamber of
The individual may do things, but it
is the cooperative forces of such an
organization that accomplishes the
things which the individual cannot
and which are of the greatest con-
Germ and greatest benefit to all the
community. The work of the cham
Der cannot be duplicated by any indi-
vidual, hence their necessity to every
community which is looking out into
the future for a growth and for the
development of such resources as may
be present in that particular section
of the country. The building of roads
throughout the country is primarily
the result of the boosting and recon-
mendations of organizations. The
reclamation projects which have
brought wealth to Arizona and to
many people are the ultimate rewards
OF the cooperative action of such or
ganizations. Winslow is very nicely
situated in the midst of country, the
future development of which means
wealth and prosperity to it's people
as we'll as the progress and growth
of the community. The starting of
this development must come through
the activities of it's chamber of COM
merce, for they will be attained in no
other way. 1t is therefore the duty
of every citizen who is interested in
the welfare of the community and who
wants to see it grow, that he should
in manner, small or large, accord
ing to his individuality, assist in the
great work which such an organiza-
tion is doing and which it can do IL
the proper support is given it. The
public spirited citizen cannot deny his
mite or more to the appeal of this or
ganization. Greater prosperity for a
greater number is it's slogan.
