PACE EIGHT I IMcm W COUNTY LEADER. TOLEDO. OREGON, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 21, 1922. SliAMBER COMMERCE ( Continued from page one.) civic improvements such as the rock ins of Front street; cooperating with the ikutliern Pacific in getting the bank in front of the depot graded; also la getting the owners of the buildings to (in i m up the backs of the.buIIdui.Ks rear the depot; "however," he stated, "uiMne of that painting work is not paid for as yet, according to the con tractor who did the work." He stated that the Chamber of Commerce also did a great service to the entire peo ple of the county by defeating the proposition to raise the electric llcrhf rates in a hearing before the state public utilities commission. Calls Members to Task. Secretary Frederick ended his re port by calling the members of the or ganization to task for their seeming lack of interest in the activities of the Chamber of Commerce. He related his experience in attempting to collect dues from various members and state fI thut it was impossible to do so ana that lie had' made a great many enem ies be runse of this fact. He road two appeals. In the form of circular let ters, that were mailed at intervals nrginp the payment of dues. "Not one cent fame in as a result of theao and the Climber had gone to several dol lars expense to get them out," he stal ed . "The Chamber is powerless to ac complish anything for the good of the community',' ho stated, "unless the inembers will take enough interest to at least pay dues." Committees Fall Down. "During the past year," Mr. Fred-ferU-k stated, "Upwards of 100 com mitters have been appointed to per-j form important duties and out of this number only three ever accomplished ; anything. These committees were, me constating of ladies to look after fho teachers who were here to attend lie institute, another appointed to or-1 gTMnize a volunteer fire department and one appointed for paint-up and clean up work. Such lack of interest on the pnrt of nny organization is enough to disrupt it." Industries Need Boosting. Following Mr. Frederick's .talk Mr. MeOluskny called upon the audience to ofrer suggestions as .a what they thought should be accomplished by the Ctirmbor of Commerce during the com ing year. lieutenant W. K. Patterson made a lengthy talk upon what had bpen ac complished In the dairy inislntM r (Ms. county and why the Chairber of Commerre cheuM iret nr-hlml thi In dustry wholeheartedly as, according to bis Htatrroent, "The dairy ImikImrhs is the coming industry of Llnoo'n coun ty." Ho stated that In h'a nst'rmttnti She people of the town and country vnn itv-iv to the dnlrv cow for a great mo-" profits than they .'m thru the development of the lumber indus try. C. E. Hawkins also talked on the value of the dairy cow to Lincoln coun ty making the statement that the Ileal banks went through the deflation per iod without having to borrow a sent of outside monoy and that this ac complishment was entirely due to the cream check. E. L. Scott told of the Importance of continuous light ana power service and urged the Chamber to moke this a campaign Issue for the coming year Several spoke on the same subject. Need of Cannery. One subject that created consider able discussion was the need of a cannery to accommodate the tons of berries that go to waste in Lincoln county every year because of lack of a wav to care for the crop. It is very probable that definite action will be had to get a cannery located here ! to take care of the next crop. ' R. S. VanCleve urged that the Cham ber do something in regards to build ing a hitch rack ln order that farmers can have a decent place to leave teams while In town. Many other subjects were discussed and, if the sense of the meeting de velops Into action on tho part of the new board, it is likely that the people of this section will realize that the Chamber of Commerce is a grea'. asset to a community and get behind it td a man and at least pay dues into the or ganization. County Agent Bedc Soeaka. County Agent Heck was called upon and he responded with a very spicy talk bringing out the importance of trade relations between town and country and, he stated'what has been said here tonight In regards to the dairy and berry Industries gives me murh encouragement ln the work that is before me." He urged the Chamber of Commerce to take active part in every project of Interest to the farmer and also urged that a rporesentative delegation from the organization attend all rural "dolnirp" t" a mean of getting ac quainted and helning create a 100 per cent co onerative spirit between town and country.
