He especially urged that owing to condition of the times every help be af- forded patriarchs who may be in arrears 80 that losses due to suspension may be reduced to a minimum.

D. Van Amburgh of New York, publish- er and editor of The Silent Partner, who spoke encouragingly of the busi- nezs of today, which is gradually be- coming better. The members present| were also enjoyably entertained by a talk by Robert E. Tesseman, Who was a leutenant in the English recruiting ser- vice in England during the war. Mr. Tesseman told of many of the humorous incidents that happened during his work getting recruits for the army. The chamber of commerce enters up- on its mew year under the direction of the following officers who have just been elected by the new board of directors: President, Charles F. Wells (re-elected for the third term); first vice presi dent, John M. Lee: second vice presi- dent, Shepard B. Palmer; treasurer, |F ¥. TParker; secretary, John J. O Rourke, auditor, Ewald VonHornig. ¥ cesident Wel's presided at the meét- Ing and introduced the speakers of the evening. Swahn's orchestra furnished ic during the evening and Fdwin HIIl was the song leader for the chorus singing. 3 Mr. Wells in opening the meeting €aid in part: 5 “It is a pleasure to see =0 many o the members and their friends at this, ne first annual meeting of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce. “It is provosed this year, as the Te- st of the group meetings held re- cently, to hold monthly meetings for| she membership and their friends. which | made interesting ang instruc- sive. These meetings will also provide he means for the membership to dis- vyss local problems affécting the prosperity and growth of Norwich, and endeavor to secure the united support of the eiire membership as far as pos- sible. to achleve the ends sought. Doubtless, these meefings will grow in enthusipsm1 and attendance, and willj ereate a strong factor for the accom- plishment of warthwhile things for this community. The result of the elections showed an active interest on the part of the membershin, and the desire to main- tain the chamber through the direction of able men. The coming year is aus- picious for gremter things for the cham- ber and for the community. It should be horne in mind, however, that the active, Intelligent and moral support of every member is essentfal if we are. and we should be able, to make. Norwich a bigzer. better and busier community. Your loyal and constant support to ail chamber of commerce activitles is need- +d. and it is the hope of your officers, will be rendered by you.” Mr. Van Amburgh in his address spoke as follows: Friends: I know you are my friends for ‘other peonle mect you as vou greet them and I have been rovally greeted tn order to have a friend you must fi prove yourself friendly.

If the manufacturers can't man- uficture the working man is out of em- ployment. America is surely awaking to a same and safe prosverity. Tt is curely coming.
