annual dinner meeting of the Ha-
gerstown Chamber Of Commerce
held in the ballroom Of the Hotel
Alexander on Monday night, Glen
d. Johnston, vice-president of the
Chamber of Commerce Of the United
States, stated that while plans for
reforms in our federal government
are urgently needed, we should also
remember that the need for reform
in business, labor organizations, in
education, and in community devel-
opment, is just as fundamental and
as important as in government.
The speaker then added; 1--WE
should constantly ask ourselves,
What do /, a citizen Of the United

my neighbors, and my friends?"

Joseph D. Mish.
During his address, Mr.. Johnston
warned his hearers against blind
confidence in President Eisenhower.
The President, he said, can and
doubtless will, do much in settling
the great problems of the day. But
he pointed out that if all of these
problems are to be settled, the prop
or foundation must be laid in the
community level ut is we the peo-
pie" he said, you and me, who
must do these difficult things.
ut is we the people who must de-
eide whether we are going to en-
courage and aid Congress and the
Administration in their efforts to
return the nation to sound fiscal
policies and lower taxes, or to lose
by default to the spenders. Let me
emphasize that Word-default. Ed
mund Burke said, All that is neces-
sary to insure the triumph of evil is
for enough good men to do nothing
$50 one of the really big decisions
which we must make in this Year
of Decision is-Are we going to let
the laws Of supply and demand OPP
crate, or are we going to 90 yelling
for Federal Relief every time some
body's toe is stepped on?
Don't blame this on Washington,
or on Federal officials-as far as
can observe, the new appointees are
good men -- excellent men - better
men than we ever dared to hope
for-but the final decision in such
matters is not with them-it is with
the Great American Public-half Of
whom have never experienced full
ly competitive market and have new
er known other than supports and
subsidies and controls"
