North Hol lywood, Calif., and Lincoln Chamber, Guests Hear Reports on State Group O'Neill Chamber of Commerce members Monday night enter tained guests from neighboring towns at a dinner meeting at the Presbyterian church. Over 60 persons heard State Chamber of Commerce officials tell of the need for a State Chamber. Present to represent the state group were presdent Ralph E. Misko, York; Charles E. Chace. Lincoln, managing director; and C. H. Hosier, Fullerton, District 4 director. Misko told the meeting that the State Chamber could work in many areas to help individual towns, but could best serve in three areas which include busi ness and industrial development, recreation and tourist develop ment and agricultural research. In discussing attraction of new industry, Misko said three factors were extremely im portant to the location of an industry and named schools, churches and recreation. The broad aim of a State Chamber, he said, would be to “better conserve and deve p 11k bus ness that is now in the state, constantly promote better busi ness climate, attract more busi ness and industry, develop tile natural and human resources, promote just and humane laws of the state." Hosier said the State Chamber also cooperates and works very closely with local Chambers throughout the state and does whatever it can to strengthen them in their own fields of activi ty It offers the same type co operation to local and state trade associations, he said, and seeks to achieve a cooperative effort on problems of mutual interest. Guests were present from Plainview. Clearwater, Bassett, Lincoln, Page, Stuart and In man. Rev. John Hart appealed for more funds for the Boy Scout movement in O’Neill. The fund drive, he said, was lag ging and at the present rate would not reach last year's figure. In addition, he explained, we now have a full time Scout council representative because O’Neill was so generous with con tributions last year and the Boy Scout movement is growing in the area. Rev. Hart's appeal was fol lowed by approval of a motion to grant the Scouts $150 from Chamber of Commerce funds. In other business.
