We feel that the citizens of Booue do not realize what their cnamoer ot Commence means to tiie toiward p>ogiess of our com munity, UiereiOie, until the drive gels under way, we are going to do our bcsl to leu of some ol uie rea sons you should support the Chamber of commerce and Mcr cnauts Association. A community is a place for earn ing a living, it giows or decreases pumariiy because of job oppor tunities. A large factor in the financial success ot a business or a profes sional man is whether the com munity in which he is located is growing or decreasing in size. 'Iherelore, the number of job op portunities in the community will have a major bearing in success or failure. There are good, and active Chamber of Commerce that do effective work in helping to create new job opportunities. There are also poor, inactive Chambers that do not get much done. The differ ence in the excellence of the per formance of the Chamber of Com merce is determind by the amount of active support in manpower and money supplied to it by the business and professional people of the community. A Chamber of Commerce has on ly two assets of resource* with wtuca to perioral its function. One is manpower and tne outer is money, ('radically every Business and prolessionai man wants a dynamic and aggressive Chamber ut twnmci c? lor his community. He does not always lealiie tnat ne makes the decision on how aggres sive his Chamber of Commerce will be whw he makes the deci sion on It.v much money he will invest' in uie Chamoer s program. It he makes a large investment, ne will get a dynamic organization and a larger return. If he makes a small investment, he will get the reverse. Kemember, there are several ways to create joos ? not industries only, but the betterment of the en ure community. Development ol our recreation and tourist oppor t unities. Bring more people into our community to retire, urge out siders to build retirement homes, support all organizations which at tract thousands of tourist. Sell your community to the outside. This all takes money. It's not suf ficient to say, "I live in the most beautiful, restful and healthy com munity 1 know#of." Where job opportunities come from and how a dynamic Chamber of Commerce can help to create these job opportunities will be discussed in the next issue. For 106041, the total supply of upland cotton is estimated at al most 22 million bales, more than three million above the normal supply. RE A Workshop Held at UNC Lenoir, Jan 7?
