We should support Highlands in all ways. We, in this editorial, desire to say a few words in-praise, and worthy praise, for your secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Reverend Frank Blor ham has done a big job of it in promoting the welfare of this community all over our country; at no material cost to the local or ganization and WITHOUT PAY. How many secretaries of Cham bers of Commerce over the coun try are able to secure a worthy secretary and big booster for Highlands, at no salary? We have traveled extensively over the coun try, and in no other place have we found where a secretary does so much for a community for so little personal gain. This editorial is intended to be an eulogy for this man. It is in tended to awaken the spirit of the people to the realization of what Mr. Bloxham has dime for High lands. It is intended to ask the community to extend to him a ris ing vote of thanks for all that he has done for Highlands; done in a cheerful manner; and not only what he has "’one, but how he has taken the entire load on !his shoul ders. We were asked recently if the Highlands Chamber of Com merce was a three or more man institution. It is our belief that the organization, as far as tlhe work is concerned, is a one-man insti tution, and Mr. Bloxham is IT. We believe in the Chamber of Comiherce. We believe in our local merchants; and we ask that you support that branch of civic wel fare; and give your secretary a “break.” HIGHLAND-er-er _x.
