Junior Chambers of Commerce Another effort is to be made to form a junior chamber of commerce in Matamata. As Te Awamutu has recently formed such a chamber, a canvass of Matamata has been made, and there is a prospect of about 20 members. It has been explained that a junior chamber does not tackle policy matters, which were left to the senior body. They deal more with civic and such matters.
