AUGUSTA MERCHANT GIVES REASONS
FOR SUPPORTING CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Journal reporter in talking
over affairs Of the day with a local
business man who has been in BUSH
ness on Water street for several
years, brought up the matter of the
progress of the Chamber Of Com
merce renewal campaign as set forth
in the columns of the Journal by dis
play ads during the last few days.
This merchant stated that he felt
that there were many benefits derived
from having a Chamber Of Commerce
that were not realized by PEOPLE in
general or even by the business men
who derived the most from those
benefits.
He felt that the Chamber Of Com
merce acts as clearing house for
ideas that boost the general business
of the street; that 1t was a central
point where ideas such as Dollar
Days and Style Shows can be carried
out without the haphazard methods
used in localities where no Chamber
OF Commerce exists; that it brought
about a uniformity Of understanding
among the merchants regarding clos
ing the stores for holiday and other
observances: that the protective idea
regarding the soliciting of advertis-
ing from the merchants was a Won
derful thing for them. A committee
unknown to any except the president
and secretary is shown the project by
the secretary Of the Chamber of Com
merce, each one of the committee ap-
proves or disapproves of the matter,
then according to the majority of this
committee the project is allowed to

interested in the Crusade for Health
bcause Miss Taylor has mace
game out Of the project. Each Cru.
sader does II daily health chores.
After doing the "chores" a certain
length of time the Crusader becomes
q page, then a "Knight". later on
he becomes q "Knight Banneret" ana
still further on he Is given the rank
of knight Of the Round Table.
This phase of the work OF the
Maine Public Health Association has
so impressed the State Department
of Education that the Modern Health
Crusade is now a part of the pres.
cribed course of study In physical
education. The work Of organizing
the children, promoting the idea, dis
tributing the supplies, etc, il car
ried on by the M. p. Il. A.
The efficiency with which this
phase of the associations work is
carried on is indicated by the fact
that during the past two years Maine
is the New England state to win
national honors in this work. More
than 100000 American boys and
girls are now enrolled as Modern
Health Crusaders.

saved the merchants many times the
cost Of belonging to tho Chamber Of
Commerce, within the course Of a
year.
The Christmas celebration, tree,
hut Santa Claus, ETC., bringing out Of
town people in great numbers, to-
gether with their children, into Wa
tel street. was fostered and handled
by the Chamber Of Commerce and
this he thought was wonderful
thing for the Riddles and their pa
rents as well as a good thing for the
merchants from a business point Of
view.
This merchant seemed to feel that
the cooperative spirit which a Cham
Der of Commerce brings about ce-
ments all business men together, and
talking over their ideas they arrive at
a better understanding of the diff =
culties by which they are confronted
and misunderstood criticism can be
practically done away with.
The Chamber Of Commerce pro-
vides a place where every and all
community projects can be worked on
by full time man. paid for his time.
thereby relieving the business man
from taking time from his private
business. and allowing him his time
to devote to his own personal inter-
ests.
He cited many more cases showing
how the Chamber of Commerce was
4 help to the business men, especially
and his parting remark was "Remem-
Der. wherever there is live Cham
Der of Commerce. there is live city"
