Commences statewide membership
campaign.
In a special meeting summoned
by its president, Wilson Sockrider,
the Milford group authorized its
secretary, former senator Robert
Fl. Yerkes, to contact the u. S.
Chamber of Commerce, and see if
something can be done TO stop ,the
Delaware Chamber from ''infring-
ing" on the jurisdiction of down.

1t also asked the secretary, Mr..
Yerkes. to see if the u. S. Chamber
could do anything to stop the
statewide membership drive launch
ed Mcaday of this week by the Del
aware Chamber, which is centered
in Wilmington. 1t was pointed out
that the apparent main piece de
resistance" of the so-called kick
off meeting to secure LOCO mem
bers downstate, was the announce
ment of a new industry for Will
mington.
Said Mr.. Yerkes: MANY of our
members are greatly incensed
about this thing. We feel the name

lis a misnomer and misleading.
I'VE do not have any record of
any occasion where our group or
any other downstate chamber has
received aid or assistance from
this so-called Delaware group" 1t
was further pointed out at the
meeting that industry attracted TO
Milford in recent years was brought
about through the efforts of the
Milford Chamber of Commerce and
two cases were cited to prove this
point, namely Lady Linda Covers
large and expanding sewing fac
tory, and The Mil-Del Corporation
manufactures of overhead doors
which concern is also expanding.
He called the membership cam

Mr.. Yerkes said the Milford
Chamber has 8S members; Doves
has lis.
In protesting the membership
drive, the Milford group joined the
Dover Chamber of Commerce, which
took its stand last week. The Do
yer group, however, did not threat.
an to carry it's complaints to the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce.
Foremost in the minds of Mil.
