I’m going to go out of my way to emphasize that I am, in no sense of the word, critical of present conditions. Frankly, I like the Hill the way it is. I like its charm, its gracious living, the friend- liness of its people. I haven’t the slightest intention or desire to be- little the efforts of those who have lived here many years and who have made the community the place it is today. I But, being somewhat of a realist, I’m not side-stepping the fact that to the outside world this comm‘unity isn’t known for what it is and for the advantages it has.

Surely such know- ledge transmitted to the world at large would provide an inducement to the type of citizen who would be happy to make his home in such a place â€" to the business man who is looking for the right type of lo- cation for a specialized industry. that field. it seems to me, an effic- In‘ Furniture 1 Antique Wall clock, about 150 yrs. old, with wooden works 1 Kitchen Clock Large Walnut Sideboard Walnut Settee Hall Rack Solid Light Oak Dining Table Chest of Drawers Oak Finish Dresser and Washstand Golden Oak Bedroom Suite Single and Double Beds Tables and Stands ient Chamber of Commerce could do Wash Stands 21 worth-while job. Toilet Set Wooden Chests 2nd Concession Whitchurch 15"; miles north of Lake Wilcox Will the community develop as an industrial area, or will it continue as a pleasant residential district â€" an [island of quiet living around which the tide of “big business" flows, to settle elsewhere? If the latter â€" then th re is little use for a Chamber of C nnnerce. But if, whether we like it or not, the obvious trend of business and factories to the north of Toronto continues at its present pace, then the sooner something is done along organizational lines the better. Uniquestionably before very long the village will have to face up squarely to such problems as the in- stallation of a sewage system. When that time comes is the cost to be borne by a comparative few or will, by present careful development, there be sufficient businesses to help distribute the heavy expense on a reasonable basis? In other words, can an efficient Chamber of Commerce by acting now to secure part in sound development. Very much depends: of course, up- on the character of the Chamber it- self â€" that is, if such an organiza- tion came into being. An active and alert body, intelligently led, could undoubtedly do much to promote lo- cal trade, deal with problems which affect local industry and businesses, publicize the community favourably, search for new and suitable busin- esses looking for locations. On the other hand an unambitionus organization, practically existing only on paper, without any real punch to it, would just be another of those “clutter-up” organizations which business men are expected to support, and which bring them no real benefit. It would be idle to deny that a not inconsiderable num- ber of Boards of Trade and Chamâ€" bers of Commerce in smaller cen- tres fall into that category. Such a body is not worth the time, money and effort wasted on its organization. Is Industry Coming Here? An examination of the whole sit- uation naturally leads to the ques- tion of the future development of Richmond Hill. Is 21 Chamber of Commerce for Richmond Hill necessary? Just to prevent misunderstanding let me emphasize that the forego- ing is a question -â€" not; an assertion. it is a question which, in view of the rapid development of this area â€" development which is only'in its infancy -â€"- demands consideration by business men and taxpayers. A well-known citizen said to me recently â€" “I’m not sure that the change which is coming to this dis- trict is altogether desirable. It’s always been a nice district to live in. As the city comes closer to us it will bring many problems and change our way of living consider- ably â€"â€" perhaps in many ways that we don’t like. Nevertheless whether we like it or not the change is com- intr and we have to gear ourselves to. The Other Side | There is, of course, a reverse side to the picture. A Chamber of Com- merce exists to do a selling job â€" to sell the story of its community to the outside world. I mentioned sewers just now and naturally the question arises as to whether even the most efficient organization could |interest the worth-while type of bus- iness required until such facilities exist. ’l‘ransportation, housing, an adequate supply of the right type of help, these are the points which “new business" considers first. What can a Chamber of Commerce do about them under present conditions. On the other hand there is one decided advantage in the formation of a Chamber of Commerce. It pro- vides a “meeting point" through which business» men of the locality Again I ask whether, in view of that inexorably onrushing change, a Chamber of Commerce can serve any. useful purpose in our comâ€" munity?

There are many points, for and against, which could be developed in an examination of my opening question â€" “Is a Chamber of Com- merce for Richmond Hill necessary?” It is a question which in the present stage of our civic development, is definitely worth the study of our business men and citizens. It would be particularly interesting to have other opinions and angles. How about letting me know what YOU think? 6 It. McCormick-Deering Binder 5 ft. McCormick Deering Mower 10 ft.

Small but good industries are gradually creeping into the area. One which is now readying itself â€" a completely new type of business for the Hill is reported as prepared to employ twenty-five girls when preliminary work is completed and machinery brought in. other bus- inesses, each bringing a quota of employment and consequently busin- ess to other merchants, are making plans. A welcome, at least, to them from their brother business men isn’t going to do any harm. For Or Against?
