VOLUNTARY RESPONSIBILITY
A key word in this definition is voluntary. Here
are men and women who have accepted the responsi-
bilities of citizenship and who have recognized that
their country, their province, their region and their
community demand something more than mere ob-
The Town of Seaforth from the air
servance of the law. Canada depends upon strong, pro-
gressive, vital communities. Only by giving something
of themselves in time and effort can men and women
make the contribution which spells the difference be-
tween a live community and a dead one.

CHAMBER QF COMM E
"Chamber of Commerce Weee was establis 1e& tO
bring to ail. Canadians a concept the role of, the 1.
Board of Trade or Chamber At` Coiprnearge in :co m fifty
building for the national good, hero are cells 0 dem,
ocracy—independent and vigerous,biindung cit zene to-
gether to make their conununities_ better daces... m'
which to live and in which to earn a.living,, Board' and
Chambers can truly be called the'conseience. and the will
of their communities.. The conscienceto see and recog
nize the needs of the community and the will to tike
effective action. It has been well said that a Com-
munity is poor in purse and poor in purpose that hes
not a strong vital and active Board of Trade or Cham-
ber of Commerce.
11 Reasons Why I Should Be a
Member of the Chamber
of Commerce
1. Because I have a business stake in this commun-
nity which can best be safeguarded by working
with others through the Chamber of Commerce
to protect and advance all business. I help insure
this community's progress which in turn insures
the success of my business.
2. It is only fair to me to support the Chamber since
I reap benefits through the concerted planning,
counsel and action that is best obtained through
the work of the Chamber of Commerce:
3. Because I believe that the man who helps his com-
munity through active participation in the work
of his Chamber of Commerce will develop his own
powers and broaden his own views.
4. Because my support is "plowed back" to yield
many -fold benefits in new industries, ,increased
payrolls, health, safety legislation, business pro-
tection and community advancement.
5. Because through the Chamber of Commerce I can
best discharge my obligations to this community
in which I live and earn my living. I realize that
every man owes a debt to the community that can-
not be paid in taxes, a debt of personal service.
6. Because the Chamber of Commerce cannot carry
out its broad program of work to protect and ad-
vance business without personal service .and ade-
quate financial support.
7. Because the Chamber of Commerce " unifies the
public spirit of all and directs it into useful and
constructive channels.
8 Because the Chamber of Commerce helps create
and express sound opinions affecting the welfare
of Canada.
9. Because without 'a strong, effective Chamber of
Commerce we would be less able to compete with
other towns for new industries and new payrolls. .
10. Because I believe it is essential to progress to have
a central organization eternally watching com-
munity welfare and development. I believe the
Chamber of Commerce is the central organization
adequately equipped to do this work.
11. Because the most effective and constructive influ-
ence is the force of organized business functioning
through the Chamber of Commerce for the pur-
pose of improving our town. We can through
organized effort make the kind of town we de-
termine it shall be.
