OF C BANQUET TOLD COMMUNITY 18 BEST FOR BOOSTING Business Expert Says Corporation Lines Imaginary Commendable Co-operation Found in Medford Vi cinityBuying at Home Duty of Citizens, Is Assertion Swigart Reviews Chamber Program Plea 'for Wood Products Use Made By Hemstreet Airport Most Important of Year's Accomplishments, Says Secretary Baker's Report. The on tiro section surrounding Medford is a.s much a part til the city na the city itwelf and cor poration lines are but imaginary, said p, B. Arniold of Los Angeles, president of the Arniold Husiness institute, at Dm kl'coihI annual Community Hom Products Run-; quel ut th Kilts temple hist night, under the auspices of the Midford Chamber of Commerce, assisted by the Kotury, Lions und Kiwanis clulis. Corporation lines were mado only for the convenience of solv ing civic problems, such us taxes and ordinances applying only to ' those living within In its limits. However, in the past, said the speaker, suspicion and prejudice has grown about tho lines. In bo me cases residents of the city look upon those on the outside with prejudice and those on the outside look in with suspicion. "But such is not the case In Medford," said Mr. Arnold, "as I see you have with you a repre sentative group of grangers and I understand the co-operation be tween you is commendable. That Is the way it should be. With the co-operation, the conditions for both will be mutually benefited, as a city Medford Is bound to chow further growth. v ,, ."Suspicion. ..and prejudico,''-' he continued, "are 'two of " t'ho four .ubstacles to any city's growth and tself-satlsf action and indifference are the other two. Indifference of merchants and citizens toward any puhlic spirited move has been and is te cause for many corpo rations staying in the small town class, because Its citizens would not go out of their way to bene fit their community. Selfishness Hurts. "In other cases it Is self-satisfaction with present conditions that hold buck the progress of a "community. The people are sel fish in their motives and' can not -see that benefits for another will also be a benefit to them selves. "Included In the five steps that can be taken to improve your city are organization, advertising, co operation, efficient merchandising and community loyalty," said Mr. Armold. "Organization is necessary If results are to be accomplished and in that way an unorganized com munity can not be superior to one that Is fully organized. Organized communities go out and get what they want. Advertising, telling the world what you have, is es sential to progress. It has been the means of many cities growing into metropolfserf. It built Los Angeles Into tho metropolis of the "Before my third baby was born ray husband advised me to take your medicine and he bought me three bottle of it.

Ijos Angeles spent a million and one half dollars for advertising alone lust year, mean ing about one dollar" out of every thuiisund that was produced. Here you could afford to spend two dol lars for every thousand produced and expect due results in return. Instead of $14,000 per year, you should be spending (30.000. "The Ijos Angeles Chamber of Commerce- extends lis greetings to you and is willing to co-operate with you in whatever you do. That city realizes its growth is affected by the growth of tho entire Pacific coast. The chamber will willingly distribute literature for you in 'your efforts to bring more peoplo to this wonderful sec tion. .1 Loyalty Is Asset, - "Community loyalty," continued Mr. Armold, "is a great asset, and it is sadly in need when local citizens begin knocking vand fail to tell strangers In tho city of the opportunities offered. It is the duty of the citizens to buy at home und the merchants to M.-U at home. - It is further the duty of all to eliminate the business and :coiniminity parasites. The -former uro 'mbrchants, who make their money in the city, but refuse to co-uperato in public spirited moves and the- latter are those who earn their money, in a com munity, but purchase goods and supplies outside. . "The chamber of commerce is the hub of civic activities and service clubs and other organiza tions are spokes leading to the hub in the spirit of co-operation. However, if a spoke attempts to be 'a hub the, value of co-operation Is lost and favorable results can not be expected. "Do, not forget to be courteous to the stranger in your midst," said Mr. Armold, "for ho will be und is one of your biggest adver tisements. He will tell others on his travels of. the city of Med ford, but if you welcome him with little or no consideration, . what can you expect of him when he leaves!" "You can not get favorable results through the efforts, of knockers," he said in concluding. Durinc the course, of his speech.

I W. B. D. Dodson, manager of' the Portland Chamber - of Com merce, who was to have spoken last night, was unahle to be pres ent because of an unforseen delay In Portland. Program Outlined. The only other speaker, at any length, was Carl Swigart, presi dent of the chamber, who outlined the program tho chamber had chosen for the ensuing year, and dwelt a short time on each fea ture. A plea for thfr tine ot homo products by preferring wooden box containers, instead of paper box containers, was made by John Hemstreet, representing the Em ployes Lumber Products Project committee. He reviewed the im portunce of tho lumber industry to Medford. The Tomlln Box company, he said, expended $46.1, 156.95 for labor, and employs 122 men, of whom 63 own their own homes. The Owen-Oregon Lum her company employs t00 men and has annual expenditure of $1,291,000, of which 6995,000 Is direct payroll, of the employes of this company, 75 per cent are married men. The advent of the paper hox on the market has proven to be a serious problem, and on the Pacific coast, he aid, and has cut into the lumber in dustry to the extent of 20 mil lions of dollars. He urged the public to co-operate in requesting the ue of wooden packing boxes and in this way overcome the present situation. Airport Important.
