Mr. Casey said that the world is now emerging from the shadow of the great war and is in a period ot reconstruction and the great econom- ic problem confronted by the com- merce men, is one for the people as well. The problems of the farmers, man- ufacturers and merchants, all concern the people and should be assisted in being settled by them as well as by | the membera of the commerce organ- izations which are composed of vol- | untary persons who are aiding in the movement of re-construction. The ! greatest set-back for the chamber of | commerce, is the misunderstanding of the people as to the real work of the association and its projects towards improving. With the co-operation of the citizens of the city, Mr. Casey said he felt that greater programs could be carried out by the chamber. The services of the people, both financial- ly and with adequate membership, would bo a long ways towards solv- ing the betterment of a city govern- ment which the chamber is striving to do with a small backing of follow- ers. Compliments Docal Chamber. Mr. Casey complimented the local chamber and extended to the board of directors his highest praiso for their efforts. He also complimented the citizens of the city on their efle- jenicy in conducting drives and the ex- cellent results obtained from them. He felt that there was room for great- er improvements throughout the com- munity and sald that the chamber of commerce could not gzo along in its excellent work without the backing of the cltizens. ‘““The New Britain of the future lies in the hands of the people who are taking part in the city affairs, the playgrounds, school systems and other necessities can be accomplished through the medium of ths chamber, providing it has the proper backing,” concluded Mr. Casey in his talk.

Ernest W. Pelton, former president of the commerce chamber said that the chamber was ready for greater undertakings but must have a larger membership in order to accomplish them. ‘“The great need today is that of members,” said Mr. Pelton. “A larger chamber of commerce will be in a position to provide for the bet- terment of our city and more im- provements will be the result,”” con- cluded Mr. Pelton.
