m1 n r H FRANK LOCKMAN New Chamber Manager Addresses RotarianS . ' Springfield Rotarians Hear New Chamber Manager Springfield's new Chamber of Commerce manager, Frank Lock man, made his first public ap pearance in Springfield Wednes day noon when he addressed that city's Rotary Club on the topic, "Retirement and Re-evaluation." The 56-ycar-old former Salem real estate man drew from his own experience by telling 'how he entered college at the age of 48 after retiring from business. He said retirement bored him .and made him feel "like a mis fit." It was at Willamette Univer ' sity that Lockman had his first experience in "ublic speaking. Anyone, he to;- the Rotarians, can become adept at speaking if he concentrates upon having something to say.
