~ THE HERALD—CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SUPPLEMENT.

Forward With Northern SDdeuclopment 7

The 4ist annual convention of
the NorthWest Chamber - of
Commerce and ils Alaskan

affliales is expected to attract .

as many as 250 delegates from
Juneau to Burns Lake. Sixteen
Chambers will be sending
representatives to the meeting.
_| The Chambers involved are
from Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan,
Anchorage, Wrangell and
Petersburg in Alaska and from
Houston, Smithers, Hazelton,
Talkwa, Kitimat, Prince
Rupert, Stewart, Burns Lake,
Masset and the host Chamber
Terrace,

The conference begins
tomorrow (Thursday) and will
involve four days of business
and social events. Among the
many social events are a golf
tournament, a fishing derby,

two breakfasts and a fashion |

show. The business meetings,
however, are the reason far the
gathering. At these get
togethers the various Chambers
present resolutions dealing’
with yarious loca] and regional
problems.
Although the Alaskan
delegates will .have_no real

voice in the list of resolutions

which goes to the British
Columbia Chamber of Com-
merce, their experience will be

of great help in dealing with

‘some problems and they can get

a first-hand look at solutions to
problems that affect them in

many cases also.

The theme for this year's
conference is Forward With
Northern Development and
much of the accent will as in
past years, deal with the
numerous transportation
problems of the area. Without
the necessary transportation
links talk of northern
development is just talk and the
Associated Chambers will
continue their campaign which
has alread y. been largely
responsible ‘for the Terrace-
Kitimat airport's facilities, the
completion of Yellowhead 16

* from Prince George to Jasper

and the continual up-grading
work of highway 16;

Friday morning the delegates
will take time off for a fishing
derby, meeting at noon for a
special luncheon at the Terrace
Vocational School. Friday
seems to be more of a day. -of
rest thana day of business with

a golf tournament that af-.f

De

terncon and the fun continuing
with a wine and cheese party
later that night.
