Oregon, Tuesday, March 17, 1931. COMMUNITY NEEDS Every progressive community requires an active Chamber of t ommerce, or an organization of similar character by whatever name it may be known, and a live newspaper, to keep abreast of the times and fulfill its destiny. The Port Orford Chamber of Commerce has fully establish ed its right to existence through the great amount of constructive civic work it has brought to completion during the past four vears including the freeing of the scenic Oregon Coast Highway from the commercial billboard nuisance throughout Curry County and its maintenance in that natural condition—the preservation of historic Battle Rock amid befitting surroundings—the securing of Congressional action for the establishment of a coast guard sta tion—and the work of preservation of the interesting sea lion through the adoption of adequate legislation by the State.

It, too, has kept the faith and earned its right to recognition. Thf NEWS is devoted to the upbuilding of Southwestern Oregon, including the full development of the great variety and abundance of natural resources with which Nature has blessed this region. It carries the facts regarding the wide range of op portunities to those in other sections where opportunities for in vestment are not so alluring—to individuals and organized capital generally. Its work rebounds to the direct benefit of every man. woman and child in Southwestern Oregon, and the greater the NEWS is supported the greater its effectiveness will be. The NEWS respectfully solicits increased support from the citizens of this region. Such support may be made manifest in di vers ways—by reporting new and unusual resources, and oppor tunities—by reporting items of news—by new subscriptions — keeping existing subscriptions paid up—by use of its columns for advertising purposes—and, generally, by speaking the gortd word for the paper. With such support the management of the NEWS pledges a continuance of its policies for the upbuilding of this great section of country.
