KIWANIANS HEAR
E OF E PRESIDENT

H. A. Marks, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, told the
Kiwanis club Wednesday that his
conception of a fully functioning
organization bearing this title is
"a community at work.
This view is not held by every
body. There are some, he said VINO
think a chamber of commerce IS
In existence to build smokestacks,
that its chief purpose is to minis
ter to it's members, their selfish
and exclusive business aims -
even to see that competitive firms
are prevented from moving in.
Such an organization can not
serve its community nor promote
its interests. To fulfill its proper
destiny it must be clearing
house for all constructive city y
tivities.
He declared that the certificate
Issued TO National Air Lines did
not lust happen. 1t was the product
Of concerted. prolonged effort.
Some Of us watched the county
slowly build the Bluethenthal air
port" ne said. and perhaps we
thought the effort represented
wasted money and time. But now
we know that job is going to bear
fruit for Wilmington.
Mr.. Marks urged that a concert
ed movement be inaugurated to
promote the agriculture and live
stock industries in the Wilmington
area. He said the people of the
city have not given enough thought
and help to these sources of COM
munity prosperity. In general, he
declared, we are suffering from a
shortage of ideas.
Prior to Mr.. Marks address, DR..
E. B Turner was indicted into
membership, and two guests, H.
