At Industrial Meeting
Group Favors Forming
Chamber Of Commerce
Enthusiasm for a county-wide
Chamber of Commerce for
Warren County Is high If pledges
made at a dinner meeting of
business and professional men
and women at the Warren
Armory on Thursday night Is
any indication.
The meeting was sponsored
by the Warren County Industrial
Commission for the purpose of
ascertaining interest In a War
ren County Chamber of Com
merce. Following a talk by
Thomas W. Willis, director,
Eastern North Carolina Region
al Research Institute of East
ern North Carolina College,
Monroe Gardner, commission
chairman, asked that every
business and professional man
and woman who believed that
such an organization Is needed
to show their hands. He then
asked that every business and
professional man present who
would be willing to Join a War
ren County Chamber of Com
merce to stand. Response to
both questions appeared to be
unanimous.
Bill Mlnette, director, War
ren County Industrial Commis
sion, who presided over the
meeting attended by 250 pro
fessional and business men and
women and their husbands and
wives, said yesterday that he
did not see a single business
or professional man or woman
falling to stand.
Willis, who was presented by
Monroe Gardner, after pointing
out some of the potentials of
Warren County and stressing
the need for developing those
potentials, discussed the value
of a Chamber of Commerce In
the development of a town or
a community, and ways In which
a Chamber could work with an
industrial commission in bring
ing new businesses into a
county.
Stating that Warren County Is
fortunate In having an industrial
engineer of the capacity of
Mlnette, he pointed out that the
Industrial director had his
hands full and needed the help
of a Chamber of Commerce.
More Is needed than Indus
trial sites to attract industries
to a community, Willis pointed
out. Attractive stores and at
tentive sales forces, clean
streets and attractive ap
proaches to'the county's town,
are needed as well as good
