Proposes End To Many Contributions „ Plan Is Outlined By C. C. Secretary Chamber of Commerce secretary Fred, Koi ter today proposed 11 a future plan whereby members of the retail and industrial divisions would not have to be “hit” for contributions for each and every promotion that comes along. The, plan Kolter outlined would call for 40 percent of the annual dues that are paid by the divisions and associate members to be retained by each group in separate treasuries, to be drawn from whenever money is needed for their activities such as dinners, exhibitions and fairs. The remainder, said the part-time secretary, would be drained into the coffers of the Chamber organisation for his salary and expenses incurred in operations, t “In this way,” declared Kolter, “door-to-door solicitations, so distasteful to the membership, would be done away with and mejnbers would then know that the annual dues they pay are helping them where it counts —in the wallet.” “The 40 percent could be used by the retail division in promoting fairs, apd to pay for collective ads for such things as dollar days, street festivals and direct” expenses of their group. “Likewise, the industrial division would do with their allAment as they see fit, and also relieve them-of the necessity of having to shell opt everytime something comes along.” Kolter also explained some of his plans for augmenting the depleted membership of the Chamber and bringing it up to force. “Until the time comes for the annual meeting I will personally pay visits to all of the Chamber and try to get them into our commercial set-up. “I already visited four merchants and secured their membership. My idea is to bring in another 250 members into the Chamber, most of them to be signed after the annual meeting when a concerted drive will be put on, participated in by all the members of the Chamber, in addition to myself.” \; | In the meantime, said Kolter, he is spending most of his time in getting members who owe money to pay up, and has had a measure of success, he concluded. No One Injured As Two Trucks Collide No injuries resulted from an accident this morning six miles north of Decathr on U. S. highway 27 when a state highway truck driven by Robert Everhart, Jr., 24, Geneva, skidded into the rear of a truck driven by Gerald Mix, 31, Fort Wayne, which had stopped at a narrow bridge to permit a trailer truck to come through.

THE DIDCAm DAILY TX&CkTtTA, tifteAßA 5”

I, THE WHITE HOUSE ‘ p. Washington October I, 1953 TO THE NEWSPAPERS OF THE NATION:

National Newspaper Week prompts us all to renew our awareness of the remarkable national service rendered daily by the newspaper* of America. Our tree press does more than tell our people the history of our times, at explains that .‘history. interprets it, and, so doing, often actually helps to create that history. \ A free press and a free society are essentially one. As the press can know freedom only In a democratic state, so democracy itself is fortiifed by a free press. 4 This strengthening of society is. of course, the anti-thesis of the ignoble service 'performed by the pres* of totalitarian countries. The effectiveness of a free press is virtually to be measured l>y the integrity, candor and responsibility of its criticism. On this occasion 4 am happy to send warm
