NIEL At the annual membership dinner of the Canton, Ohio, Chamber of Commerce last week the retiring pres ident declared in his address "The fi nancial subscriptions of our member 5/iip are w-e/7 in ves tec/ for the good of our city. While the dividends not al ways are returned in actual dollars and cents to each individual, the city as a whole is receiving a magnificent return on our investment, which has been reduced to the lowest possible budget consistent with our absolute needs. We need a strong active civic organization today more than in nor mal times. If ever there was need for community leadership, for co-opera tive civic endeavor and for a well supported Chamber of Commerce, that need exists today.” Substitute Salisbury for Canton and the above is equally applicable. The Salisbury Chamber of Commerce is leaving nothing undone to bridge over the fast fading depression and the ral ly to its support during the past few days of a number of those who did not sign up in the February campaign is evidence of the sentiment in Salis bury that jubes with the expression of the Canton retiring president. Read all of the following paragraphs or don’t ready any:— "It is a gloomy moment in history. Not for many years—not in the life time of most of the men who read this paper-has there been so much grave and deep apprehension; never has the future seemed so incalculable as at this time. In our own country there is universal commercial prostration and panic, and thousands of our poorest fellow citizens are turned out against the approaching winter without em ployment, and without the prospect of it. "In France, the political caldron seethes and bubbles with uncertainty; Russia hangs, as usual, like a cloud, dark and silent, upon the horizon of Europe; while all of the energes, re sources and influences of the British Empire are sorely tried, and are yet to be tried more sorely, in coping with the vast and deadly Indian insurrec tion ,and with its disturbed relations with China. "It is a solemn moment, and no man can feel an indifference (which, hap pily, no man pretends to feel) in the issue of events. Of our own troubles no man can see the end. They are, fortunately, as yet mainly commercial; and if we are only to lose money, and by painful poverty to be taught wis dom—the wisdom of honor, of faith, of sympathy and of charity no man need seriously to despair. And yet the very haste to be rich, which is the oc cason of ths widespread calamity, has also tended to destroy the moral forces with which we are to resist and subdue the calamity. "Good friends, let our conduct prove that the call comes to men who have large hearts, however narrowed their homes may be; who have open hands, however empty their purses. In time of peril we have nothing but manhood, strong in its faith in God to rely upon; and whoever shows himself a truly God-fearing man now, by helping wherever and however he can. will be blessed and beloved as a great light in darkness.” What you have just read is from an editorial that appeared in Harpers Weekly on October 10th, 1857. It tells its own tale in connection with the present economic situation. In July, 1857, conditions were normal. ' September of that year marked the be ginning of the depression. Seventeen months later, in March, 18 59, business was back to normal. Depressions have occurred many times in our history. Every one has looked back and seem ed unending. But every one has been followed by recovery and prosperity. As in 1857, as in 1873, as in 1898, as in 1920 and as in 1929 there will come the reaction and this people will be but the better for the experiences, bit ter though they may have been. The 1932 Red Cross Roll Call is on. Salisbury Chapter of the organization has been set a high quota, 1,300 mem bers, as against 700 for 1931. This is the fiftieth annual roll call of the Am erican Red Cross Society and with the greater need comes greater responsi bility and it is believed that this peo ple will measure up to what is expect ed of them. Join the Red Cross and join cheer fully. All except 50 cents of each membership, no matter how much is subscribed, whether one, five, ten or twenty-five dollars remains in the treasury of the local chapter.
