Cow Palace Page 1 Speech File The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce shares the feeling of pride which our City feels in playing host to the largest Junior Livestock Show of its kind in the world. Certainly the Directors of the #1-A District Agricultural Association and Nye Wilson and his staff are entitled to great credit for this achievement. The San Francisco Chamber has consistently supported the Grand National Junior Livestock Exposition as well as the Annual Grand National Livestock Exposition here at the Cow Palace. Each year, as have a number of our member firms and interested organizations, the Chamber has contributed toward the purchase of a calf by one of the young winners of the San Francisco Junior Chamber's Livestock Merit Award Program. Our Agricultural Committee has inaugurated a "Salute to Farm Youth" held annually in conjunction with the Junior Grand National, at which we honor at a luncheon the leading members of the 4-H Clubs and Future Farmers of America Chapters of this State.
