are tho distractions to the free flow
of traffic and formulate plans for the
removal of the distractions.
Industry, commerce and civics
should all have place on the pro-
gram. Careful consideration should
be given to the subject of industrial
relations, improved merchandising
methods, the bettermcnt OF living con-
ditions and to parks. Fairgrounds and
schools. We want to strive for con
tented working class, stores SO excel
lent that they will serve the trade
needs of our tributary territory and
ample school facilities. And we want
a city plan. Every city, no matter
how small it is, should have city
plan. no matter how simple it may be.
We should vision our city as we want
it to be, and with this in mind we will
be constantly striving to make the
dream come true.
AS increased production. diversified
crops and good roads mean added
prosperity to the farmer, so does in
dustrial expansion With increasing
pay rolls mean more business for the
merchant. An analysis Of the indus
trial growth Of American commum-
ties has shown that the growth has
been largely within, that is, through
the expansion Of existing industries
and through the coming in of similar
and related iduStries attracted by the
local labor market. AS industries
prosper they expand and a labor mar
ket is established that invites other
industries. Attempts to force indus.
trial expansion through advertising
campaigns and bonuses has generally
proved Ineffective. The financing Of
industry is a banking and not a COM
munity proposition. Once establish
cd. however, the industry should re-
ccivc full cooperation from the cham
Der Of commerce in bringing about
conditions making for bettcrment in
the community life Of it's employees,
such as housing, rccreational and ed
ucational facilities and cheap and adc-
Quate transportation to and from work.
Parks and Fairgrounds, school houses
and public works and utilities should
be expanded to keep pace with the
growth of industrial population and
the establishment Of new industrial
centers, and the chamber Of commerce
should be the leader in all this"
Other Fields to Work.
Other fields of activity suggested by
Mr. Brown for 4 successful chamber
of commerce include: the promotion
Of better merchandising, style shows,
pay-up campaigns, the exchange Of
credit information and salesmanship
classes for retail stores, which, he
said, arc q most important communi-
ty asset and should be so viewed by
the chamber Of commerce.
"1f you can plan" he said 80 as
to improve production even in slight
degree, better transportation facilities,
bring about better relations in indus
try, increase and improve retail trade,
stimulate your sales forces to greater
and more intelligent effort and better
living, educational and rccrcational
conditions, YOU will have taken Il part
in the national program. And we may
each do our bit working in our own
communities with the tools at our
command, always having in mind that
whatever of bettermcnt We bring to
ourselves we bring TO the nation Of
which we are a part"

WHY 4 CHAMBER or COM
MERGE

The strong understanding OF the
position chamber Of commerce oc-
cupies in the community life, the
working out of a short definite. prac-
tical program OF activities, the seec-
ton Of committeeman with q view 10
their qualifications for carrying on
the work entrusted to them and the
drawing uo and use Of a budget based
upon the work to be done, the rev
enue for which is obtained from due
paying mc!nO>ra--sJ COlvil Brown,
organization expert from the chamber
OF commerce OF the United States,
speaking at Craven Hall in Columbia
recently
Where the public has right con-
ception Of the functions OF chamber
of commerce, is in agreement with its
program Of activities and has conn
dencc in the official personnel" Mr..
Brown said, there is little difficulty
in obtaining the money necessary for
carrying On the work.
Every man who can AFFORD to pay
the dues should belong to his local
community organization. No matter
how much character man may have,
no matter how clean lie may be in his
business and private relations, no mat
ter how good a man may be, he IS not
good citizen, in the local sense at
loast, unless he does something for
thn 90
lives. There is difference between
being a good man and a good citizen,
and one OF the functions Of every
chamber Of commerce is to furnish the
people with an opportunity to express
their citizenship in constructive coun-
Gil and action for tho good Of the cont
munity
Better Market Conditions.
Your community does not end with
your municipal boundary lines. 1t cx-
tends onward and outward to cover
yonr entire retail trade territory. 1t
is the bcttemcnt Of business, living
and marketing conditions in that ter
ritory that you should have in mind.
Now anything that can be done to bet
ter such conditions in your retail
trade territory increases purchasing
power and adds to the wealth Of both
merchant and producer. 1t is doubt
ful il there Is a community anywhere
in our country that equals its bust
ness and social possibilities. The
right sort Of committees, composed of
men familiar with the territory, ought
to be able to make definite, practical,
convincing statements Of what can be
attempted, and these statements can
be made the opening gun in cam
G)aign to secure public support OF the
plans that will secure their accom-
plishment.
Another subject demanding atten-
ton Is transportation. BY this is not
meant merely the checking Of way
bills, advising as to routes of ship
ment and informing membera DE
changes in the rulings of the inter-
state commerce commission. It is
much bigger than that. 1t Is not
enough to better production; unless we
have markets and quick and easy
routes and transport to such markets
our increased production will be
largely without avail. It is the task
OF q transportation committee to study
tflhe Stransp portation situation in the re-
alts :erraory. ascertain what

 "SO he visited the bookstore and asked for the hymnals, Bibles and so forth that he would need in his new way to worship.
 "He seemed we'll enough pleased with the volumes that the salesman laid before him till he came to the Book of Common Prayer. Over this he frowned and shook his head.
 "This'll hardly dO,' he said, and he tapped the title with his forefnger. Let's have something little more select, bo.'"
