A large delegation from Lentdr’^.4/
will attend the meeting and pre- ‘
sent the Junior Chamber of Com-
m^ce movement t o interest
young local bum ness and civie
leaders.
Every young North Wilkesboro
, man between the ages of 21 and
36 is invited to attend the organ
ization meeting and hear th*
movement explained fully by rep
resentatives of the Lenoir group.
“Of all the organizations whjek
young men may join, there Is only
one exclusively for young men,**
M r. Broughton dee.lared her*
Saturday. “The United Stats*
Junior Chamber ot Commerce t*
unique in the organization field
because It confines active mem
bership to business and profe*-
slonal men of a restricted eg*
classification.”
“The Junior Chamber of Com^

tion for young men between
is dedicated to two purposes; (1)
Improvement and development of
the community. (2) Improvement
and development of its individual
member.'! to train them for busi
ness advancement and civic lead

In T.enoir. the Junior Cham
ber of Commerce has been one
of the cily’s most active civic
groups. The organization raised
$3,000 on one occasion to send
ihe Lenoir High School Band to
New York for North Carolina
Day at the World's Fair and In
1940 laised $2,000 to send the
liand to West I’alm Beach, Fla.,
where it won the regional-nation
al band contest with a rating of
one plus higlie.’t rating in the
entire nation for high school
hands.
It has rlso sponsored the
beautification of the .Morganton
highway by the planting of trees
and flowering shruhs at a cost
of $20,000.
.At the present time, the group
is .seeking the construction of a
modern airport for Lenoir and
the location of a state park in
Caldwell county among many
other objectives.
“The Junior Chamber of Com
