"Our nation has not become great
through the laws Of Congress-" declar-
ed Mr.. Brown. 1T was the individual
effort Of the business men,"
He quoted statistics prepared I'M
der the supervision of Herbert
Hoover, showing that this nation
contains but five percent Of the pop
ulation while 1t consumes nearly
half of many of the principal COM
modities used by civilized countries
and produces on an even larger
scale.
He spoke of the satisfactions Of
life in the american homes COM
pared with those of other countries.
Part of our MISSION" said Mr..
Brown, lis to translate some Of
these satisfactions into the lives of
the one billion, seven hundred mil
lion people living outside of this
country in terms Of human happi-

He affirmed that a country is only
as big as it's community units and
the national problems are also COM

The modern Chamber of Com

SoWil co "
and the property of one Is as neces-
sary as that of the whole, because
each one is part of the unit, af-
f1rmed the speaker.
Mr.. Brown related instances Of ex-
ploitation of resources in this coun-
try that were latent for years in
stead Of producing. Some of the
things mentioned were the develop

west and the huge fig orchards Of
California.
1.-The modern Chamber Of Com

timely thing to do instead of trying
to accomplish everything at once"
declared Mr.. Brown.

Chamber of Commerce such as the
one in Waterville should look on

He spoke of the great Importance
of right thinking, saying that some
people simply think they are think

movement of the memory.
Character is the ability to do the
disagreeable, when it Is necessary"
| said Mr.. Brown, land not to do the
agreeable think when it is wrong.
Character is most necessary In bust
ness.
Chambers are today rightly CIV

other important civic activities such
as the church and school.
