The community supported the Farm Loan bill and government guarantee of bank deposits. The Chamber's employment headquarters helped provide jobs to 825 men and women, as well as $390,000 in relief checks. The JayCees (Junior Chamber for Young Businessmen) was formed in the mid-1930's. When our famous resident, Amelia Earhart, disappeared in her attempted around-the-world flight in 1937, the JayCees placed a plaque in her honor at Five Points (the multiple intersection of Camarillo, Lankershim and Vineland streets). In later years, the Chamber supported their continuing efforts for a statute in North Hollywood Park in 1971 and the library name change to the Amelia Earhart branch in 1981.

In 1936 a new post office was dedicated and our first traffic signal was installed at Lankershim and Magnolia Blvds. We became the fastest-growing community in the Valley, and pushed for the opening of a Cahuenga Pass thoroughfare. We supported the construction of Hansen Dam and the purchase of a junior high school site and its development in 1939.
