REVIVE. CHAMBER Of COMMERCE. ACTIVITIES
WITH THE ARRIVAL of Ivan ChappeIs executive sec
rotary Of the St. Croix Chamber Of Commerce and the issu-
ance OF the first newsletter, we may look for the revival Of ac-
tivitieS bythat body. There can be no doubt that this body is
not only highly important to the economic and social welfare
of this Island, and that it has a tremendous responsibility
which when assumed, should be carried out to its fullest. II
is for this reason that we expressed satisfaction at the appoint
ment Of a full time executive secretary.
WHILE THEIOCAL Chamber is much like other typi-
cal chambers throughout the mainland, yet this one has tasks
which the others do not face. First, proof must be given that
such a body can become a permanent fmctoning group, with
its program containing followup of projects begun. And it is
only necessary to recall that more than once before were eff
forts made to revive this body, and that each fell by the way
side. This is not, however, a pessimistic view, but merely to
call attention to the. responsibility that lies ahead in trying to
make things work, and b~eneftdng from past experiences.
There can be no doubt that the officers and members have
great faith in what the future holds, and that is the reason for
this final move in bringing in a full time executive secretary.
THE CHAMBER OF Commerce will no doubt organize
its tool, which for such a body are statistics, charts, and what
not, and from these will be able to plot its course for the flu
ture. ST, Croix needs to sell itself and its products to the world.
These will in turn have to be developed to the place where
they are acceptable to the world, andpeople everywhere must
learn to want St. Croix and what it offers. The exact scheme
and pattern, and the details will have to be worked out by the
Chamber, then carried out by its new executive secretary.
Those are matters for the group itself. But where the rest of
the island comes in is that the word Of the Chamber can a-
feet us all.
A~CHALLENCE and an opportunity has come to the
Chamber and its new secretary Usedt to its fullest, it will not
elong beforethat body takesits rightful place as one Of the
most important organizations in the life Of this Island. There
is almost no limit to the good that this body can do, ranging
all the way from helping to develop the tourist to the INTO
duction of new business enterprises, There is also no limit
