"Chamber of Commerce Week" was establish-
ed
stablished to bring all Canadians a concept of the role
of the local Board -of Trade or Chamber. of Com-
merce in community • building for the national.
good. Here are cells of democracy — independ-
ent and vigorous — binding'. citizens together to
make their communities- better places in which to-
live and in which to earn a. living. . Board and
Chambers can .truly be called the conscience and
the will of their communities. The conscience to
see and recognize the needs of .the community and
the will to , take effective action. -It has been well'
said .that a community is poor in purse and in
purpose that has 'not a strong vital and . active
Board of , Trade or Chamber of Commerce.
Eleven Reasons Why 1 Should Be
a Member of the Chamber
• •-of Commerce
1. Because I have,a business stake in this community
Which can best be Safeguarded by working with others
through the .Chamber of Commerce to protect and ad-

spirit of all and, directs it into useful and constructibe
channels.
8. Because the Chamber of Commerce helps create and.

towns for pew industries and new payrolls.
10. Because I believe it is essential to progress to have a
central organization eternally watching community
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 influence
is the Torce of organized business .functioning through
the Chamber of. Commerce for the purpose. of improv-
