Hendersonville, June 5—J.C. Newton of Shelby, former superintendent of schools of Cleveland County, but now secretary of Shelby’s new Chamber of Commerce and who began his duties in the latter capacity June 1, was the guest of J.E. Stubbs, secretary of the Hendersonville Chamber of Commerce, spending a major part of the day here with Mr. Stubbs, getting a slant on secretarial duties in chamber of commerce work.
When the new trade body was recently organized in Shelby, O. Max Gardner was elected president. With the committee still at work, Mr. Newton reported that $7,000 had already been raised for the new chamber of commerce.
Shelby’s chamber will at once become affiliated with the Western North Carolina Federated Chambers of Commerce, and Mr. Newton will join the state secretaries’ organization.
Mr. Newton was shown the high spots in Henderson and was given as much “dope” on his new job as was possible for Mr. Stubbs to “pour” into him.
