Vice -President CHAMB.ER OF COMMERCE WEEK "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.

Because the Chamber of Commerce unifies the public spirit of all and, directs it into useful and constructibe 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 Com- mend we would be . less able to compete with other 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- ing our town.
