"It has been suggested that we

mun.ty make a careful survey of
Its pussibilit es and be ready to
discuss them at our meeting with
the view of bringing the whole-industrial

partment of the Portland cham

position to be nf great service to
the various communities If they
only knew what industries were
needed. Tho marketing depart

can also be of great assistance In
helping the smaller communities
