Reports to Membership at Annual Meeting as
He Retires as President of Chamber; Kecounts
Advertising Movement Undertaken

: advertising has cost us to date APP
proximately 500. We have also al
vertised daily for q period OF Two
months over alton WPTF which has
cost us $472.69. Now, in addition TO
this advertising the secretary mas
written over $500 letters to farmers
in this community thanking them for
having brought their tobacco to TINS
market and inviting them to continue
to make Henderson their trading CEN
Ter. We have received publicity IN
the annual travel edition of the New
York Times as the first stop in North
Carolina and the location of the larg-
est bright leaf tobacco market on u.
S. Route 1.
Your Chamber of Commerce has
since its inception furnished those
member so interested with a weekly
court record sheet including thereon
list of new telephones installed and
the names Nf new corners to our city.
Thu - With the state high
way commission work on the Towns
Vile road was sped up and completed
by the opening of the tobacco market;
Thus, we believe, diverting to Hen
ierson much tobacco that would other
wise have gone to competing markets.
AS a result of the advertising men
,ioned above, the Chamber of Gem
merce has had over 5000 farmers ard
interested individuals visit the Char,5-
ar Of Commences headquarters in the
asst five months, and all of those have
received bill folds, ash trays, or hot
pads all advertising your city and
he tobacco market which were furn-
shed by the Chamber of Commerce;
md we further believe that as a re-
suit of this close contact, newspaper
md direct mail advertising we have
old considerably more tobacco and
lotion in Henderson than we other
wise would have. For your infOrrna-
ion further, to date we have sold
over 100000 pounds of tobacco, re-
easing in this community more than
100000. After taking into consid-
ration the short crop, am sure that
you will agree with me that this rep
'esents decided increase over our
percentage of sales last year.
All members of the Chamber of
Commerce have been furnished with
bronze plaque; these bore the in
scription stating that the approval
lard of the Chambers vigilance COM
mittee must be presented before any
solicitation for novelty advertising,
harity, or other donations would be
considered. AS result of this pla-
que alone 81 parties have been pro-
hibited or prevented from miscellane-
Gus solicitations of its members. Only
those causes which after investigation
were deemed authentic and worthy Of
support were approved by this com
nlittee of your Chamber.
For your further information, tne
Chamber Of Commerce has had print
ed attractive maps of Henderson for
distribution within and outside of the
city.
An attractive three-colored map of
Z. S. Highway Nc. 1 from Maine to
Florida through Henderson has also
been printed and is being distributed
both North and South of this city

have given you some of the high
spots of the accomplishments of your
Chamber during the past five months
since its organization. AS you know,
the Chamber was hurriedly organized
because of the urgent need for such
an organization, and it has at the
present time 108 active members.
Many Ct you have probably not been
solicited, but we feel in view of the
splendid work it has accomplished
and hopes to accomplish next year
you will find desire to join and take
part in this ccordinated effort for the
advancement of Henderson.
The New Year presents several new
projects which will soon be started
and to which your secretary will give
his full time; therefore, your interest
is desired, needed, and earnestly re-
quested.
Now, in retiring as president Of
your Chamber of Commerce, I desire
to thank each one of you for the
splendid cooperation you have given
me during my term Of office, and to
again commend Mr.. Allen, your secre-
tary, for the diligent and efficient
way in which he has served you and
ask Of you your continued interest
and support.

review of the work of the HendeT
son Chamber of Commerce IN the less
than half q year since it was organ
lied last July Is was given TO the
membership at the annual dinner
meeting last Thursday night at West
End Country Club by j. w. jenkins
as he retired as president of the body.
T. 1. Gillian was elected president
for the coming year. along with other
officers and directors, and will take
over where Mr.. Jenkins left off.
The report of the retiring president
in full, follows
During July of this year a group of
interested citizens conceived the idea
of organizing a Chamber of Com
merce in this community; commit
tee was appointed to sell member
ships and on July IS a meeting was
held at the Capitol restaurant at
which time your chamber was organ
lied a board of directors and Off
GERS were elected, who after many
conferences and interviews with pros
pective secretaries were, in my opin-
ion, very fortunate in securing the
services of Mr.. Fred NJ. Allen of
Gestonia to serve as secretary of your
organization.
Mr.. Allen has worked in a dual ca
pacity: as sales supervisor of the
Henderson tobacco market and sec
rotary of your chamber since that
time. He has performed his duties
diligently and well, and I commend
him on the services he has rendered
to your and this community.
Now, to give you a resume of what
your chamber has done: rec;te a few
of the high spots: In preparing for
the opening of the tobacco market
and cotton market we had tackled
over eight counties 1000 three coloret
signs II x SO advertising the market.
We rented space, repaired and put in
first class condition five large reflec-
tor signs located at strategic points
In this trade area; 10, 500 post cards
were mailed advertising Henderson
as trading center, and as a tobacco
and cotton market.
We have since that time advertised
in ten out-of-town newspapers, and
contracted with the Henderson Deilv
Dispatch for 500 extra papers daily
which were forwarded to people locat-
ed in this area advertising the city
and its advantages. Our newspaper

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

There is nothing new about this.
The great majority of juvenile Of
tenders come from wage earning
families. In Chicago, they were found
to be particularly frequent in famil-
les where the fathers wages were too
scanty to support the household, and
the mother had to go out to labor, too.
In one case, juvenile offenses in
one district dropped 55 per cent in a
year after the opening of a boys club;
and an inspector came around to find
out why the street lights had SO low
a mortality. But probably no other
study has been so comprehensive as
this one in New York.
"a boy" said one expert, would
usually rather do the right thing than
the wrong thing but he must do
something" And it is true.
When it became known that the
general council of the International
Federation of Trade Unions had re-
iected the application of the Russian
trade unions" for affiliation by a
vote of 16 to 4, it did not come as
a surprise to those who kept inform
ed Of the negotiations. The interna-
tional has had too much experience
with the dictatorship to permit it tc
/ do on the inside what it has beer

years capture or destroy the inter.

NEW EFFICIENCY RATING PLAN

Public employees now rate their own
efficiency on the job in Sacramento,
Calf, reports the civil service assem-
bly, of the United States and Canada.
With approval of department heads,
efficiency rating forms go first to
employees, who give themselves the
critical eye and put down their idea
Of a fair rating. Then supervisors
fill in the forms, and the department
head makes his final rating.
Purposes of the extraordinary sys-
TEN, according to the Civil Service
Assembly News Letter" are: to bring
to the attention of the employe the
fact that he is being rated, and to en-
courage him in self-analysis; to give
the superior officer opportunity to
find out the kind Of work the employe
feels he is doing; and to give the de-
partment head the employees view
point as well as the supervisors.
The Sacramento plan seems worth
consideration elsewhere. Why would
MT it be good plan to test in private
employment as well as in public
service?

LABOR RETRENCHMENT
NOT ECONOMY

When such a railroad wreck as took
place over Custer creek occurs, with
its sacrifice of life, it is usually GUS
tomary to attribute it to an act Of
God. His shoulders are broad enough
to take the blame Now such acci-
dents do not take place by God or by
chance or by any fortuitous circum-
stance whatever. They take place be-
cause of mans lack of foresight, in
spection and lack of tireless regard
for human safety.
And most Of the roads right now
are inadequately manned for proper
inspection Of right Of way and regard
for the continuous safety Of those
who travel over them.
There is no real economy in labor
retrenchment on the permanent way
-or elsewhere. (From "The Week, .

LOTTERY AND RELIEF IN
CLEVELAND

Article XIV, Section 6, Of the con.
stitution Of Ohio, says:
Lotteries, and the sale Of lottery
tickets, for any purpose whatever
shall forever be prohibited in this
state
Yet the city council Of Cleveland
Ohio, passed an ordinance to give
entertainments at the city hall, with
prizes for the lucky ticket holders.
The situation in Cleveland is terri
fe. More than 10000 families have
had no relief and no visible means oa
support. The legislature did not meet
its duty; and Cleveland is like many
other cities, its people who are best
able to bear taxes do not live inside
the city limits. No food orders have
been issued to 10000 clients for near
y two months plenty of time, one
would think, to get rational relief
bill through the legislature in special
session.
Sixty thousand families asked fol
bread; and have been offered a lot
terry.

MONOPOLY QUALITY

In the suit Of the government to
enjoin the Aluminium Co. Of America
from being an aluminium trust, evi-
dence is being produced that this
most perfect monopoly is monopolis-
tically careless with its product. viii
liam P Stout, president Of the Stout
Engineering Laboratory Of Detroit,
testified that six out of seven pieces
supplied BY the Mellon Company for
the first all-metal airplanes were 50
defective that the navy inspectors had
to reject them. George W. Hilliker,
superintendent Of the propeller divi-
sion of the Curtiss- Wright Corp, tells
Of 125 propellers from the same
source which had to be scrapped
And the Bausch Machine Tool Co.
was 50 bullied BY the Mellon crowd
that it did not dare enlarge its plant
for proper competition, a witness
charged.
