Ypsi Commerce
Secretary Here
Carl Ungrodt Outlines
Advantages of Chambers
Of Commerce
itftnes Another Easter Ds#n
Carl Ungrodt, secretary of
the Ypsilanti Chamber of Commerce was a dinner guest and
speaker at Rotary here last
week by invitation of Ed Warner, program chairman, and
outlined the activities of a
Chamber of Commerce and its
usefulness in a community. Its
underlying purpose is to promote the commercial, industrial
and civic activities of its community, and should be thoroughly representative of every
segment of the population within its area, he declared, and
suggested that where conditions
do not warrant the employment
of a full time Chamber secretary, a part time secretary
works out very well and can usually be selected from among
local businessmen who have established offices and who should
be reimbursed for his services.
Mr. Ungrodt pointed out that
a live Chamber of Commerce
acts as a spur to civic minded-
ness and where such an organization meets and deals ' with
matters of common interest, it
tends to break down prejudice
and intolerance, and those
questions of a controversial nature, which occur, more or less
in every community,-are usually
ironed out very agreeably.   •
While -organizations of this
character in Michigan towns
and cities are numerous, Ungrodt declared that Canadian
communities are organizing
commercial clubs on a wide
scale and much more rapidly
than in this country.
When George Pingston, Ann
Arbor building contractor, and
Art Sehaaf ..announced that
they were making plans to erect
several dwellings in Saline for
Veterans, having, made their
choice between- this crEy aiid
Ann Arbor, they were assurred
at least the moral support of
those present, and Ungrodt declared he wished they had selected Ypsilanti, where the
housing shortage was critical.
Accompanying the speaker,
and a dinner guest, was Spencer
A. Davis, of Ypsilanti.
