Clinton and District Chamber of
Commerce met for its first monthly
meeting, following the summer sea-,
son, in the town council chamber ,an
Monday 'evening, with about 85 in
attendance, The president, G. R.
Foster, was in, the chair, and J. G.
MeLay acted as secretary in the ab-
sence of 13. B. P'oeklington, who is
in England.
The main part of the meeting was
given over to a `discussion arising
from a report from the industrial
committee by its chairman, C. IL
Epps: •
Mr. Epps stated that about two
weeks ago H. H. Harriss, the new
owner of Clinton Knitting Co., had
called a -meeting of members of the
town council and the board of direc-
tors of the Chamber and had pointed
out to them the condition at the fac-
tory. He told them that unless some-
thing were done to find boarding
places for employees he would be
forced to move the faotary elsewhere.
At the present time there •are 25
girls and six men urgently needed
at the factory, with a present staff
of 80. The payroll now stands at
$100,000 per year but it could easily.
be 3150,000, if they could get the ]Help
to assist in expansion plans. There is
340,000 worth of new machinery
chmerY
which is idle on account of lack of
help.
After Mr. Epps had given his re •
-
part, considerable discussion ensued.
It was felt it would be a very bad
thing for the town if this industry
were to leave •here. It was stated
that workers could be obtained but
they could not secure boarding
1011505.
Housing to Start
The question was asked if the War -
tints Houses in Ginton might not al-
eviate this situation a little, and
then the question arose, but when
are we going to get these houses.
Mayor A, J. McMurray stated that
he town had been notified that the
contract had. been let to H. Parker,
Stratford, who- also had the contract
for the Exeter houses. Reeve V. D.
Falconer stated that a carload of
umber had arrived in town Monday
and that it was expected that work
vould begin on these new houses next
Monday.
Several members voiced ideas that
might help the situation, some of
which were: (1) getting• women's or-
ganizations interested in this whence;
hotel :idea; (3) factory cafeteria;
(4)'(2) checking boardng 'places used by
the Collegiate students, as quite a
number had found places last winter
to stay intorn when the buses were
not running.
Committee Named
Finally, to bring the question to
a head, on motion of Hugh R. Haw-
kins and Joe 1Vlur,phy, the matter was
left in the hands of a committee un-
der the chairmanship of. N, W. Tee.
wartha. Mr. Trewartha later named
his committee to be FI. C. Lawson,
for St. James' Ward; W. Ii'. Robinson,
for St. Andrew's Ward; J. G. MeLay,
for St. George's Ward; and C. H.
Hipps, for St. John's Ward. The mem-
bees also decided that if a house-to-
house canvass were necessary, it
would be undertaken.
An advertisement is published by
the Chamber on. page three of this
issue.
Itwas pointed out that this was
no new problem to a Chamaiber• of
Commerce. Other Chambers, notably
Mitchell and, :Strafford, had been ask-
1 ed to face the problem and had taken
action in the matter.
Alrecommendation md�atio
n was passed ssed an
to the 'Tourist and Publicity commit-
tee that, if feasible, signs be placed
at the different entrances to the town.
Several towns were quoted as hav-
ing very effective signs •announcing
that you were coming into. them.
It was pointed out that the annual
meeting of the Canadian Chamber of
Commerce is being held in Quebec
City on October 7, 8 and 9. As De.
D. C. Geddes expects to be in Quebec
City at that time on vacation he was
appointed official delegate,
