The spark of this resurgence in activity is the bonanza of $20,000 in cash prizes offered by the Pennsylvania State Chamber of Commerce's Community Development contest and the many thousands of "matching" dollars offered in some localities by private business firms. This fourth year of the contest, which started in 1955 with only $10,000 in prizes, is sponsored by the State Chamber and ten cooperating or ganizations as co-sponsors.

For each ofg the last three years, approximately 200 cities and towns vied for the many awards and the honors that went with them. This year, more than 300 cities and towns are expected to enter the contest. Thirty-! fue of them, seven in each of five population classes, will win awards, and all of the others will have completed other projects and benefited from those activities. "In this contest, no community is a loser," says Clarence W. Funk, of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau Federation, who is the 1958 contest chairman.
