MAKE THE .CHAMBER SUCCESSFUL!
.There are many ether projects which, the Vier-
Phante Committee of the Chamber can under-
take, Clinton Dollar Days were once very stic-
oessful-they .could be again, with the Support
of all merchants. in the Idea. Other neighbour-
ing tc*.es sponsor regular promotions of the
business district, by way of sales stunts, or spec,
lel events. Clinton has been rather backward
about .these things during the past few yearS,
Our town needs an active group of progressive
merchants who will make use of unity to pro-
mote Clinton, and themselves.
The Chamber of Commerce also prevides the
framework for an active industrial promotions
committee. Through this organization contacts
CAA be made with industry, and promotion of
the town's- advantages to industrial concerns
may be made. The Chamber provides the ideal
method for the ordinary man who is interested
in these things, to get to work and contribute
his time and ideas. co-operatively with the cOUn-
cillors, who perhaps may find themselves busy
with a number of other things to the extent that
industrial promotion gets short shrift,
., These thee, are some of the things with
which the Chamber interests itself, Your menr-
berehip in -the Chamber shows your interest in
the progress of your town, and your support of
the projects which Clinton people are working
far. Make the Chamber yours in 1956 by join-
ing, and taking, an active part in the work.
EVERY PERSON AN AMBASSADOR
ON MONDAY A. combined effort will get
under way to svvell the membership in, the Clin-
ton and District Chamber of Commerce to .a
respectable level, At one time- about six years
ago, there were over a hundred members in this
.Organization. There pallid easily be over a
hundred members again.
In fact, to accomplish even a part of - the
undertakings which the Chamber official* have
bad in mind, will take all of those hundred
members and more-if membership fees are the
only. 'Maris of attracting Tetley.
Under. consideratiornhave been an increased
.umber- of coloured lights in the business district..
aifere than a year ago, four strings were erected
at the main intersection, The intention has been
to have more of these put in. Also in the back
of the minds of many Chamber directors is the
need for street signs on all streets in town, and
• also for numbers on all hou,ses, with a complete
professional numbering system. The only reason
this hes remained at the back of their minds is
the lack of funds for the project. More mem-
bore would help produce these funds.
Also, the Chamber has currently been spon-
soring the Appreciation Day event being held by
Clinton Merchants every Saturday afternoon.
This has roused a good deal of interest in Cline
ton throughout the county, and crowds of up-
wards of 500 people throng around Library Park
each week. This has been good for business.

"EVERYONE IN Clinton should be a per-
sonal salesman for the town." Why? Because
(es has been expressed- in many a public meet-
ing) the RCAF Station Clinton is one of the
town's greatest assets!
If this is 'true-and we can hardly doubt
it-then the contacts which Clinton people
make with these young people have a far-reach-
ing effect clear across the Dominion of Canada. •
Sometlinee we hear the young airmen and
their wives complaining about the lack of things
to do in town. They complain bout the lack of
good housing which they have found most evident
in some cases. They complain about the high
cost of living, and they complain about taxess, and
sewage and water supply.
Some of these complaints are legitimate.
However, we strongly feel that it is the- new-
comers to our town who complain the loudest.
They are dropped into our town with the great
problem of finding a place to live. They find no
organization ready to take over their problem,
not even to providing a list of possible boarding
houses, So they go to the Town- Clerk, who is
a busy man, and who does his best. Then they
come to the newspaper office, and we here, who
also are busy people, do the best we can-but in
the final analysis they have to deal with people
who are renting. That is their first contact with
the people-of Clinton-and a good deal depends
upon it.
Most airmen and their wives who live here
more than a year become good, happy citizens,
and often are the strongest boosters for the
town. •
• It is up to every man, woman and child in
Clinton to' be an ambassador of good will and a
salesman for Clinton.
If the entire population of the town believes
in its future and is proud of the good things our
town has to offer, the rest of the world will
hear about it-because the people who come to
live here and to work at RCAF Station Clinton
come from all parts of Canada. They stay with
us for perhaps. eight months, or a couple of
years, and then they are off to other Stations,
and other homes. They could tell a good story
about Clinton all across Canada, if the impress-
ion they get while here, is the right one.
Let's get far away from the "small" town
rut of grumbling and groaning about what could
be done, and instead let's become vociferous
about the great future which awaits our town.
Our talk for good,will then far out-weigh any-
thing which Gloomy Gus and Gloomy Joe may
have to say, and the outcome will be something
really good for our town.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
(Kelowna Courier)
WALTER KLEIN, sales manager of the
National. Hosiery Mille Ltd., of Montreal, has
announced that his company, for the first time
in its history, is devoting its entire advertising
budget to newspapers. This is a decided change
in policy for this company, and it is interesting
to note that Mr. Klein stands back of its decis-
ion with sound reasons. In explaining the Choice
of newspapers as the company's sole advertising
medium, he said;
"There are two reasons why we took this
step. First of all, we conducted a survey of all
the advertising media used by the stores to
whom we sell stockings. We found that the
largest number of their dollars by far, were
being invested in newspaper space. We figure
that what is. good enough for our customers is
good enough for us.
"Seeoncily, over a period of many months we
have been carefully checking the campaign of
the Canadian Daily Newspaper Association in
encouraging retailers to tie up their names with
national advertising appearing in the local news-
papers. Results seemed se impressive that our
company Made a complete Switch in its adver-
tising policy, and invited our retail customers
to tie in with our national newspaper adver-
tisements."
This testimony to a derripany's faith- and
confidence in newspaper advertising as a means
of stimulating business , and securing co-opera-

often believe they have the perpetual right to

which for the most part are the thin wedge that
will eventually take this freedom from the
people.

that the "area involved is being adequately

Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
