Dr. C. C. Weaver
Addresses Local
Kiwanians Friday
North Wllkesboo Kiwanls Club
held an enjoyable meeting Friday
noon at Hotel Wilkes.
Program Chairman George
Kennedy asked Rev. A. C. Wag
goner to introduce his speaker.
Dr. C. C. Weaver, of Elkin.
Dr. Weaver made a thought-
provoking talk on the subject,
"Some Citlens Our Community
Could Do Without.’’
He said good citizens back up
things, but they do not necessar
ily have to sponsor them.
Sbrne persons every communi
ty could do without are;
1. Those whio hoTsr look back
upon the deeds of the paet. A
good citizen looks back and sees
what has gone into his life from
the past. "Not everything behind
is bunk."
2. Those who feel no responsi
bility for the circumstances and
conditions that prevail in their
day. Those who would let John
do it. It is no concern of mine.
3. Those who only do “pid
dling’’ things, or things not worth
while. Some people do an excel
lent job with something that is
worthless.
4. Those who can never see
anything Vorth while to do. They
live out their little day with dis
tressing needs on every hand and
never see them. These could eas-
ly go.
"This Is such a great day In
which to live that no one has the
right to be complacent. Let us
courageously look to the tasks
that lie ahead,” he said.
Prior to the program an
nouncement was made of the
citizens’ meeting to be held Fri
day, October 12. for the purpose
of organizing a Chamber of Com
merce. The meeting will be held
in the North Wllkesboro town
hall at 7:30 p. m.
Secretary T. B. Story read a
letter from Highway Commission
er Raymond Smith relative to
highway construction planned In
Wilkes county.
Guests Friday were as follows:
Joe Howard with R. S. Gibbs, Jr.;
Rev. Grant Folmsbee with Joe
Barber; J. Henry West and O. K.
Pope with W. F. Gaddy; Rev. A.
C. Waggoner and Dr. C. C. Weav
er with George Kennedy; E. W.
Smith, of Lenoir, was a visiting
Klwanian.
Business and professional men
and other public spirited citizens
of North Wllkesboro will assem
ble Friday night, 7:30, In the
North Wllkesboro town hall to
organize a North Wllkesboro
Chamber of Commerce.
The movement to organize a
Chamber of Commerce for North
Wllkesboro has been under way
,for the past several weeks and
will be climaxed by the organiza
tion meeting Friday. Efforts will
be made to have in attendance
executives or responsible repre
sentatives of all the business
firms In the city and to have all
professional men present.
Clarence O. Kuester, executive
vice-president and business man
ager of the Charlotte Chamber of
Commerce, Roy Palmer, presi
dent of the Charlotte organiza
tion, and A1 Bechtold will be
present to assist In the organiza
tion.
It has been pointed out recent
ly that North Wllkesboro in the
past several years has lost sev
eral opporiunltles because of the
lack of a Chamber of Commerce
to represent the city’s in
terest in the field or business, es
pecially in obtaining Industries
for which the town and commu
nity Is so well suited.
