October 21 is to be observed through
out the world as Edison Day. At' tile
Panama-Pacific Exposition a special
celebration will be held and scientists
will lecture on Edison's many inven-
tions. October 21. 1879.'is the date on
which Edison produced the first com-
mercially practible incandescent
ilamp. However, inany of his othei
,achlbvements are to be included in the
Edison Day ceremonies at the exposi

linventhns to which we largely owe the
efficiency of the telephone and tele-

John Humphrey. president of the Con\
necticut Associatlrg of Comtelcla.
and Civic Executives.
The year, said president Johnston, in
his addlféss. had been one of new pro
blems, resulting from the radical
change of a year ago when it was vot»
ed to change the title of the organiza-
tion from the State Business Mens‘
Association of Connecticut to The Con-
necticut Chamber of Commerce and to
so broaden the field as .to interest
“every thoughtful citizen of the state."
There was a phenomenal spread of
chamber of commerce enthusiasm in
the state during the year, he said. not
so much in the ‘way of new associa-
tions, but in the development of the
old business mens' associations in to
live up-to-date chambers of commerce?
“A year ago” he said, "there was re
presentedst the state convention of
the chamber 35 associations with a re-
ported membership of 5043 and today
we have 37 chambers of commerce and
business men's assoeistion affiliated
with us with a reported membership
of 8 281. an increase of nearly 70 per
cent‘
Dunliury, be said, heads the list, with
1,100 members an increase over last
year of 400 per cent. Hartford has
1,500 as compared with 700 last year:
Putnam 1215 as as. diet 1‘0 last; yeal,
Windsor' 256 as against 150 in 1914;
and Middletown 186 as against 112 in
1914.
'ihese increases have brought, he
explained, by consolidation of differ—
ent commercial bodies in some. cities
but in most cities by entirely new as-
sociations. built on broader and bigger
lines. bringing into their membership
:1 much wider circle or their citizens.
He continued: "Today i believe that
the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce
stands higher in the opinion of the
citizens of the state than ever before
and that its influence for good is ac-
knowledged in every part of this
state.
"’l‘he'best men of the state have giv-
en their time and thought to the study
of state problems, and no action has
been taken by the state chamber ex-
~cept after thorough investigation.
“All of our efforts haVe been direct-
ed towards bringing about in Connecti-
cut the most practical audmore elli-
cieut management'of our municipall~
lies. and our commonwealth by thesp-
pllcation of common-sense business
principles by keeping before our mean
time for the study of these everyday
problems, both civic and business. .
“Your state officers have given
every effort during the year to
cooperation of ~the local association
with the State Chamber and toward a
program of publicity that would inter-
larg e."
was paid the compliment of being ask-
ed in conference by many committees
of the last general assembly and that
own bill endorsed by the Connecti-
cut Chamber of Commerce was passed.
He recommended at each chamber of
Commerce through its standing com-
mittee endeavor to keep it! much clos-
er touch with the senator from Its
districts and the representatives than
appeared to be the case last winter.
Continuing he said:
"Along the line of cooperation, i
wish to urge an entirely different pol—
icy in many of our associations.
"it is not .my province to criticise,
but to help build up and yet in mywls-
its throughout the state, i cannot help
but notice in some cities, and in yours,
the lack of hearty cooperation be-
cal municipal officers.
"Your Chamber of Commerce should
work hand in' hand with the officials
of your city or town for the up-build-
ing of your community and where this
is not the case, it would. seem to me
to be a decided lack of Judgment on
real cooperation has been for the state
Chamber during the past years, and it
has been our constant endeavor to re-
ness relations between the local Cham-
ber, the officers of the municipality the
Connecticut Chamber of- Commerce.
'Once thoroughly united these forms
of business and civic exprebslon would
carry forward the solution of our web
incurs at a rate newer accomplished be-
ore.” ‘
Great interest had been shown by a
number of Chambers, he said, in the
commission form of government and
a committee had been appointed to
look into and make a report to the
state chamber. The increase in the
such that the need of an executive sec
retary who could give largely of his
time to the work was apparent. He
also recommended the appointment of
standing committees to "study care-
fully such important problems as our
state finances, state taxation. trans
portation, a state sewerage policy.in
dustriai legislation andrbe ready to
rrecommen to. the oflclal boards and
committees f the state more~indlvld~
ual cooperation." We also recommend.
ed the ap tinent. of a carefully
selected co mittee "who shall endeav-
or our manufacturers, bankers and
businessmen in a. far- if
and horticultural possibilities."
in closing he' 'pa‘id a tribute to two
former state presidents, who died dur-
Britain and Samuel E.
Bridgfport. .
