Al ass Pie: FELOOPEN “CHM BUILING CITY Organization of Character Project: ed at Casper Capable of Meet- ing Broader Problems, Says Wheeler ——_ A vision of the new chamber of com- merce was pictured today by M. P. Wheeler, a prominent business man and member of the local school board, when he spoke with some earnestness of the value of the work that has been un- dertaken by the chamber in Planning a thoro reorganization and expansion. “The time has come,” he said, “when Casper ought to have a non-partisan, non-sectarian, city-wide, responsible or- ganization such as our chamber of commerce has set out to be; which can do effétively the many things we all Would like to have done and which can be done only in the way the chamber of commerce proposes to do them. “Casper has a reputation as an oil center of which are are all justly proud. The city is well known as such all over the United States. This is fine, but it does not go far cnough. The time has come when we should undertake to es- tablish another sort of a reputation— that of civic unity*and community ac- tion. “This can be accomplished. only by Betting together the largest possible number of the thinking men and women from all the several groups in the city —the working men, the professional men and the business men. The: new chamber of ‘commerce must not be a manufacturers’ association, nor a mer- chants’ association nor a real estate board. It must’ not be the represen- tative of any one group or any two or three groups. It must be the medium for expression for the best thot and energy of all our people. ““When it is ready to do things, as it will be within a very short time, it must not devote itself to your section of the town nor to mine, to the ex- clusion of the other sections. It must be truly city-wide in its scope and sym- pathy and action. And I firmly believe, it wilt be, else the movement would not have been undertaken. “There is another phase of the cham. ber of commerce which has appealed to many.of us. In addition to getting to- gether and working out the problems of the community, we shall have some- thing here to represent us in the out- side world, something which shall speak the voice of the whole community, which shall give the same standing thruout the country among civic-commercial or- ganizations that it now enjoys as an oil centér. “Changed conditions have come with the close of the war. To meet those conditions, we shall need a chamber of commerce much larger and broader than we-have had in the past. With stich a chamber ag “We have ~undertaken ‘ to build here, we shall be fortified against anything that may arise. How better can we do this than by having here a@ great central community organiza- tion.” EMBRYO CHECK ARTIST GLAD ' TO SEE ‘DAD’ THERMOPOLIS, Wyo.
