PICK ANY meeting Of any cham
Der Of commerce anywhere in the
Valley and one will find similar
optimism.
Just as in this case, there will
be many things discussed and acted
upon, for the advancement OF the
town.
A chamber Of commerce cannot
always put into immediate effect
all OF the things that it has under
consideration.
Usually undertakings are in the
formative stage long before they are
realized.
Let's cooperate with our cham
bers OF commerce here in the Val
Lev. They need at least the moral
support of all citizens.
Remember that these men who di-
rect these chambers are just as
much interested in the success of all
undertakings as are the citizens
themselves.
Usually their reward is criticism.
II should never be 50.

approaching game.

the year for this section.
3xnd the event promises to draw a
record-breaking football crowd for
this section.
