CHAMBER
OMMEMTS
by GEORGE T. CALLISON '
Assistant Mgr. r
KLAMATH COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Just when I thought I had" writ
ten my last word for the timelhe
ing at least on the topic, "What
Is A Chamber of Commerce?"
there appeared In the Coos Bay
World an editorial on the subject
which was so full of erroneous con
clusions drawn upon false prem
ises that I can't resist a few more
lines.
In the August 11 edition of "The
World." Forest W. Amsden, as
sociate publisher and executive
editor of the paper, wrote a dou
ble column editorial entitled,
"Chamber of Commerce What Is
It?" The editorial was prompted
by the resignation of the Coos
Eay Chamber of Commerce mana
ger which, in turn, came about as
the result of a marked lack of
interest and financial support for
the chamber's program.
The writer's first of a series of
false' premises arose In his dis
cussion of the fact that the Coos
Bay chamber, following a mem
bership campaign, hired a mana
ger.- He complained, "Some busy
chamber members, who thought
they'd bought a respite from some
work by hiring a manager, sud
denly discovered he was making
extra work for them."
In this one statement, Amsden's
entire editorial was discredited be
cause, as he surely must know.
a chamber of commerce is not
the manager. Rather, it is the peo
ple of a community, brought to
gether and kept together on a vol
untary basis to do collectively for
their , community those things
which would be impossible for an
individual to do. The success of
a chamber of commerce depends
upon the amount and quality of
the activities (or work, if you
please, Mr. Amsden) of its com
mittees. U is through those com
mittees that the skillful manager
enlists, organizes and directs the
talents and energies of the cham
ber members.
It would take several columns
lo answer Amsden's next point,
in which he berates a Coos Bay
chamber ex-president for his view
that a chamber of commerce
"should be a businessman's un
ionto push the point of view of
business in politics and the econo
my." Perhaps the thought could
be better expressed since a cham
ber of commerce never does be
come involved in purely political
matters. But, what one good rea
son can be offered why business
men should not pool their ideas,
talents and energies to promote
their own interests and those of
their community? Or put it this
wav. Why should businessmen
be denied the same right of lorm
ing their own association which is
enjoyed by teachers, plumbers,
waitresses, cattlemen, writers, log
gers, actors, carpenters, musicians,
or any other group? Obviously
they shouldn t.
There's no quarrel with Ams
den's opinion of what a chamber
should be stated late in his edi
torlal namely, a booster for the
area, bnt unfortunately, he went
on to state, "As a boaster for this
area, there are a million and one
little things that can be done
none of them involving much sit
ting down committee work."
New Timber Tax
Method Needed
PORTLAND (AP) Oregon
should find new way to tax
Dwight Phinps told the Legislative
Interim Committee on Taxation
here Friday.
"Timber evaluation should he
set at a level permitting orderly
marketing of timber, not at a

SMALL FIRE
McCLOl'D A fire which start
ed Tuesday afternoon from a felled
power line near Dry Creek. 32
miles cast of here, burned half
an acre of slash. State . forestry
and forest service men. borate
drops and tank trucks were used
to control it.
Arkansas was admitted to the
Union on June u, 1836. -
Pipeline
line to deliver Alberta gas to Cali
fornia. A lateral near Spokane
(not shown on the map) would
connect with lines of the Pacific
Northwest Pipeline Corporation.
The part of the project shown
on the map is a 614-mile pipeline
from Kingsgate, B.C., on the Idaho
British Columbia boundary, to the
Oregon-California boundary near
Klamath Falls.
The line, costing $129,588,000,
would deliver 456,000.000 cubic feet
of gas daily to the Pacific Gas
ic Electric Co., fbr sale in Cali
fornia. Natural gas from the line
would be available in Southern
Oregon and Far Northern Califor
nia. - '
Construction is expected to be
gin as soon as the Dominion of
Canada grants the necessary cx
port licenses.
Yes, there are a million and one
little things that can be done
that are done daily in a cham
ber of commerce. Most of them
go unheralded because they are
routine procedure. But, in the fast
moving, dynamic economic struc
ture of our society today, there
are a lot of big things that also
must be done things that do re
quire a, lot of collective, hard
work in committees. Unless they
are done, no chamber of com
merce could survive. It would
have no reason for being.
At this juncture, the forward
thinking, progressive citizens of
the community would soon discov
er they would have to band to
Reiner in some other organization
where, through the pooling of their
ideas and energies and a lot of
hard work they could make of their
community a belter place to live
and to make a living.
