The following people have purchased Majestic radios from Hollett Motor Sales within the past few days: Bob Burk. Mrs. Tom Hapner. Lloyd Dlsher and W. H. Brlllhort. Mrs. Sol Miller was hostess on Wednesday afternoon td the members of the Bridge Club, at a bridge luncheon at her home. At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last Tuesday, a letI ter from the Daniel Guggenheim fund for the promotion of aeronautics was presented and mad EDITORIALS OI K CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Members of the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce, and that includes a substantial majority of ■ the businessmen, have recently chosen their officials for the en- ; suing year, and they have also had the. opportunity to reflect on the accomplishments of the past pear. This in itself is something when one stops to realize that many a community -some smaller and many larger — has no such organization to represent it and speak for its citizens Chamber of Commerce groups have for the most part proven their value. but it Is nonetheless Interesting to note the number of com, * munities in which such a representative body is lacking The Syracuse version of the organization is not the best in the world, but it is also a long shot from being the worst, too. Its meetings are not always the mo.-: • nlivened; and its policies and acts do not always reflect the most aggressive spirit. In fact it sometimes behaves as though might be afraid to speak up or to act for fear of treading on someone's "status quo" toes And nothing gets done I unless someone's toes get stepped on This is as much a reality as [ the members who make up the ’ organization On the other side of the ledger i the members have cemented a firm and well founded organization While the progress is slow and measured it is definite and upward as well as onward. • Financially and planningwise. | the civic organization has Inched itself along to the point where one might and no doubt will expect to see more and bigger results from the group. Much of 'liis progress is due to the type of leadership of Its officers and board directors. The commerce group has just returned to office two of its incombent officers and several members of its board of directors These men have been well ahead of the club membership in their efforts to build Syracuse, and this disclosure alone warrants for them a second term in office Bickerings. pMty jealousies, and just plain contrariness has slowed the progress iof these officers. but they have in every instance held themselves above these plcayuni :i differences and ■ steered the clqb forward to Its major goals. Individual members might well review their role in the club’s future In the meantime. our officers deserve a "well done" for i '53. and continued success for ’54
