Highway Engineer. Robert Neumeyer and As¬ semblymen, VanSlckle. Coakley and McPall. In a few well chosen words president Kern Introduced the flrst speaker, townsman Prank H. Martin, the State and National Councillor of the local chamber, who viewed the hlghspota of the organizations work the past year from a state and national scope. He stressed the Importance of every member as be¬ ing a part of • vast human machine grinding dally to solve problems of •very description. In every com¬ munltv and for the ultimate welfare of aU.' President Kem then introduced the keynote speaker of the evening. H. P. Velsley. who In turn Introduced the guest speaker. Very encourag¬ ing remarks were left with the fath¬ ering by the Assemblymen, the Sen¬ ator as well as the Highway engi¬ neer, regarding what Nasareth may expect m the way of future highway Improvements vlUlly affecting local commerce. All of the speakers re¬ ceived hardy rounds oT applause expressing a most welcome approval of proposed plans and urgent and much needed road Improvements. The local chamber has sponsored a movement for better and more permanent road construction leading to and entering the northern bound¬ aries of the Borough since Its organ¬ isation In 1939. and now feels Its efforts are nearing realization. At least the members have received the assurance of every consideration at Prldav's meeting by the Senator. Assemblymen and Highway Engineer. Nasareth feels confident that their Interest will merit sincere thought and action That Nazareth is one of the best Boroughs of Its siae In the state was made clear and pronounced by the keynote speaker of the evening, when townsman H. P. Yeisley, a director of the chamber, delivered a most Interesting and sincere key¬ note. Speaking In first person, he brought to the attention of eager listeners the true feeling of a loyal cltlsen to the town he calls hli home. Excerpts from the keynote speech. entitled. "Looking at Nazareth" are as follows: "Beautifully located on northeast aiMl southern exposure of a hlU, we see a large number of buildings. Is that Nazareth? No, that Is lifeless What then Is Nazareth? The people living in Nazareth, that Is Nazareth Then Nazareth is no better noi worse than its cltlsens In other words Nazareth Is what we make It. How can we make Nazareth a better town? We must analyze our con¬ duct as Nasarenes to determine which of our actions are good or IMKI as a cltlsen ot Nasareth." "To continue," stated Mr. Yeisley. "let us look at Nasareth (ourselves* In the mirror": "Plrst. what have t donct Am I a pessimist who finds (suit wtth every¬ thing that Council, achool Bomii, Chamber of Commerce. PIremen, Businessmen, cltlsens have done? Hubbard says it Is easier to criticise than to correct, crltlclslai requires no genius, no talent, no brains. I am what I think and not what I think I am'. If I think smaU po¬ tatoes I act Uke a small potato. I should remember that I am 1 5500 of Nazareth. If tbe other fellow thmlcs and acts like 1. what sort of a town will we have?" Second, is Nasareth a good town? May I express my per.sonal opinion .It this point." stated the speaker, "after summarizing what have I done as a pes.slmist I feel mean; so let me say here and now—I think Nazareth Is the fciest town In the world. I drifted from the subject we are analyzing—Why is Nazareth a good town? We have a good Council. School Board, good schools, good fellowship, good banks, good industries, good firemen, and good Industrious people. They do the best they possibly can If I do not eon- .sider It the best town, than my thoughts are not consistent with my actions. Nobody ever asked me to come to Nazareth, stay In Nazareth, or leave Nazareth; and. If I did leave probably nobody would miss me. Then, why do I stay In Nasareth?— I like the old town and the good old spirit of the town." "Third, what can I do to make Nasareth a better town? — Speak well of my community, I am a part of It—I will not be a small pouto. It Is easier to criticise than correct. If I do not approve of actions than I will suggest a better way. If I can't than I couldn't do any better. I will •"peak well or keep quiet I will not be a 'knocker'. He who freely magni¬ fies what has been done and fears not to declare as freely what might be done better gives the best cove¬ nant of his faith In and loyalty to the commtinlty. "I am one tooth of the 5500 com¬ prising this community. If one tooth out of 5500 In a set of gears Is broken out. the machinery will not run smoothly. I will be a good sound tooth, I will do my share and co¬ operate with the other 5499 and we will be a smooth running commun¬ ity, eager to make Nazareth a btfger and better community. While we have the best town In the best coun¬ try In the best state In the union, we can Improve it. If I. a citizen will do mv pa It.—let's all pull together.— This is what I see In the mirror,— what do you sec?" A full note of approval was accorded the speaker following his closing remarks. At a business session, following tlie luncheon meeting, the following ofBcers constituting the 'ihamber's Board of Directors for 1937 were elected: William Bennett, E. C, Champion. J H. Pulmer, A. O.

The eighth annual luncheon meet¬ ing ol the local Chamber of Com¬ merce was lield last Friday evening at the Nazareth Inn with eighty-four members and guest* In attendance.

The honor guests present were, Senator W. R. Roberts. Highway Engineer. Robert Neumeyer and As¬ semblymen, VanSlckle. Coakley and McPall. In a few well chosen words president Kern Introduced the flrst speaker, townsman Prank H. Martin, the State and National Councillor of the local chamber, who viewed the hlghspota of the organizations work the past year from a state and national scope. He stressed the Importance of every member as be¬ ing a part of • vast human machine grinding dally to solve problems of •very description. In every com¬ munltv and for the ultimate welfare
of aU.'
President Kem then introduced the keynote speaker of the evening. H. P. Velsley. who In turn Introduced the guest speaker. Very encourag¬ ing remarks were left with the fath¬ ering by the Assemblymen, the Sen¬ ator as well as the Highway engi¬ neer, regarding what Nasareth may expect m the way of future highway Improvements vlUlly affecting local commerce. All of the speakers re¬ ceived hardy rounds oT applause expressing a most welcome approval of proposed plans and urgent and much needed road Improvements.
The local chamber has sponsored a movement for better and more permanent road construction leading to and entering the northern bound¬ aries of the Borough since Its organ¬ isation In 1939. and now feels Its efforts are nearing realization. At least the members have received the assurance of every consideration at Prldav's meeting by the Senator. Assemblymen and Highway Engineer. Nasareth feels confident that their Interest will merit sincere thought and action
That Nazareth is one of the best Boroughs of Its siae In the state was made clear and pronounced by the keynote speaker of the evening, when townsman H. P. Yeisley, a director of the chamber, delivered a most Interesting and sincere key¬ note. Speaking In first person, he brought to the attention of eager listeners the true feeling of a loyal cltlsen to the town he calls hli home.
Excerpts from the keynote speech. entitled. "Looking at Nazareth" are as follows:
"Beautifully located on northeast aiMl southern exposure of a hlU, we see a large number of buildings. Is that Nazareth? No, that Is lifeless What then Is Nazareth? The people living in Nazareth, that Is Nazareth Then Nazareth is no better noi worse than its cltlsens In other words Nazareth Is what we make It. How can we make Nazareth a better town? We must analyze our con¬ duct as Nasarenes to determine which of our actions are good or IMKI as a cltlsen ot Nasareth."
"To continue," stated Mr. Yeisley. "let us look at Nasareth (ourselves* In the mirror":
"Plrst. what have t donct Am I a pessimist who finds (suit wtth every¬ thing that Council, achool Bomii, Chamber of Commerce. PIremen, Businessmen, cltlsens have done? Hubbard says it Is easier to criticise than to correct, crltlclslai requires no genius, no talent, no brains. I am what I think and not what I think I am'. If I think smaU po¬ tatoes I act Uke a small potato. I should remember that I am 1 5500 of Nazareth. If tbe other fellow thmlcs and acts like 1. what sort of a town will we have?"
Second, is Nasareth a good town?
May I express my per.sonal opinion .It this point." stated the speaker, "after summarizing what have I done as a pes.slmist I feel mean; so let me say here and now—I think Nazareth Is the fciest town In the world. I drifted from the subject we are analyzing—Why is Nazareth a good town? We have a good Council. School Board, good schools, good fellowship, good banks, good industries, good firemen, and good Industrious people. They do the best they possibly can If I do not eon- .sider It the best town, than my thoughts are not consistent with my actions. Nobody ever asked me to come to Nazareth, stay In Nazareth, or leave Nazareth; and. If I did leave probably nobody would miss me. Then, why do I stay In Nasareth?— I like the old town and the good old spirit of the town."
"Third, what can I do to make Nasareth a better town? — Speak well of my community, I am a part of It—I will not be a small pouto. It Is easier to criticise than correct. If I do not approve of actions than I will suggest a better way. If I can't than I couldn't do any better. I will •"peak well or keep quiet I will not be a 'knocker'. He who freely magni¬ fies what has been done and fears not to declare as freely what might be done better gives the best cove¬ nant of his faith In and loyalty to the commtinlty.
"I am one tooth of the 5500 com¬ prising this community. If one tooth out of 5500 In a set of gears Is broken out. the machinery will not run smoothly. I will be a good sound tooth, I will do my share and co¬ operate with the other 5499 and we will be a smooth running commun¬ ity, eager to make Nazareth a btfger and better community. While we have the best town In the best coun¬ try In the best state In the union, we can Improve it. If I. a citizen will do mv pa It.—let's all pull together.— This is what I see In the mirror,— what do you sec?" A full note of approval was accorded the speaker following his closing remarks.
