I Commerce Executives (Continued from page 1) president, Harry J. Krusz was presented with a sterling silver set in appreciation for his service .as president during the past two years. The main speaker for the ban quet meeting was Dr. Sylvester Green, Editor of the Durham Her ald, whose subject was, "An Editor Looks at Chamber of Commerce in North Carolina." Dr. Green stated that in prepar ing his talk for the occasion he had his ace reporter, Jimmy Scrib-' ble, to go out on the streets of Durham and nearby towns and find out what the people on the streets think of Chamber of Commerce. He got five very definite state ments and reactions from these interviews were as follows: 1?Just another luncheon club of so-called do-gooders 2?Protective group fcr big business interests?to restrict (a) laborers' pay?(2) good working conditions: (3) new industries. A sort of closed corporation of lo? -cal capitalists witn no sense of WET OUTSIDE? DRY INSIDE! with the amazing BENDIX automatic > Dryer No woothtr worrios! No lotf fimo!

U.S.C. of C. lobby objectives. Then Editor Green took these five things his reporters found and tested them against the truth and interpreted them for his audience, admitting truth but denying the untruth. He said, "The Chamber of Com merce ;s not just another luncheon club. It is composed of sincere I men and women who would do! good but who do not make it a professional prpcess. "The Chamber is not a protec tive closed corporation for capi talists. However, we believe in a capitalistic system, but a free en terprise system is based on that principal. The growth and per petuity cf the community looks to this system?without it we would have no community. The Cham ber does favor good working con ditions for industrial workers, but does take no part in labor and industrial Quarrels. "The Chamber does not cover up the bad faults of its communityl and show the good points only.l It sees these faults and calls at tention to them in closed meet ings and seeks ways to correct them. It is the Chamber's duty to place the good points of a com-! munity before the public. | "The fourth complaint 'Preser ver of White Supremacy'. - This is I a much larger social problem than a Chamber of Commerce can handle. There is much negro business?growing-and cooperating must be cultivated. There ought to be a way to do this without flaunting social customs or with out passing on moral issues in-' votved, the speaker stated. "Political no ? only as indivi-i duals are members of the Cham. ber of Commerce interested in politics." After all the only criterion for; judging any Chamber of Com merce is by its results for the community. Is the community better, better schools, better busi | ness, better senses of social re sponsibility, better citizens with broader concerns because of the Chamber of Commerce? These are the things on wh*ch to judge your organization. LADIES ENTERTAINED The visiting ladies were enter tained at bridge Mcnday afternoon j in the home of Mrs. T. N.
