They are concernedi with the overall welfare of our toyms and cities. “Business men found, however, that their problems went beyond the scope of public officials and in order to work out mutual problems and improve the gen eral business welfare, trp.de as-, sociations came into being. The Chamber of Commercf idee de-1 veloped in Europe in the 1780’s and was concerned mainly with development of commerce' and protection against heavy taxes and unjust legislation. The modern Chamber of Commerce as we know it is strictly an American development. Its suc cess in this country is. or. the fact that it fills an imnort ant place in oifr institutional structure. The modern Chamber is the epitome o's the en terprise system. It represents progress and growth. It is the agency through which man may voluntarily pool their energies to accomplish collectively' those things for the general welfare. that no individual caht accom plish alone. . “While the basic' \mjectives of a Chamber of Commerce is the development of commerce and industry, a good Chanjber is a city builder, using the wealth derived from better business to improve and develop the civic, educational and cultural facilities of the community. This in turn attracts more business' "atifl in dustry. It goes like the dhicken and the egg. If you cultivate the first, you reap the second. “I was glad to learn that President Wood and his ■ organ izing, committee sold investments in- your community when they were raising funds for the Chamber. That is as it should be. A modern Chamber of Com merce is a voluntary non-profit corporation whose stockholders are the business, professional and other community leaders who are interested in building a better town. They are- the in vestors in the tfon, whose- only -prodmt* i ter business and civ it*'improve ment. “The Chamber corporation is operated in your behalf through a board of directors who follow your wishes in laying down policies for your executive vice president to carry out. The Chamber corporation is no dif ferent from any other business enterprise. If it is well organ- ized, financed and managed its product will be a credit tq the. community. I have evetry con fidence that your Chamber cor poration will have a successful and prosperous future. “Ordinarily a Chamber of Commerce would present at the beginning of the year a./prdgram of work, or a list of specific projects to undertake. 'Since the Edenton Chamber is newly organized, there has not been time to canvass the membership and prepare such a ppifgram. Instead, after discussing, the needs of the community.'with many members, we proppse to concentrate our immediate ef forts in three principal areas: (1) industrial development, (2) tourist promotion and (3) retail and general business develop ment. “Os all the problems which face us in Edenton, none is more important than industrial developihent.

I week the definite news of the cjosing of the air base next year I has again emphasized the large ( contribution the base makes to our general welfare. This sched. uled void must be filled by in creased business as soon as pos sible. We must take every step possible to develop industry, to boost employment and increase the overall economy. “First, we must talk with our 'present industrial leaders to as- I certain whether we can assist them in any way- or render any service which will expand their business. Secondly, we must explore every lead, discuss , every possibility to seek and bring new industry to our area. Industry makes the wheels go | round and is essential to a pro- J gressive, growing community, j Since World War II communi ties over the nation have rea lized this and have gone all-1 out to attract new industry.' Competition is keen. ’’But where you have the will and the spirit of the people to attract new industry and help local industry, where you have | natural resources and labor, and i where you have an industrial development corporation to as sist local and new enterprises, you are sure to improve the sit uation with a little effort. Eden ton has all of these assets. By working together vigorously we will be able to improve our in dustrial and economic position. “Your board of directors has already approved the holding of a meeting with representatives of the state, the railroad, the power company, government of ficials and others to discuss and explore this matter. Your execu tive vice president has also been appointed assistant secretary of' the Edenton Development Cor poration to coordinate the activi ties of this organization and the Chamber of Commerce. “The board of directors has also approved placing an ad issue of the State Magazine, in cooperation with the Town of Edenton, the County Commis sioners and the Edenton De velopment Corporation. This is sue will be devoted to Chowan County and Edenton. The ad will contain statistics and data of interest to industrialists and others. Extra copies of the is sue will be available for distri bution to prospects and those wishing a complete background [ on our community. “The next area for Chamber activity is to promote greater tourist trade. We have in Eden- 1 ton one of the greatest assets to be found anywhere, that is the early history of the colony and *he important role the leaders of this community played in shaping the destiny of our state' and nation. This is a precious! treasure that can be a maim- sac- i tor in our economic well-being, j We also have in our community j some of the finest motel and ho- \ tel accommodations to be found along the eastern seaboard. These two factors are sufficient to make many other communi- j ties envious. . I “In addition, the area offers | You Are Cordially I I Invited To Our Annual I j Cotton Carnival j | Tues.

Not a chance. The cat. Prince Mickey, a Russian Blue shorthair, and his rodent pal, Mousey, arc the pets of Mrs. Evelyn Adams of New York. Strangely enough, they re friends. ‘excellent hunting and fishing, acclaimed by sportsmen every iwhere,- boating, swimming and other recreational facilities. : Properly developed and pro moted, these natural assets can become a real source of income j to our people. “The cnamber is taking the j initiative to call a meeting this; week to discuss the possibilities j of a pilgrimage or tour of i homes this spring and to explore | overall promotion ideas. There, are other activities which the) Chamber will investigate with I our members concerned to boost tourist trade in this area, and we welcome signs on our main high ways and road direction and : mileage signs. “We are also concerned with J main arterial highways which i will benefit Edenton or which will be protested if such high ways are planned to by-pass Eclenton. .Other meetings with the members concerned with tourist promotion will be'ar ranged as soon as possible. “The third principal area of j Chamber activity will be con cerned with retail merchants! and general business improve ment. The life blood of a com munity is its trading center. It does little for a community to improve industry and agriculture if its people do not have a pro gressive trading area in which to obtain the necessities for liv ing. I am pleased to iind in Edenton friendly and progres sive merchants and service os- J tablishments who operate mo-1 dern and attractive places of, business. We are also fortun- j ate to have a professional com- J munity which offers every type of service required by our peoule.” “The Chamber will plan ac tivities to imoroye general mer-} cantile business. Such items as sales and special events, park ing and traffic, employee train ing, better business practices _ and other projects will be dis-1 cussed to make it more con-1 venient and pleasant for the pub-j lie to do business in Edenton. j “Agriculture is, of course, the most important factor in our present economy. It is suffiei- i ently large to have developed its own organizations to promote its general welfare. The Chamber recognizes the interdependence of farm and city and is vitaly interested in the welfare of the farmer. We offer our faelilities and will cooperate with all of the farm organizations to the end that this area may produce 'the finest crops at the highest j values. j “All of the items discussed .here can be accomplished. Some | can be done immediately while ! others are long range. One I thing is certain, the spirit to ac- Icomp.ish worth-while projects is i here. It is the fine spirit and j willingness to pitch in and do the job that made me decide to come to Edenton. The Chamber can initiate investigations and lecpmmend projects, but it must I have the support and coopera tion of the members to put I them across. If this past week lis any indication, we have your support in large measure and by working together we will ac complish our goal. We solicit and welcome your suggestions and will turn them over to the appropriate committee for action. “President Wood will soon announce several committees to be appointed. If any member is | interested in the work of any committee, please inform Presi dent Wood or the Chamber of fice and we will be pleased to appoint you to that committee. “As soon as some of the or ganization work of the Chamber 'is ortnplelf'd, I want to get but of the office to visit you in your place of business. In the mean time, your Chamber office, its secretary, Miss Anne Harless, and your executive vice presi dent are ready at all times to ; serve you.
