Chamber Commerce Activities
r. w. J. Reed, president of the
Chamber of Commerce during the
past year, spoke on the activities of
the chamber From a file of letters
and kilograms he showed somewhat
the scope of public service in which
the chamber had played an imDor-
tant part.
He stressed the need for mora ac-
tive members and stated that me
little handful of men who carried
on, needed the advice and help and
support of those who failed to at
tend the meetings.
Much Accomplished
His summing up of the work ac-
compiished was a surprise to irGst
of his listeners. He did not dwell
on the disappointments, the hard
work which had been done without
results, nor the projects which
might have had a successful ending
had the chamber of commerce had
more workers.
L. F. Jackson after humorously re-
spending to the chairman's intro
duction, first pointed out the I'M
usual response of the nation to the
suggestion that President Roose-
velt's birthday be celebrated. This
is evidence, he said, 'of the popu
Iarity of the President. America is
desperately seeking a way out of
the confusion of the past two dec
AIDES. The industrial and political
leaders have been counseling us to
wait for return to normally, tell
e us that good times were just
ound the corner. These promises
.a.e Jailed to materialize. Roose-
Welt has produced action and in con-
sequence immediate enthusiasm.
New Pattern For Living
But there is a danger of deflec-
ton from the Roosevelt support
when the full scope and difficulty
of the program is discovered,
pointed out the speaker. "The New
Deal' is not designed merely to lead
us out of the depression but to es-
tablish new pattern for living un-
der modern conditions. The depres
sion is only the ultimate phase of
disordered social and industr'fl
structure, which has not yet been
adjusted to our modern poW'r
economy No prosperity can be per-
manent which does not come as
result of deep-rooted changes"
Sincerity and Courage
The New Deal, he declared, is
proceeding with sincerity, intelli-
gence and courage to set up an in
dustrial order in which the interests
of individuals and classes are sub
ordinated to the interests of the
whole. He stated that need for this
sort of reorganization of industrial
society is evidenced by the dictator
ships in Europe but the New Deal,
if it can be made to succeed will
give us the necessary results in
typically American pattern.
Support Pledged
In closing Mr.. Jackson said: "Out
of the chaos of uncertainty and in
action President Roosevelt has given
us a program distinctly Ameri
can program. Because we have faith
in the sincerity of his purpose, be-
cause we have respect for the intel
ligence with which he has formulac-
ed the plans. because, above all, we
admire the splendid courage with
which he has prosecuted the work
we, tonight pledge our whole-heart-
ed and persistent support"
At the close of Mr.. Jackson's adj
dress the tables were removed to
clear the room for dancing which
started with music furnished by
Fred Grant and Lloyd Goodrich,
saxophones, accompanied by Mrs.
Ann Dunkelberger on the piano.
Novelty dances were introduced
by a group of girls, Misses Margaret
and Carol Ferguson. Lois Wheeler,
Dorothy Voss and Marjorie Benja-
min, who danced and sang old time
waltz songs, and Miss Cherie Sor-
set and Miss Ruby Everson, in an
Apache dance, both numbers direct
