Main Phone SP 2-5266 Businessmen Show Satisfaction in 0 - Chamber of Commerce Program Satisfaction with the modern ized program of the Jackson i County Cr&mber of Ccfcmferce t has jjeen expressed by local j businessmen in letters to the chamber. Excerpts . from the letters in t dicate a wide variety of reasons J 'or continued support of cham ber actJiiities, according to Mil ler Juggins, cumber president and chaimn of ie current membership campaign. Ke quoted0 one letter saying "We take considerable pride iS the fact that through member ship in the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce we have shared in many progressive de velopments during the past few years." Highway Impreremenis "Through - our cooperative support with other community leaders we have helped to launch Highway 99 improvements, a new armory, iw wholesale warehouses, a new hospital, a wood waste study and many more. "We have faith in the future of Jackson county, and are will ing to back that faith by our con-4 tinued investment in try Cham ber program." ' Another suggests '. . . "In our own case the answer is quite simple. As a business firm we feel that membership o in the Chamber is one important0 way in which we can discharge our obligation to Medford and Jack son county. Our cooperative ef fort along with that of other 'irms ii the area has had an im portant part, we feel, in build ing a better community and a better business climate." Not All Agre. There are times when some disagreement occurs regarding a specific point or method of ap proach in solving community problems. As one business firm puts it . . . "While we may not always be in complete agree ment with a few of the things done by the Chamber of Com merce, we wish to congratulate the organization and actively served on its committees 'As a business 'firm we are glad to cooperate with others to- ward building a better Jackson county." Lory Range View Still another firm stresses fa vor toward the long range activi ties of the organization by say ing . . . "Congratulations to the Chamber for the successful ef forts to get a start on the new route to Klamath Falls. This is, in our opinion, one of many im portant projects on the program."

Word also was re ceived of the death of Mrs. .Rob ert Warren who had been a' member of the Roxy Ann Grange before transferring to the Cen tral Point Grange. Mrs. Evely Hendricks was given the third and fourth de grees and was welcomed into the Grange. It was decided the Grange would hold their annual picnic Aug. 18 at noon at McKee bridge with fried chicken to be the main dish. . The Grange voted to sertd tele grams to Representatives Charles Porter and Wayne Morse in the disapproval of the government taking over the Grange building inWashington, D. C. Also peti tions were passed around to be signed for the repeal of the school consolidation law.. Lecturer's program was after Grange with members telling of their vacations of the year and Lecturer Frances Moffat and Roscoe Roberts put on a skit. Refreshments were served by Mr. and Mrs. Gene Foresee, Mr. and Mrs. P. Rushton and Mr. and Mrs. R. Rushton "Our membership in the Jack son County Chamber of Com merce is one of the most import ant ways in which we express confidence that the long range goals set forth in the program will eventually be reached." "The effectiveness of chamber activities through organized committee structure is doing a job which none of us would dare attempt singly." Leadership Sk'll , Another firm justifies its membership in the Chamber of Commerce by pointing out that "as a single firm we could not afford to hire the business lead ership voluntarily devoted to community problems through the Chamber of Commerce. "For this reason alone, we be lieve our membership is worth every' dime we put into the or ganization and more " One firm belongs because It recognizes the Chamber of Com merce as the only organization in the county whose efforts are devoted to the specialized field. According to its letter, "Only as Medford and Jackson, county continue to prosper can we ex pect our business to grow. We therefore look upon our con tinued affiliation with the Cham ber of Commerce as a major activity toward broadening the economic base of Jackson county." "It is the only organization in the area whose efforts are de voted to strengthening the econ omy. We regard our own mem bership as one of the best means of protecting our investment and at the same time helping to build a better community." "People have many different reasons for supporting similar causes or goals," according to Huggins. "Whatever the reason for joining the Chamber o Com merce we are impressed by the fact that there are so many with vision enough to pool their funds and cooperative efforts toward specific long range projects which will result in a better business climate and a better Jackson county."
