The significance of the event cannot be over-emphasized. Gathered together are representatives of businesses, large and small, at the 21th annual meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. . ' The mere fact that hundreds of individuals, some of whom are officially accredited delegates of their local Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce and others who are non-voting representatives of business firms who hold corporate membership in the Canadian Chamber, meet to discuss national problems is in itself evidence of the acceptance of the responsibility of citizenship. The feature of the Canadian Chamber's annual meeting, which attracts delegates from far and wide, is that there is provided an opportunity for each Canadian in attendance to express his or her own views on the matters which are discussed While there is ample opportunity to hear the viewpoints of specialists and experts in various fields, it is never forgotten that in the final analysis it is the individual who must grapple with ' the problem in his own community and whose attitude must be considered if a sound practical solution is to be found. " The judgment and experience of business and community leaders in every field of Canadian endeavor are brought to bear on a wide variety of subjects. Whether one agrees or not withjthe final decisions one cannot help but leave such a meeting with a far greater understanding and appreciation Why does the government get ; Inquire obout our Instalment Payment Wc in such a terrible tizzy when ; rn1 nFN R r P' Construe -. what work is going on, it is ob- FOR KKFF.
