Among those who discussed the new as- sxwianonregranTwefe Malcolm Burnslde, president owier, jjick ana waiker, the Bos. ton Store, and chairman of yes. terday's grbup meeting: "If the attitude and action of the nearly fifty Valley commercial leader at yesterday's meeting are Indicative ox what can be expected th reel tnat tne success of the new association is assured. The com.

mtttee, consisting of Messrs. Berg. man, Adamy and Walter, submitted a- plan of organization that certainly, covered the ground. That committee did a mighty good job. Those who attended seemed to feel the same way about it and Voiced their approval by adopting I It A a Afr Ariflmr nnM A jg ff utmost importance that business groups organize now for prompt, particularly because of the possibility of government regulation which would hamper, If not re strict, growth of business In va rious lines, yesterday's meeting was a real inspiration to me and 1 4elieve-to the-husiness-menwbo attended." Justin Bergman, proprietor of Bergmans: "yesterdays meeting I feel, plainly Indicated how business men have been feeling for a long time, that Is.

that there are certain matters affecting business nterests which can be settled by those most affected, the business man themselves. With united ac tion of the kind that was so thor oughly In evidence at the meeting today, the movament for a new association cannot help but be a real success." Harrv D. Adamy, president ana generar manager, the Lazarus department store: "Commercial activities are faeintr the dawn of a new day with possible expansion In many lines, and it may bring restriction of operations by governmental regulation. Group organization for prompt action on matters vitally affecting business in terests and our community was never more Important than right now. It seems to me we must de termine soon whether we are going to drift or chart our course.

The economic trend will naturally be reflected in improvement In general business, 'out every community will be re-rated according to the pro gressiveness and standards of Its commercial leadership. We must have Imagination, the need, the de sire and spirit to do things. If we need a surgeon's knife for an oper at on. It 1 the scientific and sen slble way to do It What we need now Is a plan to restore vigor and to direct enthusiastic purpose into practical channels, leaving to other very capable agencies the general welfare work of the community. There is no reason why a com munlty cannot assume leadership among cities just as certain bus! ness Institutions are recognized in this wonderful ago of competition, To accomplish things, however, we must remain rooted to the Job, Most business men recognize that unassembled effort and widespread ambition are the things that mako most communt.es fail to make progress.

Too many irons In the Are are difficult to handle success fully, and I am pleased that the new organization Is apparently go lng to specialize in its own field of business where results are most likely to be realized Percy A. Brown, president Percy Brown Co: "I certainly heartily approve of tho movement, have felt for a long time that this step by tho Business Interests of the valley is, and Has been, very. very necessary. There aro undoubt edly certain problems which our business people must work out for themaclvea, and they only, by united and should solve them. More power to tho new as soclatlon." Paul R.

The movement launched, I one In the right direction cannot help but be the greatest benefit to every business interest 1 nthe Valley." K. L. Walter.
