How carefully did you buy your home? Did you take the first property that came within your price range 9 “Chances are,” says the Chamber of Commerce, “you plied the real estate agent with a multitude of questions before you made a final decision.” If you were not already acquainted with the locality, you probably asked about the neighborhood, the utilities, the tax rate, police and fire protection, churches and social clubs, school and hospitals, transportation, accessibility to place of employment, theatres, banks and climate. The answers to these and other questions may have been as important to you as the purchase price. When industry looks for a new home, it asks these same questions and many more besides. With a huge investment at stake, it can not relocate by chance. Not only must conditions be favorable for the plant itself, but they must also be favorable for the employees. Discontented workers make a discontented industry. The Chamber of Commerce plays a key role in luring new industry to town for it is through this office that most of the first contacts are made. In this capacity, the chamber acts as a sort of sightseeing guide, pointing out to industry representatives the advantages found in Greencastle. But it takes the whole city working together to produce and improve these advantages. But before an industry indicates interest in a community, the Chamber of Commerce

must have on hand vital information on every phase of community life. It must see that this information reaches interested parties. The Chamber of Commerce can also serve as a screening agency helping to bring industry which is desirable. For example, it would be poor policy to invite trouble by bringing in a factory which had an unfavorable labor history. Within recent years, one Indiana community became jubilant when an industrial firm broke ground in their area. Visions of a large payroll danced through the heads of the residents. Later the rosy picture faded. Not only did employment fail to reach the anticipated peak but frequent lay-offs were the rule rather than the exception. This same industry had still another undesirable feature. The stench from its operations were so offensive that those living on the windward side had to keep w indows and doors closed in self-defense. Other examples of undesirability could be cited, but at this point it w ould be well to turn to positive definitions of desirability. A desirable industry may be large or small. Size isn’t always important. Such industry, however, should blend into the social cultural and economic pattern of the community. Greencastle is fortunate that the industries she now has do blend into this pattern. These institutions have not only contributed to the economic stability of the community, but have become assets in many other ways.

Files For Adjustment

Public Service Indiana Irs filed with the Public Servi, * Commission of Indiana terms of a fuel adjustment clause to be added to residential electric bills beginning in pet-

Recognizing that fuel is a major cost of providing electric service, the Commission recently authorized electricutilities to pass this escalating cost on to residential customers in addition to commercial, industrial and w holesale customers already subject to the charge. When fuel costs exceed a certain base level, the increase is recovered in the “fuel adjustment" charge to customers. Based on fuel cost increases over the past few years, the utility says the add-on charge Bible Study Needs Homes Homes are needed in six Greencastle areas to serve as meeting places for Bible study in a program sponsored by the Greencastle Ministerial Association.
