Report Recom.meRds Action Some months ago a represen- tative of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce sp•en`t some time in Seaforth assessing the town and relation of the local Cham- ber .of Commerce to it. While he presented verbal comments at a meeting at the conclusion of the visit it was, not until recently that a copy of his formal report• was re- ceived. Recommendations of general coneern contained in the report include: - Successful Operations There are three basic • essen- tials to any successful Chamber of Commerce operation:- 1. peration:-1. Program of work; 2. Membership; 3. Adequate finances. • The program of 'work should be determined in line with -the community's requirements and the committee structure within the Chamber. " Membership Membership is not a ,one man committee and should not be a small committee.: Membership expansibn should be the job of the entire ' Cha•mber and 'every member should be equipped and prepared to.solicit•new member- ship for the organization'as well 'CENTENNIAL • • (By, F. C. J. Sills) ' The Centennial events are still coming along. Another or- ganization has been making plans for a Cosi,u,ne Ball in inid•su,nmcr and it may. 'take place in Canino' Ball. . Cardno', Hall has been in exitance for 90 year's sea it is very appropriate. 1\latiy of the ,younger generation have never been -in it but the older gc neration - will remember with nostalgia all the many important performances that took place there, Balls, Plays, Commencements, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Minstrel Shows, Mus- ical Revues, the Dumbelis, etc. Remember the rubber man that could stretch un another 3 inches or the strong man that could pull a car with his teeth or the men that used to come around with the perfor- ming bears. Don't forget the coming events: —Minor IIockel Week and the special games with Dear- born, Mich. this Saturday night: —Old Fashioned Tea to be t -on by the. Ladies Guild of St. Themis Church from 3 to 5 on February 1st. • —Brotherhood Week spon- sored by the Knights of Col- umbus. Main .Street over 40's vs. Legion over 40's in a hockey' game a week from this Satur- day night. —The Beard GtOwing Con- test starting on February 1st. Enroll with Brian .Flannigan and have some A.M. Prizes will. be offered' and Beards judged at the Lions Carnival. Keep the 'projects rolling folks 'because you will get far more out of the Centeno, Mel 'if :watt • t lots of entlhus- er r e as to encourage constant re- newal of existing memberslrip. Civic .Development This committee should under- take projects in 'the field of lo- cal improvement, such as roads parking; lighting, zoning offi- cial: plans and liaison with the municipality. I should like to stress the importance of good liaison with a municipal coun- cil. Representatives of the com- mittee should be present at every meeting of the town coun- cil, thus enabling them to plan the organization's activities in the field of local improvement. Very often, there is conflict be- tween the Chamber of Com- merce and the Municipal Coun- cil simply bedause they are not aware of each other's plans and ideas. Industrial Promotion An' industrial committee's first responsibility' is not the solicitation of new industry. Its most important j-ob is the main- tenance of existing industry in a community. The. second job is, of .course, solicitation of new industry. Industrial develgpment should be a joint effort between the municipality and the Cham- ber of Commerce. It is suggest- ed-. that the best method is to form a committee consisting of an equal number of,represent'a-• Lives of the town council and the Chamber of Commerce. Who` from among th•emsel'ves elect a Chairman.. - Retail Merchants The retail group In any com- munity should be permitted to a .large degree to manage their own affairs and many 'of the activities which are often classi- fied as a major project of the Chamber should fall into the category .of sub -committee ac- tivity under the retail merchants' group. Such activity may in- clude, Santa Claus parades, street lighting, joint sales cam- paigns, street markets, store hours and improvement plans for the business district includ- in: one perhaps as the Norwich Plan.,'° I shold like to emphasise the 'mpnrtan'v of maintaining a -,nod appearance in any business district a'thnueh too often mer- ' hank feel that en, tmners will cool lime shopping in their- es- tablishmeuts simply because they have • formed a habit of fining so. They fail; in many in- stances to recognize the fact that larger, more attiaactj_ve centres are very short distances away and concern is expressed when it is too late, when the consumer has established a new habit and travels to other cen- tres to do his buying. If• steps are taken early this problem could be eliminated. Education There is room in every Cham- ber of Commerce for an educa- tion committee and ' Were is room in every Chamber for the educators -of the • community. There are numerous projects recommended to Chambers in the field of education and it is suggested that your organiza- tion review these. Public Affairs In too many cases, a Chamber feels that all of its efforts should' bp concentrated •in' the local community and believe in ,fact "that -there is nothing beond the local community. It. is sug- gested that participation, in provincial and national Cham- ber meetings, and thus influen• ting provincial and, national, Chamber policies is the business anile ' rodponsibility, of milt Chamber. No doubt, there- are people in your community who would be interested in this type of activity. Agriculture Every community, which has in its immediate vicinity a num- ber -of farmers, should not over- Iook the fact that farmers as much as retailers, industrialists and others are business men and there should be room in every Chamber for the farmers. •Activities which would. concern him, should be planned and in- corporated in the -program of work. Publicity and Public Relations All of the efforts of a Cham- ber are ih vain, where the pub- lic - and prospective members are''coneerned, if they are not made aware of what the Cham- ber is doing. A regular Views letter informing members of current •activity should be pub- lished and liaison should be maintained with news media in order that the public at large may be. better aware and per- haps become more appreciative of the Chamber's efforts. - o summarize briefly, the Chamber should concentrate im- inediately en: 1. Activation of members through involvement: 2. Creation of .a' program of -..-.... Work built around needs of the community: 3' Review and possibly in- crease the membership fees in order to provide ade- quate finances to conduct an effective .pro -'ram of work.

'Treasury Minister Charles Mac/Naughton and Economics and De%,eioppnent Minister otanley .i. itandati said the UDC study will also consider other uses for the 700 -arse property. the base is being rapidly de- activated and all military per- sonnel ..will be withdrawn by September 1967. The property was recently turned. over to. the Crown Assets Disposal Corpora- tion in Ottawa. • Centralia Air Force Base has more than 50 buildings -and workshops, and 362 houses. It was formerly used as a flying, school for training air force pilots. When it was in full oper- ation there were about 2,500 military. personnel and some 300 civilian -employees on the base. Mr. MacNaughton said ar- rangements • with the federal government allow a three to four-month period for the de- tailed feasibility study. The Treasury Board has approved an expenditure of $25.000 for this purpose. Mr. MacNaughton said as soon as the Ontario government be- came aware the base would be de -activated, consideration was given for its possible use for government purposes. At the same time, contracts were made With the Crown Assets Dispos, til Corporation in Ottawa, which had taken it over, with a view to obtaining an option on the property. While these negotia- tions for an option were contin- uing, the Ontario Development Corporation was authorized to engage a firm of consultants to' prepare a comprehensive and detailed report on potential uses for the base. The firm of Steven- son and Kellogg was engaged and the studies were 'commenc- ed evert before formal ;corp -e., tion of negotiations with the. Crown •Asset$ Disposal C•erR tr ation.

"The stud* being undertak- en by UDC will seekto Waitslish whetter or not existing fac• iiities can reasonably be adap• ted for business and egminercial purposes and the effect that such a project might have ,-on the local economy',' Mr: Ran. dali said. • He said a number of enquir- ies have already been, received for the rental of hangars and other buildings at the base. However, experience in both Canada and the United States has shown " conclusively that there are wide variations to the potential uses of such bases, de- pending upon location, size, age of structures, cost, of mainten- ance, and' a variety of other factors-, said Mr. Randall. He said that only last week he had, sent experts from the Ontario Development Corpora- tion to study first-hand deactiv- ated military :air bases in the United States. They reported that many abandoned air fields are being used for civilian and - private flying operations. At one of these bases the number of private planes using Its fac- ilities increased to 130 from 17 over a two-year period, An in- creasing use is being made of these bases by, business execu- tives. • The study is expected to be. completed by early spring, The one-armed man's whis- kers were a month old and the barber was having a rough time with them.
