•• JOIN THE CHAMBER , OF COMMERCE!
embership rolls of the newly-organiZed Clinton .m(1
•, District Chamber of Commerce are rtoiv being tug -
merited following a general meeting Monday even,:
• mg when the draft of the Constitution and Bylaws was
•• aldopted. An advertisement published elsewhere in this
issue solicits members and states that portion of the bylaws
affecting membership and fees. • Fees may be left at the
Bank of Montreal or the Royal Bank of Canada, or paid
to B. B. Pocklington, secretary -treasurer.
As started by the Constitution, the object of the
Chamber "shall be to promote the civic, economic, and
• social welfare of the people of Clinton and district," and
those eligible for membership are "all persons who agree
with the objet of the Chamber."
. The above definitions under the Constitution cer-
tainly take in a lot of territory, and actually mean that
anyone who its interested in the community may join the
Chamber. Thad should be broad enough to suit almost
everyone.
Under the Bylaws, membership shall be of two
classes--indiviclual .and business. An individual member-
ship ($5) may be taken out by a private citizen, profes-
sional man, workman, private agent or any other individual
or partnership with not more than two full-thne employees,
including owner OT owners. A business membershiP ($10)
may be taken out by a local business organization or branch,
a -corporation, partnership, association or estate. This
latter fee entitles the business to ane vote, but this vote
tnay be designated to one of the employees of the busi-
ness df the owner so desires.
In drafting the Constitution and Bylaws, the ex
ecutive of the Chamber of Commerce used several other
such documents as guides, and endeavoured to produce
something that would best fit the needs of Clinton and
district.
If you "agree with the object" of the Chamber, you
should lose no time In joining this new organization which
is capable of doing a good job for this community.

GETTING TOGETHER
Magazines and newspapers are publishing articles
asserting that labor and management must get
together to reduce strikes and strike threats.
Which is a good idea, according to The Printed Word.
The difficulty in carrying out the idea is that a
getting together of any two parties requires goodwill and
good sense on both sides. The reason that Mr. Chamber-
lain'a getting together at Munich merely delayed disaster
was that Hitler was criminally unreasonable. There are
some labor leaders with whom it is impossible to make a
reasonable and lasting agreement; that is not too strong
a statement, The Printed Word avers.
. . Organized labor in large part has demonstrated that
it „will not be voluntarily responsible. Consequently, it is
necessary that it be made legally responsible tor carrying
out its agreements, and be legally compelled to negotiate
in good faith,
"Negotiate" means to negotiate, not to threaten,
I not to lay down demands and ,then shout "or else."
Unionism is proper. But unionism will destroy itself
if (as in so many instances now) it uses its great power
unwisely.
This is not to say that all employers are af pristine
purity. The great majority of employers today are anxious
to treat workers fairly, even generously, and do not object
to dealing with Unlion9. But when, some of the best em-
Ployers, paying the highest wages, find union leaders com-
pletely unreasonable, and when the public is frequently
compelled to suffer loss and Inconvenience, unionism is
,weakening its own cause.
Back three or four generations, workers who dared
to unionize were thrown into jail as conspirators — a
horrible blot in our history. But now the pendulum has
swim too far the other way. Labor's rights are sacred.
Its exeesse must be curbed.

in this day of motor transportation ---certainly came into

in the scheme of things. It has been a long time since so

were wiflihiln the past two or three weeks. We wouldn't

MRS. R. WILLIAMSON
TELLS OF DELIGHTS
OF SUNNY SOUTH
Mrs. It Williamson, Waoctstock;
foxinerly Miss Joy Lobb,.daughter,of
the late W. 11. Lobb, has been hea-
l:laying in the Sunny South. In the
following, letters to her slaters, Mrs.
Lorne Jervis, R.R. 3, Clinton, and
Mrs. George Henderson, Kippen, she
describes in detail many of the de-
lightsof her motor trip.
The letter to Mrs. Jervis reads:
"While you are enjoying or endur.
ing an Ontario winter, we are enjoy
-
Mg a wonderful vacation hi the sunny
south, making. St. Petersburg. Florida
our temporary home for a few weeks.
We left home on December 26 and
arrived here December 30. There
are five in our party and we enjoyed
every minute of our 1,452 -mile jour-
ney by motor, Every town, city and
hamlet was wearing its Christmas
chess, and so we were foetimate
see all this extra beauty of Christmas
true, •fancy lighting and store, win -
kat decorinioe as we dere alone.
Our route hineght us over about 425
miles of continuous mountains, -Which
provide matchless beauty' We had
wonderful weather, and this eae a
great const on as many lanes were
winding roads. The highest peak of
elevation which we reached was 3,400
feet aboye sea level. Each day's drive
brought us into warmer climate. We
w,iveral,
em
wearing sumer apparel on ar-
iThis oceanic climate is very re-
freshing. Nights are cool, days are
bright ,and hot. We have been watch-
ing the mercury daily, as it reaches
anytw,here from 84' to 90.
Flowers bloom everywhere. We
have seen thousands of beautiful
poinsettias, many as high as the
verandahs; soine single, double and
even triple blooms. They are magnifi-
cent, so tis the hibiscus shrub. It
too is red and blooms profusely. All
kinds of vegetables are growing in
the gardens. Little boys sell fresh
strawberries from roadside stands.
Palm trees lend a mark of beauty
amid the spacious streets. There
are 80 varieties, in the state, and
thousands of acres of citrus fruit
groves, orange, lemon and grapefruit.
It has been interesting to us to lean
of their crossed varieties and seeing
the odd tree bearing both orange and
lemon fruit, .
We have enjoyed some beautiful
scenic drives since our arrival. We
visited the Cypress Gardens at Win-
ter Haven, the Bok Singing Tower
at Lake Wales, the Spone Industry
at Tornon Springs, and the Wild
Animal and Reptile farm near here.
We also visited some of the snow-
white beaches where the sand is white.
at Indian Rooks, Passe Grille Beach,
Reddington Gulf Port beaches and
enjoyed bathing- and swimming. The
water is really warm and have been
in almost daily. People are very
sociable in this centre. Strangers
are given a great welcome and are
made to feel at home in a manner
not common in Canada. As you
walk or drive through the business
section of this city, everyone greets
you. Hundreds of people sit about
on long green benchese visiting and
chatting like one big family. At any
time of day, you find them resting,
visiting, enjoying everything. They
have parks for beauty', recreation and
entertainrnent, drive-in , theatres
where you at in your car and attend
the show, open-air Church services
and band concerts. There is here a
peace that grips you and restfulness
that refreshes, as you see people
taking time to enjoy their lovely
surroundings.
I have been attending church ser-
vices in a First Methodist Church.
Yesterday morning 2,300 persons
were present, and a choir of over
100 Tendered marvellous music. I
was inspired and touched by this
hnpressive service.
On , our drive down we passed
through the states of New York,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida. We plan to return by a
different route, the east side of
these same States, along the Atlantic
Coast.
We are well and thankful for these
happy, vaaction days.
While in Florida the Williamson's
met with Gordon Ouninghame's. On
the return trip they run into a severe
storm in the Pennsylvania mountains
which delayed them many hours.
To Mrs. George Henderson, Kippen,
she writes:
"Just a line to let you know how
we are ,ancl where we are. We left St.
Petersburg last Monday evening at
7.30, crossed by ferry to Sarasota,
where we attended the Ringler Bros.
Circus at the winter quarters, saw
all the animals and equipment. We,
drove south to Key West off the
coast of Florida, to reach it we cros.

Share to West Palm Beach that night.
The following day we went through
to Daytona Beach. We slept that
night in a tourist home about 100
feet from the ocean shore. We went
foe a swim 111 the mighty waves. The
next daty we went to the Marine
Studios at 'Marineland and saw the
floor of the ocean with its hundreds
of kinds of fish, porpoises, turtles
and sharks.
St. Augustine was our next stop.
It is a Spanish town, one of the old-
est in the U.S. and one of the queer-
est, queer places I ever was in. The
clarkies take people on sight-seeing;
tours, with one or two-borse carts,
or old phaetons with fancy fringed
tops and bouquets on their whips.
They were cute. We visited the old-
est school house in the U,S., also the
oldest orange grove in Florida. Both
places we had Spanish guides.
Next stop was Brunswick, Georgia.
Here we got our mail. Five letters
from Elgin, one from Elsie and the
