Chamber of Commerce
Organized At Milton
A substantial group of representa-
tives citizens of Milton, including
bankers, business leaders and pro-
fessional men, participated in the
initial step of organizing a commun-
ity Chamber of Commerce at meet
ing held in the Milton High School
Auditorium last Monday night.
The organization of Chamber OF
Commerce in Milton has been con-
templated for a considerable period
of time. The fact that this commun-
ity enjoys numerous live industries
and it's development has been SOUND
and steady, made apparent the nee
essity of having civic organization
for the purpose of furthering the
welfare and community interests.
Several outstanding public improve
ments recurring cooperate endorse
ment have recently emphasized the
necessity of such an organization.
The question of forming, Cham
ber was recently taken up with the
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Assocla-
tion. which has been in a measure
responsible for the organization Oh
a number of like bodies throughout
Del-Mar-Va, and as a result the MIL
ton meeting was called. Edwin Z.
Totten, Executive Secretary OF the
Del-Mar-Va Association, introduced
the subject, outlining briefly the gem
eraI purposes of such civic organ1-
cations and called upon Jos. F. Nc
Sweeney, of Rehoboth, former presl-
dent of the Rehoboth Chamber OF
Commerce and a leader in the work
being carried out by the Kiwan1s
Club of that community, to cite def
mite accomplishments of the organ
izations with which he is connected. |
Mr.. McSweeney gave most for
chile talk on this subject illustrated |
by concrete results obtained through |
the efforts of the Rehoboth ChamDer
and Kiwanis Club. These 1Ilustra-
tions were supplemented by a brlet
review of the outstanding activities
and community benefits secured by
Chambers of Commerce in 'otner
Del-Mar-Va towns.
w. T. Gardner, former secretary
of the Salisbury-Wicomic Chamber
of Commerce and later connected
with the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore
Association and Wilmington Cham
ber of Commerce, outlined the pro-
cedure in organization and explain
ed in detail the form Of constitution
and bylaws usually adopted by such
He presented also a
tentative program of operation,
stressing the need of Chamber ad-
herring to a constructive and active
line of procedure.
Following general discussion in
which numerous issues were men-
toned as evidence of the need OF a
Chamber of Commerce at Milton,
temporary organization was erected.
w. F. Smith was elected temporary
chairman and Sinclair c. Campbell,
temporary secretary. 1t was then
decided to appoint a committee on
for the purpose of pre-
,enting a general outline to the cit
zens of Milton as to what the Cham
Der proposed to do, and to solicit
heir active aid.
The most interesting feature in
with the appointment OF
his committee was the spontaneous
agreement of every man present to
serve on this committee, and the
chairman thereby appointed them
With ]. NJ. Lank, as chairman. Ihe
committee agreed to solicit member
ships and submit a report next Mon
